Care and maintenance
- Place the garlic cups in a well-lit place, but away from direct sunlight. Make sure the substrate stays slightly moist by watering regularly, but avoid excess water that could cause bulb rot.
- Spray a diluted natural fertilizer solution on garlic plants every two weeks to promote vigorous growth. Avoid chemical fertilizers that may alter the taste of garlic.
- Eliminate weeds that may compete with garlic plants by gently removing them from the substrate. Make sure you do not damage the roots of garlic plants during this operation.
