Don’t Buy Garlic Anymore – Here’s How to Grow It in a Pot Endlessly 🌱🧄✨
Garlic is one of those ingredients we reach for almost every day — in sauces, curries, soups, and even home remedies. But instead of buying it again and again, you can grow your own endless supply right at home, even if you only have a small balcony or windowsill. All you need is a pot, some soil, and a few garlic cloves.
🌿 Why Grow Garlic at Home?
- Saves money — no more weekly garlic runs to the market.
- Always fresh, chemical-free cloves at your fingertips.
- Easy to grow indoors or outdoors, even in small spaces.
🪴 How to Grow Garlic in a Pot
- Choose the right cloves
Select large, healthy garlic cloves (avoid the tiny inner ones). Organic garlic is best. - Prepare the pot
Use a pot at least 8–10 inches deep with drainage holes. Garlic roots need space to grow. - Plant the cloves
Place each clove in the soil with the pointed side up and the flat side down. Plant about 2 inches deep, leaving 3–4 inches of space between each. - Water gently
Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Garlic doesn’t like waterlogging. - Give it sunlight
Place the pot in a sunny spot where it gets at least 6 hours of light daily.
🌱 Harvesting Your Garlic
- In about 3–4 weeks, you’ll see green shoots. You can snip and use these garlic greens like spring onions.
- After 4–6 months, when the leaves start turning yellow and dry, it’s time to harvest full garlic bulbs.
♻️ Endless Supply Trick
Here’s the secret: Always save a few cloves from your harvest and replant them. By repeating this cycle, you’ll never need to buy garlic again!
✅ Final Thought: Growing garlic in a pot is simple, cost-effective, and rewarding. With just one pot, you can enjoy fresh garlic greens and bulbs all year long — straight from your home garden. 🌼
