| variety | Germination rate | Yield (g/head) |
|---|---|---|
| purple garlic | 92% | 35-40 |
| white garlic | 88% | 30-35 |
2. Comparison of planting methods
| Way | advantage | shortcoming | Period (days) |
|---|---|---|---|
| hydroponics | Clean, hygienic and easy to operate | Need frequent water changes | 12-15 |
| sand soil culture | More comprehensive nutrition | Management is more complex | 15-20 |
3. Key points of environmental control
According to agricultural forum data in the past 10 days, the ideal growing conditions are:
| factor | best range | critical value |
|---|---|---|
| temperature | 18-25℃ | Stop growth at <10℃ |
| humidity | 60-70% | 85% perishable |
| illumination | Completely protected from light | Turns green when exposed to light |
3. Solutions to common problems
1. Garlic turns yellow and turns green: Chlorophyll is produced due to exposure to light. Although it is edible, the taste will deteriorate. It is recommended to use black plastic bags or cartons to block light.
2. Root rot: Mostly caused by water accumulation, hydroponics should change the water every day, while soil cultivation can keep the substrate slightly moist.
3. Slow growth: When the temperature is lower than 15℃, a heating pad can be used to assist in raising the temperature (recently, the sales of heating pads on a platform have increased by 40% month-on-month).
4. Harvest and Preservation
When the garlic grows to 15-20cm, use scissors to harvest it 1cm from the base. Experiments show:
| Save method | Shelf life (days) | Things to note |
|---|---|---|
| refrigeration | 5-7 | Wrap in wet paper towels |
| vacuum | 10-12 | avoid squeezing |
5. Netizens’ innovative planting methods
The "three-dimensional planting method" popular on short video platforms recently: inserting garlic cloves into foam boards and floating on the water can increase space utilization by 30%. Data shows that users who adopt this method have an average output increase of 22%.
By mastering these points, you can easily grow fresh and tender garlic. Now is a good time for planting (meteorological data shows that the temperature will be stable at around 20℃ in the next 10 days), so give it a try!
