So, can you imagine being able to enjoy all its benefits without having to buy it every time you go shopping at the supermarket? Would it be possible to easily germinate garlic at home? Apparently YES\u2026 Explanation!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"est-il-possible-de-cultiver-de-lail-a-linterieur\">Is it possible to grow garlic indoors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santeplusmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Faire-pousser-lail-a-linterieur.jpg\" alt=\"growing garlic indoors\" class=\"wp-image-375112\" title=\"I don't buy garlic at the store anymore. My gardener told me how to grow it in large quantities 2\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can grow garlic perfectly as a houseplant. It is enough that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your pot should be equipped with a drainage hole at the bottom.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your plant is placed in a bright location where it can benefit from the sun&#8217;s rays.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place your plant in a dry room. Garlic is afraid of excess water and humidity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, growing garlic at home can have some drawbacks. And it lies in the way it is grown indoors which is somewhat different. Clearly, it is impossible to expect its pods to turn into actual bulbs after just a few weeks in the ground. Sure, you can harvest garlic leaves instead, which can be chopped raw to add to salads, garnish soups, add flavor to stir-fries, and enhance the taste of many recipes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"comment-faire-pousser-lail-dans-leau\">How to grow garlic in water?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santeplusmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Faire-pousser-lail-dans-leau.jpg\" alt=\"growing garlic in water\" class=\"wp-image-375113\" title=\"I don't buy garlic at the store anymore. My gardener told me how to grow it in large quantities 3\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you live in an apartment or don&#8217;t have the space to grow garlic in your garden, our ingenious method is a great alternative. Follow the guide to see how to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Select the right garlic cloves:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0this is a necessary step, dear readers! Opt for sprouted pods (those with a little green button on top). Otherwise, you will need to take a whole bulb and cut off the pointy end with a knife.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prepare your container:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Get a clear glass container (to monitor your plant&#8217;s germination) that can hold approximately 250 g of water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Separate the garlic bulbs into individual cloves:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Place each clove (with its skin on) along the sides of the bowl, making sure the pointed or sprouted end is facing up.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add water:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Fill your container with warm water, just enough to cover the bottom of your garlic clove. It&#8217;s important not to submerge them, because they can die!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wait a while:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Place your container in a very sunny spot for about a week. But don&#8217;t forget to replenish the water if necessary. If the tops of the pods start to change color and turn brown, place your bowl out of direct sunlight for 1 or 2 days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Harvesting garlic sprouts:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0When the seedlings reach at least 8 cm in height, cut them off with scissors. That said, only take as much as you need, as these quickly lose their flavour. Also keep in mind that after the first harvest, your garlic will definitely not produce any more sprouts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>ENJOY:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0With these simple steps, you can now enjoy your garlic for your culinary needs!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a video to guide you step by step:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"comment-faire-pousser-de-lail-a-partir-dune-gousse-avec-lastuce-du-bidon\">How to grow garlic from a clove with the can trick?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vegetables are usually grown from seeds, but to grow garlic, you simply need to plant individual cloves! Check out our guide to show you how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>To start, cut off the bottom half of a 5 litre container and make 4 holes in the bottom.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fill your pot with potting soil and make 3 holes about 10 cm deep.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carefully remove 3 cloves of garlic from the water, being careful not to damage the roots.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santeplusmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gousse-dail-avec-racines.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-375114\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"4\">\n<li>Then, cut the roots slightly, about 3 cm from the stem.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insert one clove per hole (stem side up) and cover with a little soil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pour the water from the container that held the garlic cloves or head into your new pot.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"730\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santeplusmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cultiver-lail-dans-un-bidon-de-5-litres.jpg\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All you have to do is wait a few weeks, dear readers, and your potted garlic will be ready to eat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also use this technique to plant garlic directly in the soil in your garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"plantation-automne-hiver-printemps-quand-et-comment-planter-lail-a-lexterieur\">Fall-winter-spring sowing: when and how to plant garlic outdoors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to succeed in planting garlic, it is essential to follow a methodical and well-defined program! It should therefore be noted that garlic generally requires a cold period (0 to 10 \u00b0C) to produce quality bulbs, i.e. 1 to 2 months. This is why&nbsp;&nbsp;gardeners&nbsp;&nbsp;usually plant it in late autumn or early winter. In other words, to obtain satisfactory results, it is necessary to proceed between October and February. However, for your information, dear readers, some varieties are suitable for planting in early spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to grow garlic in the garden or orchard?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santeplusmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cultiver-lail-dans-son-jardin.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-375116\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prepare your soil:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Garlic needs a sunny, well-drained spot to grow. However, avoid planting it in acidic soil (with a pH below 6.5).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plant your pods<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0: Break the bulbs into individual pods and, while keeping the skin on, bury them 3-4cm deep below the surface of the soil, with the root facing down and the pointy end facing up! Space them 15cm apart from each other.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Water your plants:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0During dry periods, be sure to water your garlic well to encourage bulb growth. Avoid getting the leaves wet, as this can lead to fungal diseases. Stop watering completely during the last few weeks of growth (yellowing foliage and well-formed bulbs).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"combien-faut-il-de-temps-pour-faire-pousser-de-lail\">How long does it take to grow garlic?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Growing your own garlic from cloves takes about 6 to 7 months. If you plant the garlic cloves in the middle of winter, you can enjoy them between June and August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to harvest garlic?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.santeplusmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Recolter-lail.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-375117\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re wondering when is the best time to harvest garlic, look for signs that your plant is ready: yellow or brown leaves and drooping heads. Need to know how to harvest? Follow our tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Carefully dig the garlic bulbs out of the soil with a garden fork.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then dry them thoroughly by exposing them to sunlight or placing them in a dry, well-ventilated place. The drying process takes between 2 and 4 weeks. Be careful, if mold appears, use a fan heater to speed up drying.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the garlic leaves are very dry and crispy, cut off the bulbs and store them in a dry place to keep for several months.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep in mind :<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you harvest too early, the pods will not be well formed, and if you harvest late, the bulbs may split open and not last as long!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you may have understood, dear readers,&nbsp;&nbsp;growing garlic is very easy at home&nbsp;&nbsp;, and you do not need to have a dedicated planting space to grow it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In addition to being considered a true superfood with multiple health benefits, garlic is also an essential ingredient that adds a unique flavour to all our culinary recipes.
