How to grow potatoes on the balconyStep 1Potatoes are generally propagated by tubers, so we need to go to the market to buy a few potatoes. When choosing potatoes, choose those with undamaged and smooth surfaces. It would be even better if you can find those that have sprouted. Step 2We need to use a knife to cut the potatoes we buy into several small pieces. If we observe carefully, we will find that there are several "small eyes" on the surface of the potato. These "small eyes" are the bud eyes of the potato, and the roots and buds grow from here. Therefore, every piece of potato we cut must contain such an eye. Step 3After cutting the potatoes and making sure each piece has an eye, we put some wood ash on the cut surface of the potatoes and put them in the sun for 1-2 days. Step 4While the potato tubers are basking in the sun, we can prepare the soil. There is no need to be particular about the soil when planting potatoes, ordinary garden soil will do, but it must be dry, not too wet, otherwise the potato tubers will easily rot when planted. Step 5Place the dried potato tubers flat on the soil surface with the buds facing upwards. The distance between the tubers should be about 15-20 cm. Then cover them with a layer of soil and place them in a well-lit and ventilated place. After about 1-2 weeks, when the potatoes sprout, you can water them thoroughly. Step 6You don't need to water the potatoes too much before they bloom. Only when the soil is particularly dry, water them a little, but don't water them thoroughly. Wait until they bloom before watering them heavily. This will help them grow big potatoes. Step 7In addition, potatoes must be guaranteed sufficient light during the growing period. If the plants show signs of excessive growth, they must be topped and pinched. Step 8After sowing, the potatoes can be harvested in about 60 days! |
