Plant Care & Growing Tips

Successful cultivation of Music Garlic bulbs requires attention to a few key environmental factors. To ensure optimal growth and a bountiful harvest, understanding their specific needs for soil, water, and sunlight is crucial. Garlic thrives in a location that receives full sun, meaning at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight per day. This ensures strong bulb development and good flavor. When you grow garlic at home, choose a site with excellent drainage.

The ideal soil for Music Garlic bulbs is a loose, well-draining, and fertile loam. Before planting, amend your soil with compost or well-rotted manure to improve fertility and structure. Garlic prefers a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Keep the soil evenly moist during the active growth period in spring and early summer. However, as the bulbs begin to mature and the leaves start to yellow and die back, significantly reduce watering to prevent rot and encourage proper curing. For a truly robust garlic variety, consistent moisture during growth is key. Prefers temperatures between 55°F to 75°F and low to moderate humidity. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced organic fertilizer.
