How to Grow Garlic Indoors
Watch more Indoor Plants & Container Gardening videos: http://www.howcast.com/videos/217948-How-to-Grow-Garlic-Indoors Follow these easy steps and you'll have a delicious seasoning within a couple of weeks, and full grown heads of garlic in a couple of months. Step 1: Buy a garlic head Purchase a head of garlic from your local grocery store or nursery. Larger heads work best for growing indoors. Step 2: Fill pot with soil Fill a large pot with enriched potting soil. Break the head of garlic apart, but don't peel the cloves. Plant several cloves at least six inches apart and two to three inches deep in the soil. Step 3: Place pot in sunlight Place the pot in an area that gets plenty of direct sunlight. Step 4: Maintain your cloves Water your cloves every few days over the next two weeks, but be careful not to overwater. If the soil feels dry to the touch, water is needed. Step 5: Let garlic mature Garlic typically takes between three and six months to mature, depending on the variety. You will know your garlic is mature when its flowers begin deteriorating and the top of the plant turns yellow. Tip When you purchase your garlic, note its name and search online or ask a gardening expert to find out how long that variety takes to mature. Step 6: Harvest the garlic Harvest the garlic when it's ready. You can begin as soon as you see shoots, which have plenty of flavor on their own, or you can wait until you see bulbs, or until the tops of the bulbs begin to dry. Use a fork or a pair of scissors to harvest the cloves so you don't damage the plant itself. Step 7: Hang the garlic To store the garlic, hang it in a dry, well-ventilated area. Did You Know? Bram Stoker popularized the use of garlic to repel vampires in his 1897 novel "Dracula."

1st the narrator states "You'll have mature garlic in a couple of months." Then later in the video he states "Garlic typically takes 3-6 months." Get your story straight, buddy...

it's a true superfood, full of antioxidants, capable of killing yeasts like candida, and bad bacteria. it even fights inflammation which may guard against cancer, and improves heart disease, by lowering bad cholesterol levels. -
its silly to grow garlic indoors it takes too long to grow and is not a pretty plant plus you won't get enough from it to make up for the space it takes in your house for 6 months my opinion if you don't have the space outdoors then don't grow garlic. grow instead things like scallions or herbs.

I love garlic so much! BTW, I sent you a private message and I'm wondering if you've seen it. Thanks!
-
Good alternative for small spaces inside!
-
6 months too grow? Lucky vampires..they won't die.wait for 6 months good luck! Lol
-
hmmm.... suss... pots outside are fine, but how about a bit of lime? incorrect advice re planting depth, no info about soil....VERY POOR
-
This guy has obviously never grown garlic. Absolutely would not work. You might get them to sprout but that would be about it.
-
Commentary is far too fast to understand. Crazy idea to grow garlic indoors, it is so easy to grow outside,
-
mmm kay... so I can have seasoning in as little as 2 weeks, and bulbs in 2 months, yet it takes 6 - 10 months to mature???? My math is bad, but it aint that bad.
