Should scallions be pulled up by the roots?
This article introduces the question of whether scallions should be pulled up by the roots, as well as some knowledge about the picking method of scallions and the maintenance method after picking. Next, the editor will introduce it.
Scallions can be pulled up by the roots directly, or cut along the ground, or only the leaves can be picked, at least leaving 3 scallion leaves. Just cut the leaves at the bottom of the scallion from the base. The maintenance methods after picking scallions are as follows:
Watering: Keep the soil moist by watering it, and avoid waterlogging.
Sunlight: Ensure sufficient sunlight, but avoid strong sunlight after picking scallions.
Soil Preparation: After picking the leaves, you can add some soil appropriately, and do not expose too much of the scallion roots to the air.
I. The correct way to pick scallions
There is not just one way to pick scallions. If the scallions are planted closely, they can be pulled up by the roots, which can also thin the plants. When picking scallions, prepare a clean pair of scissors and cut the scallions along the ground. When cutting, start from the dense parts. After picking, scallions grow quickly, and new parts can grow in about a week. If you only want to eat the scallion leaves, you can use scissors or your hands, leaving at least 3 leaves and cutting the old leaves from the base. It is important not to leave too long of a scallion tube and to cut off all the leaves.
II. Maintenance methods after picking scallions
Watering: After picking scallions, water according to the dryness of the soil, keeping it slightly moist. When watering, you can choose river or well water, which should not be polluted. After selecting the water, slowly pour it into the soil. Be careful not to let water accumulate in the soil, especially after picking leaves, as excessive watering can easily lead to rot.
Sunlight: During the growth of scallions, they should be exposed to sunlight appropriately and can be exposed to full sunlight to promote better photosynthesis. After picking, be careful that the intensity of the sunlight is not too strong to avoid burning the leaves, which could lead to dry leaves.
Soil Preparation: When picking scallions, if only the leaves are cut, you need to add soil according to the growth of the scallions. When adding soil, just bury the lower part of the scallion. However, it is not necessary to do this after every picking. Only do it when most of the planted scallions need it.
