Hello dear friends!Today I am going to share with you the methods and techniques of how to grow broccoli. Before I do that, I would like to ask you all about why broccoli is called "cauliflower"?Haha, in fact, this is because its flowers look like small flowers, and its nutritional value is very high, known as the "king of vegetables". So, let's take a look at how to grow this delicious and nutritious vegetable at home!
First of all, we want to choose a suitable planting container for broccoli. You can choose a larger pot or a plastic bucket, but make sure there are drainage holes at the bottom so that moisture doesn't accumulate and the roots rot. If you want to grow more broccoli at once, opt for a larger container, but be careful to keep proper spacing so they don't compete for nutrients and space.
Next, we're going to prepare some fertile soil for broccoli. You can buy some versatile flower soil in the market or make your own. In general, we can mix garden soil, humus soil and sand in a 3:1:1 ratio, which can provide sufficient nutrients and good drainage properties for broccoli.
Now, we're going to start growing broccoli. First, we are going to dig a small pit in the soil and put the broccoli seeds into the small pit. Keep the distance between the seeds around 5-10 cm so that they don't get too crowded. Next, we need to cover the seeds with soil, about 1-2 cm thick. Finally, we need to water the soil thoroughly, but be careful not to overwater it so as not to cause the seeds to rot.
Once the broccoli is grown, we need to provide a suitable environment for it to grow. First of all, we want to make sure that the broccoli receives at least 4-6 hours of sunlight per day, because sunlight is necessary for it to photosynthesize. Secondly, we want to keep the soil moist, but avoid overwatering. Generally, we can water broccoli every 2-3 days, but in dry seasons or hot weather, we need to increase the frequency of watering. In addition, we can also properly apply some fertilizer to the broccoli to promote its growth and flowering.
In the process of broccoli growth, we should pay attention to its growth. If you find signs of pests and diseases, take timely measures**. At the same time, we also prune and prune the broccoli regularly to keep it healthy and beautiful.
