Can we plant leeks in leap February?

You can't plant leeks in leap February, because leap February is not conducive to the germination of leeks.

There is a saying in the countryside that leeks are not planted in leap months, but it hurts the population. In fact, this is just a superstitious statement.

But because the weather temperature in leap February is already very high, we can't grow leeks. First, it is not conducive to the germination of leeks. Second, because the temperature is too high, you have to improve the germination rate of leeks, which wastes a sum of cost.

Leek is a perennial plant, which can be planted in three seasons except winter. However, due to the relatively high temperature, the growth of planted leeks will be affected to some extent. If you want to plant leeks, you'd better choose to plant them in spring. You can plant them in April and May in the north, and friends in the south can plant them earlier.

Planting method of leek:

1, prepare leek root: leek can be planted directly with seeds, but it germinates slowly after planting. If you don't have enough patience, you can plant leek roots, buy them yourself or ask others for some.

2, prepare pot soil: prepare a flowerpot, the depth should be more than 20 cm, because the root system of leek is relatively developed. It doesn't need much soil, just garden soil.

3. Potting: When planting, put the roots directly into the flowerpot and bury the soil. Pay attention to leaving a small number of stems outside.

4. Water enough: After planting, water should be poured once in time, so that the roots and soil can drink enough water and grow quickly. If it grows faster in the later stage, it can be transplanted in pieces.
