Will garlic bloom? How to propagate it?

1. Will it bloom?

The garlic we see in our daily lives can bloom. It usually takes 5 months from garlic cloves to flowers, but many people have never seen it. When garlic is harvested after it matures, you won’t see the flowers bloom. If you don’t harvest it and let it continue to grow, it will slowly elongate and grow into a garlic sprout. The yellow-white thing at the top is its flower, so the garlic scapes we usually eat are the scapes of garlic. After flowering, seeds will also grow, but it will be very troublesome to harvest the seeds for reproduction, so this method is not often used in daily life.

2. How to reproduce

It reproduces through bulbs, which we call garlic cloves. Before planting, you must first prepare the loam. It is best to use loose, well-drained sandy soil. Before use, you must treat the loam and disinfect it to avoid the occurrence of diseases and pests. Apply enough base fertilizer and level the loam. Select full and plump garlic cloves without any damage, bury them in the soil, and spray water to ensure they are moist. After a period of time, seedlings will grow. At this time, fertilizer should be applied and weeds should be removed in time. In winter, management should be strengthened and attention should be paid to keeping warm.
