7. Happy for your seedlings!

I did leeks once from seed. Tedious affair but I succeeded! Had to transplant around four times before putting out in the ground. Starting as around 40 “hairs”.

I would buy a stalk to use and then just pop the bottom into a small vessel with water.
Change the water often until you have the roots developed pretty good then transplant to dirt and keep moist.

Right now I have 3 plants. One from a used stalk and two I experimented by using the whole stalk and it worked the same but sorta top heavy in most vessels except a vase.
So my 3 plants are thriving indoors with only north light because I live in an apartment building. On edit: my stalks looked like crap and yellowish vs greenish. After water they turn very green. It loves water!

Next, experiment will be to cut one of my living stalks and see if it rejuvenates!

Have fun fellow foodie gardener!
