1.  preparation of pots and planting media (chives)

- drainage layer (optional) : To make drainage smooth, we can add a little gravel or broken roof tiles to the bottom of the pot before we add the planting medium.

- with seed seeds: if we use seeds in the initial stage, soak them in warm water (55°) for 2-6 hours so that it will speed up the growth of sprouts or roots.

- Using saplings : If you use chive saplings, choose ones with good cluster roots and be very careful when removing them, then make sure there are still roots in the saplings that we remove.

- Naming seeds : put the seeds or shoots into the pot that we have filled with planting media beforehand, then cover it again using soil media.

- watering : Water the pot that we have finished, watering functions to keep the soil moist and the seeds or shoots that we use can grow
