How and when to plant potted chives? Should the soil be changed every year?

1. Planting time

Chives are suitable for growing in an environment with a temperature of about 25 degrees. If the temperature is too high, the seedlings are likely to die, and if it is too low, it is not conducive to growth. Therefore, it is recommended to plant it in spring or autumn.

2. Planting Method

1. Choose a flower pot: When planting leeks in a pot, choose one with a slightly larger diameter. If you don’t have a flower pot, you can choose a foam box. Make sure to disinfect it before planting.

2. Prepare the potting soil: The soil requirements are not very high, but it must be ensured to have sufficient nutrients. When planting, you can mix fertile garden soil, perlite and fine river sand. This not only ensures nutrients, but also has good drainage performance, which is conducive to growth. Please make sure to disinfect before use.

3. Sowing in pots: If you choose to sow in spring, there is no need for germination. Germination is recommended in other seasons. When cultivating, you can first raise seedlings and then transplant them. This makes management easier and prevents lodging from occurring easily.

4. Transplanting setting: The seedlings can be transplanted after they grow to a certain height. Be careful not to damage the roots when transplanting. When planting, leave a little space between each cluster to facilitate harvesting later. Water thoroughly after planting to promote root growth.

3. Do you change the soil every year?

The soil of leeks grown in pots needs to be changed once a year, and the best time is in spring when the temperature is suitable, which can help them adapt faster. The soil you replace must also have sufficient nutrients so that the leeks can grow vigorously in the later stage.
