Choosing the right variety according to personal needs is the first step to successful planting. Preparing planting tools and materials 1. Flowerpot: Choose a flowerpot with good breathability and good drainage. The size depends on the growth needs of broccoli.
2. Nutrient soil: Select nutritious soil suitable for vegetable growth, such as peat soil, perlite, etc.

Ventilation: Keep indoor air circulation conducive to the growth of broccoli.
Fertilization: In the process of broccoli growth, apply fertilizer every 10 days or so to promote its growth.
