Garlic Vine/Bellulli balli/Vellulli kodi/Lasun Lata Healthy Flower Plant

Growing Garlic Vine in a pot is quite easy. It’s a beautiful climber with purple flowers that smell like garlic when crushed.

1. Choose the Right Pot

• Use a large pot (12–16 inches deep) because it’s a climbing vine.
• Make sure the pot has good drainage holes.
• Clay or plastic pots both work.

2. Prepare the Soil Mix

Garlic vine likes well-drained, fertile soil.

Good potting mix:

• 40% garden soil
• 30% compost or vermicompost
• 20% cocopeat
• 10% sand

Optional: add a handful of neem cake powder to prevent pests.

3. Planting

You can grow it from cuttings or nursery plants.

Steps:

1. Fill the pot with prepared soil.
2. Plant the cutting or sapling about 2–3 inches deep.
3. Water gently after planting.

4. Sunlight

• Needs full sun to partial sun.
• Ideally 5–7 hours of sunlight daily.

Balcony, terrace, or sunny window works well.

5. Watering

• Keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy.
• Water 2–3 times a week depending on heat.
• In winter, water less.

6. Support for Climbing

Garlic vine is a climber, so provide:

• A trellis
• A bamboo stick
• Balcony railing

This helps it grow faster and bloom better.
