Difficulty
With its straightforward care requirements, Wild Garlic is a hassle-free plant that anyone can enjoy.
Water
Wild Garlic should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
Soil
Wild Garlic loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.
Toxicity
No verified data on the toxicity of this plant exists within Ploi's records. Should you, someone in your family, or your pet ingest plant material with an unknown toxicity level, it is recommended to seek medical advice.
Humidity
The Wild Garlic does not demand additional humidity levels. Water is mostly absorbed by the roots of plants, rather than their leaves, and the best way to provide humidity to your plants is through watering the soil.
Fertilizer
Once the Wild Garlic has doubled in size or after a year has passed, it should be moved to a new pot. By replacing the soil with fresh potting soil containing all the vital nutrients, your plant will receive all the sustenance it needs, negating the requirement for fertilizer. It's important to remember that plants get their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.
Growth-pattern
New growth will sprout from the top of the Wild Garlic as it grows vertically.
Region of origin
Wild Garlic’s native range is the Northern Hemisphere, South America, and Africa.
