When planting leeks, you can use either seeds or old roots. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Among them, if seeds are used to sow seedlings, the time of raising seedlings will be very long, and transplanting will be required in the later stage. But the harvesting period is also long and it is easy to manage. Transplanting with old roots can save a lot of time. It grows quickly after planting and can be harvested as soon as possible. However, the growing years will be limited, and the varieties will decrease over time, and they need to be replanted after a certain number of years of cultivation.

Its propagation methods can be divided into two types. One is sowing with seeds and the other is transplanting with roots. Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. Among them, seed sowing and seedling raising are mostly used when planting large areas. Although the seedling cultivation time is relatively long and transplanting is required, the advantage is that the harvest period is also long, it is easy to manage in the later period, and the growth is also good.

Transplanting with old roots is mostly done at home. Its advantage is that it can save a lot of time in sowing and raising seedlings. After planting, leeks will grow faster and can be harvested as soon as possible. However, the disadvantage is that the harvesting period will be limited. Over time, the quality of leeks will be affected, and they will need to be replanted later.

< p>1. Prune old roots: Replanting means using old roots for propagation. The first thing to pay attention to is to prune old roots. After digging out, cut off some overly long fibrous roots, diseased roots, old roots, and dead roots, leaving about 5 centimeters of old roots. In this way, water and nutrients will be better absorbed in the later period after pruning, so that new roots will germinate faster, which is beneficial to growth.

2. Prune the leaves: In addition to pruning the roots, you must also Trim the leaves. Especially for some leaves that are too long, two-thirds should be cut off, otherwise a lot of nutrients will be lost after planting and germination will be affected.
