How garlic reproduce?

* Bulbs: Garlic plants produce a single bulb that is actually a collection of smaller bulbs called cloves. Each clove has the potential to grow into a new plant.

* Planting: Gardeners typically plant individual cloves, rather than the entire bulb.

* Root and shoot development: When planted, the clove sends down roots and sprouts a shoot, eventually forming new leaves and a new bulb.

* Bulb development: Over time, the new bulb develops with multiple cloves inside.

* Harvest and cycle continues: Garlic is typically harvested after the leaves die back, usually in late summer or early fall. The harvested bulb is then divided into cloves, and the cycle starts again.

Key Points:

* No seeds: Garlic does not produce seeds for reproduction.

* Clones: Garlic plants grown from cloves are essentially clones of the parent plant.

* Benefits of vegetative propagation: This method allows gardeners to maintain specific traits and characteristics of a garlic variety.

Interestingly, although garlic can reproduce through cloves, it does occasionally produce flowers. However, the flowers rarely develop into seeds.
