Many people are not used to the taste of fennel, but those who like fennel really love it. Use pork filling and chopped fennel to make buns, and you won’t know how tempting they are! Now is the season for eating fennel, and Huahua saw a lot of it being sold in the market!

In fact, fennel can also be grown at home! And the fennel grown at home can be picked and eaten right away, and it tastes especially good! Now Huahua will tell you how to grow fennel at home!

Generally speaking, fennel is grown through seeds. We can buy some fennel seeds in the market or online and sprinkle them in the nutrient soil we have prepared in advance. When growing vegetables at home, it is best to find square plastic foam boxes. These boxes will be neatly placed on the balcony and will not get in the way.

The planting method is very simple. After talking about the planting method, let’s talk about the growth habits of fennel. Fennel is a plant that prefers cool, shady environments. Therefore, it is very suitable to plant in such an environment in autumn. The most suitable temperature for fennel growth is between 15-25 degrees Celsius. As long as it is above 5 degrees Celsius, fennel can grow!

The temperature factor is easy to control. If you plant it now, as long as the ambient temperature of fennel is not lower than 5 degrees Celsius in winter, it will grow well in the future! Then it’s about watering and lighting. If the watering and lighting are appropriate, you can harvest in one or two months!

When watering fennel, do not water it too much. Fennel is relatively fragile and does not like strong light. Also, the light exposure time of fennel should not be too long, as this will affect the greenness of the fennel leaves and may cause the leaves to turn yellow.

Don’t worry about not growing enough fennel to eat, as fennel is a plant with strong regenerative abilities! When it grows to about 50 cm, you can harvest it. Don't pull it up by the roots, leave some roots, and fennel can grow several more times!
