What Customers Say

Why Chives Need Specialized Nutrients

These graceful greens revel in a diet packed with essential elements: nitrogen for their verdant foliage, phosphorus for robust root systems, and potassium for an all-around vitality boost.

Watering

Maintain a steady moisture level in the soil, ensuring it's not too soggy to prevent dreaded root rot.

Light

Chives thrive in sunlight but appreciate a bit of shade, too.

Soil

Opt for nutrient-rich soil that drains well, and don't forget to sprinkle in some organic goodness for that extra nourishment.

Additional Tips

A layer of mulch will help retain moisture and keep weeds at bay.
