Hydroponics of carrot calyx

material

・ Carrots, small plates, water

Method

1. 1. Cut the carrot calyx to a thickness of about 1.5 cm.


2. Put water in a small plate. It is OK if the depth is about several mm.


3. 3. Gently insert the cut-off carrot calyx.


Four. Place it indoors in a sunny place.


5. Renew the water in the small plate once a day. If the carrot cross section or small plate is slimy, gently wash it off. Depending on the temperature, water tends to run out, so it is safe to check frequently.


I haven't seen any changes for about 3 days since I started hydroponics, and I'm worried about "Is it okay?", But after about 4 days, "sprouts" appeared. In the meantime, beautiful yellow-green leaves and stems grow steadily.









The carrot calyx that I started growing in March is in great shape, and one month later it grows to a length of 20 cm or more. Unlike potted plants that are placed on the balcony or in the garden, they are placed in the kitchen, so we are constantly watching the situation, asking "Is there enough water?" And "Is it withered?" Many people recommend putting foliage plants in your house, but seeing the lively greens certainly makes you feel at ease.


Now, the question is, "What should I do with this bushy carrot leaf at the end?" If you can grow a lot and harvest a lot, you can use it for aemono, soup, and stir-fry. If you cut off the calyx for a long time, white roots are likely to come out, so it may be a potted plant.

Also, if you are a person who makes sweets by hand, it is recommended to use it as a color instead of the standard mint and chervil. By tearing it into small pieces and adding it to jelly or bavarois, it will add a sharp look. With carrot connection, it is perfect for decorating carrot cake.


Hydroponics of carrot calyx that you can enjoy the feeling of a vegetable garden with zero money. Make sure you have a suitable small plate and a sunny place to give it a try.
