Why do chives always fail to grow well on the balcony?

Unsuitable humidity

Scallions have shallow root systems and require less water than green onions, but are not drought-tolerant. The suitable soil humidity is 70%-80%, and the suitable air humidity is 60%-70%.

Improper lighting

The light condition requires moderate intensity. Under strong light conditions, the tissue is prone to aging, the fiber increases, and the quality deteriorates. Some flower lovers place it in direct sunlight, which is actually not appropriate. It can be properly shaded.

Imbalance of trace elements in soil

The soil for growing chives should be loose, fertile, and easy-to-drain and water loam. A balanced supply of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and trace elements is required. If the trace elements in the soil are unbalanced, the plant will grow slowly and have sparse leaves.

You can apply fertilizer appropriately, but be careful not to touch the stems and leaves when applying fertilizer to avoid burning the seedlings.

Unreasonable temperature

The suitable temperature for the growth of stems and leaves of chives is 18-23 degrees Celsius, and the suitable soil temperature for the growth of roots is 14-18 degrees Celsius. The growth rate is slow when the temperature is above 28 degrees Celsius. It can be adjusted appropriately according to local temperature conditions. If it is too hot, move it to a cool place; if it is too cold, move it to a warm place.
