When to Harvest

Flowers should be pinched off to encourage leaf growth.

The more often you prune them, the weaker and thinner the stems will grow.

Add plant food to the water after every pruning, and let the plant ‘rest’ from time to time.

How to Freeze

1. Chop

Chop cleaned chives into small pieces.

2. Cube tray

Press pieces into an ice cube tray half-filled with water.

3. Freeze

Place the tray in your freezer. Can be kept for 4 to 6 months.
