How long is the growing period of chives?

The growth cycle of chives is about 90 days, but this time is not fixed. The growth cycle of different varieties of chives is also different, and it is also related to the local climate and subsequent maintenance.

The growth of chives goes through several stages including germination, seedling, and onion white formation. The plants are mostly planted around Qingming and Grain Rain, and it takes half a year to mature.

The growth process of chives

1. Germination period: From the time the chive seeds are planted to the time the first true leaf grows is its germination period, which lasts about 10-15 days.

2. Seedling stage: From the appearance of the first true leaf of the chive to the planting of the plant is its seedling stage, during which the plant grows slowly.

3. The green onion white formation period: About 10 days after the chives are planted, they will enter the green onion white formation period, at which time the pseudostem of the plant will grow rapidly and become thicker.

Growth period maintenance and management of chives

1. During the seedling stage of chives, it is necessary to apply fertilizer to promote seedling growth, and thinning and weeding should be carried out at the same time to promote the healthy growth of the seedlings.

2. Chives require frequent fertilization during the onion white formation period, which helps the plants accumulate nutrients and improves the quality and yield of chives.
