Leek

Leeks are classified as the easiest to replant. You can even store it not in the refrigerator but by placing it in a pot filled with soil or a glass of water. In fact, this method of storage prevents the leeks from drying out quickly.

To replant it, you can take the green leaves and leave the top three finger joints with the roots. Then, put it in a glass filled with water or in a pot containing both soil and gel planting media.

Lettuce, mustard greens, and pok choy

When making a dish with these two vegetables, of course, the stubble is not included in your cooking. Instead of throwing it away, try to replant it. The trick is, puncture the four sides of the cob with a toothpick. Take a small bowl filled with water and place it in the top cross-section.

It doesn't take long for the leaves to grow. On the third day, the small leaves will start to bloom and you can cut them whenever you want to turn them into dishes.

Carrot

Although it requires cold temperatures so that the base of the carrot can grow. But there's nothing wrong with trying to grow it back. How to? Now, when cutting carrots, leave half the knuckle at the oldest or the base.

The next way, do the replanting as in lettuce and Pok Choy. Carrots will take a long time to grow.

Chives

The chives are similar in shape to leeks but smaller in size. Usually used for topping chicken noodles or tofu-ketupat mixture. How to plant it is the same as replanting the base of the leek. Well, after growing, the leaves can be moved to the ground to make them thicker.

Onion

When cooking with the onion, slice it and leave the middle portion that is deepest. Because this part can be replanted. If planting them directly in the ground, you need to water them regularly, as the onions need enough water to grow.

Once the leaves begin to grow lengthwise, they need to be cut so that the tubers grow in layers and enlarge.

Mint leaves

Even though they are not classified as a vegetable, the mint stems you often buy at the supermarket can be replanted. Select the part of the stem that is the oldest and sink it into the soil in a small pot. Then place it in a place that is exposed to the sun but cool and needs to be watered periodically.

Sweet potato

Sweet potato leaves can be cooked into tamarind, clear vegetables, or vegetables in pecel rice. When buying sweet potatoes, leave the roots behind and cut them off. The middle part can be processed according to taste.

Well, the base can be replanted with soil media and the vegetables are used for daily cooking purposes.

Potato

Potatoes are most often left in the corner of the kitchen and will grow. If the potatoes are old and are not going to cook, you can cut off the sides and plant them in the ground. When planting, place the eye of the potato on top so it will grow easily later.
