Does garlic make a good indoor plant?

I have been growing some garlic indoors in 6 inch pots. So far it's growing great, but will it ever outgrow it's pot and need to be transplanted outside? By the way, it's just the kind of garlic that you buy at the grocery store that I started growing.

"A windowsill with southern exposure is often all you need to grow herbs indoors. Most herbs require at least 6 hours of direct sunlight and it doesn't hurt to put them under a grow light."


And, according to this site, your 6" pot may be a little on the small side.

However, it can be done (simply by buying the clove at the store, as you did...) and don't forget that the stalks, when fairly young, make great seasonings as well.





Happy Gardening!
Reply:There are two types: Hardneck and softneck, the latter being easily braided and usually the ones sold at the supermarket. Best to plant the right type for your area.





Gardening lore would have you planting on the day of the fall equinox and harvesting on the longest day of the year. The plants start changing dramatically at or around that time, sending up spires that ultimately will produce flowers and seeds at the top, drawing energy and nutrients from the garlic. At this point there is no further growth and nothing to be gained by keeping it in the ground.
Reply:Yeah, I heard that Witches are afraid of garlics! Best protection for homes.
Reply:I doubt it will ever outgrow the pot, but I have a yard full of garlic. It spreads like crazy if planted outside. The best time to dig it up is in the fall when half of the green turns brown.
Reply:Garlic is easy to grow and you can gow it in pots or outdoors. But why just eat the bulbs? The green shoots are delicious in a stir-fry!
