How to grow leek

1. Breeding environment

1. Soil: It is best to use fertile, loose sandy soil for growing leeks, and ensure moisture during planting.

2. Light: Provide it with a sunny growing environment. If it is kept in a shady environment for a long time, it will easily fail to bloom.

3. Fertilization: You can apply organic fertilizer or phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, generally once every 2-3 months. Appropriately increasing the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer can make the bulbs bigger and will be more conducive to flowering.

2. Breeding Methods

Propagation by bulb division: Dig out the bulbs in spring and remove the old soil. About 6-10 bulbs can be planted in a 20 cm pot. If large-scale reproduction is required, deep planting can be carried out, and the soil can cover the bulbs by 3 cm, allowing it to divide more and bloom less, and then it can be transplanted in the spring of next year.

3. Common pests and diseases

Chives generally do not suffer from diseases and pests. During normal maintenance, old roots should be trimmed in time. Once diseases and pests are found, they should be sprayed with pesticides in time to avoid harming more plants.
