Once the garlic harvest is complete, the product must be provided with proper storage conditions.

Thanks to this, you will be able to pamper yourself with garlic throughout the cold season.

What rules are important to remember?

Temperature indicators

In order for garlic to be able to lie all winter even in an apartment, it is necessary to provide suitable temperature conditions. For example, spring garlic prefers from plus 16 to plus 20 degrees. It is easy to provide these indicators even in an apartment.

But winter garlic requires a lower temperature - a comfortable temperature is plus three degrees.

Humidity indicators

Garlic is best stored in rooms where the humidity level does not exceed 60%. The place should be dry. It is also worth choosing places that are not exposed to direct sunlight.
