Since I'm seeing this question about temperature pop up in the comments regularly, I thought I'd pin the answer 😀. There's no specific temperature in which you need to grow these. 🌱 What is important is that you grow them in the dark and water them enough. 💧
Hi! You can get them directly from a farmer who grows chicory, but they also sell them in farm supplies stores and nowadays they're even available in some garden centers and online as well.
I just discovered your video - thank you, it is a very enticing tutorial video. However, I have looked online for where in California to buy the chicory roots to plant, and apparently there is one single company that produces 100 of all endives in California, and the root is not available anywhere (can that be possible?) Do you know f a place to buy the root? Thanks.
Hi! Thank you for your kind comment, I'm glad you liked the video! Finding good quality roots for sale can definitely be tricky, especially in other countries. Your best bet is to find a farmer that grows chicory (not using hydroculture) and that will sell you the roots. Farmer supplies stores or garden centers can sometimes carry them too.
Thank you for this informative video. I just got chicory seeds as a gift, but idk how to grow it. I found your video and i love the way you explain it in a comfort way.
Yes! Well, once you've harvested your chicory that has grown from the root, you cut that off, a little higher than where the top of the root is and then it'll grow back over and over until the root can't produce any more. Do not cut the actual root though! Or did you mean the phase where you're first going to put your roots into the soil to grow chicory from them? You do it just how I've shown and explained it in this video.
Hi, great video.......can you please specify by season when to sow the seeds and when to plant the roots as i live in a different climate to yours? Our Spring begins in September. I thank you in advance.Keep up the great work.
Hi! I'm glad you like the video 😃. I never grew chicory from seeds, so I can't really give advice on the matter. If you buy seeds, they should come with instructions. I always get the roots and when to plant them is easy: as soon as the roots become available. The farmers have already let them rest before you buy them. You could still let them rest for 1 or 2 weeks after purchasing if you want to, but don't leave them too long. They really need to be planted soon after purchasing to get the best results.
@@CraftyRenate thanks for the great video! I grew some but they're much smaller than ones in video. Please advise where to buy, via mail order?? Thanks.
Hi! The chicory that is used as a coffee replacement is from the same plant family, but it's not this one. The specific name for the one you'd want to grow for that purpose is Cichorium intybus.
Is the root great for coffee substitute? Or was that the wild chicory? The wild one looks like a long twig, and has bluish whitish flowers. I'd love to grow for coffee substitute. But if this is no good and will make me sick. It may be my only option to go out an forage for wild chicory.
Hi there! Great question! No, it's kind of confusing. But there are quite a few root vegetables that are all called 'chicory ', but they're all just from the same family and not the same thing. In my language every one of them is called a different name, but in English they all seem to be referred to with the same name, maybe that's because they're not used as often there as they are here. The roots of the kind shown in the video (Chicory or Belgian endives. The Latin name is Cichorium intybus var. foliosum) is only eaten by horses and rabbits. The one you're looking for that can be used as substitute for coffee is also referred to as industrial chicory or wild chicory. The Latin name is Cichorium intybus var. sativum. I hope this helps! Same family, just a different type!
Hi, thank you. 😃 As I mentioned the seeds and roots are sold in farmer supplies stores, in some garden centers in the right season when you're supposed to grow them (so not all year round) and if you look online you should find them somewhere near where you live too. I used to buy the roots directly from a farmer but now they're sold in garden centers too. Good luck growing!
Hi! There are different types of plants that are all called 'chicory, because they're all related, but they grow different things. The chicory that is most commonly used for chicory coffee is Brunswick chicory, it grows purple flowers. The roots of the chicory shown in the video go bad after you've harvested the vegetables they grow a few times, they just rot. So I'm not sure. I would think you'd need to keep the roots dry to use them for chicory coffee and when you keep them dry they stop growing, which means what you're suggesting probably won't work. But I can't say for sure as I've never tried it.
Great video, thnx! I moved to Ireland from Belgium last year and haven't seen a single witloof root yet, I miss it a lot. My boyfriend is soon starting a home-grown indoor veggie-patch, and I immediately made him watch this. We enjoyed it and are inspired, thnx 😆😉.
Waaawww, that was such a cool video, I am from Belgium as well, and love gardening, but it never even crossed my mind to try to grow chikory at home.... Brilliant video! :)
You harvest the same root (without replanting, just leave it where it is) multiple times until it no longer grows decent crops. Then it's exhausted and you can compost it or get rid of it some other way.
Hi, I thank you and your dad for this exciting video, I do have one question, Are there any issues with mold or fungus I might have to be prepared for? Again, absolutely perfectly presented.
Hi! You're very welcome. As long as you don't over-water them, you shouldn't have any issues with mold, rotting etc. The soil should always be slightly wet to the touch.
Renate! Once again you excel and produce a first rate instructional video. What a fabulous method for growing chicory and with the handy dandy bottles of rum, vodka, and extra dry gin (helps those thirsty plants). Love the braid, you look marvelous!
+hanoho47 Thank you so much! Haha yes, the alcohol gives the vegetables some extra flavor! (just kidding, both the plants and myself just drink tap water) :D Happy weekend!
There are many different varieties in the chicory family. The only one I have experience with is this one I've shown in the video, which is the typical, Brussels ground chicory/endive
Hi! 😃 As I mentioned in the video the roots are sold in farmer supplies stores, in some garden centers (both only in the right season when you're supposed to grow them, so not all year round) and depending on where you live you may also find them somwhere online in a webshop that delivers to your area. Good luck growing!
You're very welcome! Good luck growing your own, it's so easy. Honestly, the hardest part can be finding the roots, depending on which country you're in.
Hi! You can buy the roots directly from a farmer that grows it and they're also sold in some farmer supplies stores and garden centers. Finding the roots can be a bit tricky, especially in countries where it's not often grown. I hope you'll find some so you can try it out too! 👍
@@CraftyRenate thanks a lot. English isn't my mother language. Basements in my country mostly have small windows. Therefor they are not very dark. I will cover the top and will see. Greatings from Germany
Always wanted to know how to grow chicory after living in France where it for sale everywhere ..... very hard to buy in Scotland !!! Where we are at present ....so will give this a try ...thank you. Although I must find where I can find the roots to plant.
gm.. :) just wanted to let you know im attempting to re-grow the carrot tops. dunno how good they'll do.. i dont get much light in my windows and its chilly there too but hey.. its worth a shot :)
I'm not sure what you mean by 'exile'? If you mean how many times you get crops from one root, that depends on the quality of your roots and the conditions (darkness, air, temperature, watering,...). Usually, I get at least 5 crops from 1 root, often more.
Can I grow them from seeds ? Also, the temperature in my city reaches 120°F and usually is above 90°F all year round woukd you suggest me to grow it here ?
Hi! Yes, you can grow them from seeds, but from what I've heard it's quite a lot of work and not the easiest thing to do. It's also a long process 😉. You then need to sow the seeds in full ground around the half of May. A thick root forms from the seed. Around half of October the leaves will start to show discolorations and die off. You then need to harvest the roots within a few weeks and let them rest in a cold, dark and dry area for at least a few days. After that you can place the roots in the ground again, whether that's indoors like I've shown or in your vegetable garden. This is the theory for growing chicory from seeds in our Belgian climate. I've never tried growing them from seeds myself. Since the climate where you live is so much warmer than ours, it's possible that things just progress much more quickly instead of the slow growth we get due to our colder climate. As long as you are able to grow good roots I don't think it matters too much though. Good luck if you try it and I'd love to know how it went! 😀
Also, thanks for your response to that hater. I saw it. 😉 Since I have a 'no haters' policy on my channel I removed her though (which is why your reply to what she wrote also disappeared).
@@CraftyRenate Thank you for your informative response. I'm a Covid-19 warrior and still on medications and trying to be close to nature through RUclips, I don't know if I would make it or not or if it would relapse, it's so rude for some people to post unwanted comments to just try to bring others down and boast about it as if it's a mighty thing. I stay in India and I am sure I'd not find roots here because it's a totally new vegetable for us. I can get the seeds though, but maintaining the temperature is a massive deal, irrespective of what it is , it's so nice to see that video of yours, it was so nice to see the Endive just come up at that setup. Inspired me that there's hope even in the darkness that it requires to grow, to give a ray of hope. Please, don't be offended by those haters, they are just spewing their inner hatred because of being unhappy within. My prayers for you, stay safe and keep me in your prayers.
@@CraftyRenate So if I replace the roots in the garden, they won't be in darkness. Is this OK? What happens if you harvest the top and just leave the roots in the ground ?
Hi there! The temperature doesn't matter much, the most important thing is that you keep them in the dark and that you water them enough. They're super easy to grow, you really can't make many mistakes 😀. Happy growing!
Hi Micah! I'm sorry you can't find anywhere to buy the roots. I know they can be difficult to find. I'm afraid I don't have a link as we buy them directly from a farmer. I get this question a lot, but unfortunately I can't really help with that as everyone who asks live in different countries and areas. So you'd all need a totally different supplier. If you can't find them in farm supplies stores, garden centers or online, try finding a chicory farmer that still grows his/her crops in soil. You should be able to buy roots directly from them.
Hi, as mentioned in the video, the roots need to be planted as quickly as possible once they've become available. Usually, that'll be in Oktober, but it can vary depending on the local weather and when the farmers will have them ready for you. It is possible to keep the roots for longer before planting them, but only if you can keep them very cool at a stable temperature of maximum 2°C.
I always thought this was the chicory used to make camp coffee, but now I know real chicory has leaves like dandelion, and tall blue flowers like delicate daisies.
+Gity Talbot Hi! Thank you for your comment :) As I mentioned in the video you can get them directly off a farmer who grows chicory, but they also sell them in farmers supplies stores, some garden centers and online. Good luck with growing your own chicory!
Great to see people trying to help each other out here! :-) But... I don't know where you got that information from as it is incorrect. The roots are grown from SEEDS in special soil. Then those roots grow leaves and need to be harvested. After that they need to be spread out in a specific way and rest for weeks. It's only after that that you can prepare the roots for growing the actual chicory/endive as shown in the video. So a harvested chicory crop (store bougth or not) can never grow a root. You need seeds to grow roots and roots to grow crops. I hope this helps!
I'm looking to grow some greens for my rabbits-lots of rabbits lol is this plant one that will grow all season? is it one i can keep harvesting from? assuming its one i can keep harvesting from, how long does it take for me to take from the plant again? looking for a couple fast growing healthy greens i can keep harvesting from for my buns, along with some purselane.. open for some low calcium fast growing suggestions :) ty
Hi! Yes, chicory is awesome to grow for your rabbits! It's the main reason I grow it too, because my bunnies devour it and it's nice to just go to the basement and cut some off instead of constantly running to the store to get more ;-) However, it's a winter plant and you can only grow it from the roots from October to January, February. Some farmers still have some on offer in March, but that's very rare. You also can't just save the roots until later in the year and plant them then. Once the roots are on offer they need to be planted as soon as possible to get the best result. (We've tried leaving them longer before planting to spread our harvests, but that didn't turn out well.) So no, you cannot grow it all year around. Except using hydroculture. But I think you may need a pretty professional setup to be able to grow chicory/endive using hydroculture. (And ground chicory has better flavor anyway) Other things you can grow for your bunnies are carrots (mainly for the greens, bunnies cannot eat too much carrot because of the high amount of sugar in it, but they LOVE the greens!), Swiss chard, watercress,... You can grow watercress all year around, but the other greens are seasonal as well. So I buy them at the grocery store or the local market when I can't grow them myself due to it being the wrong season. In summer you can also look in your garden for dandelions (I blow the seeds all over to get more every year haha) and ribwort. It's also worth planting a few willow trees, as they grow fast and the twigs are very healthy for your bunnies. It's great for their teeth too! I hope this helps. Hugs to your bunnies! (Can you tell I love bunnies? ;-) )
CraftyRenate yeah im lucky we have a willow tree and pear tree so i always offer them nice fresh pieces and thicker pieces for them to gnaw on. and its funny that you purposely blow dandelion puffs so they reseed for your buns, i do that too!!!! lol i had a huge spot where i was growing purselane last summer until it was basically all killed in 1 night by the wild bunnies. i also feed lots of plantain from the lawn. but with 9 rabbits and lots of litters. the yard gets picked over fast. it sucks i cant grow endive now. i guess ill have to remember to grow it next season. :)
It sounds like you put in a lot of effort for your bunniew too! I love it when people are dedicated to make their pets as happy as possible :-) Yes, next winter don't forget to find a chicory roots supplier. It is awesome to grow it, and if you give the bunnies a choice between store bought chicory and your home grown chicory, they choose the home grown every time. It's more flavorful.
CraftyRenate yes we sure do spoil our bunnies. we have some that live indoors and outdoors. but even our outside bunnies come in and get to play in the living room. and in the summer in the cool evenings we let them play in the puppy pens. we have 3 pens we hook up for them. they can run.. bink.. flop.. eat in the grass and clover, they love it!!!
Hi Charmaine! Thank you, I'm glad you like it 😃 You can buy the chicory roots directly from a chicory farmer, in a farm supply store or a garden center. They used to be very difficult to come by, but I've noticed garden centers have been offering them too these last few years, so that makes things a lot easier! And of course you could also check if you can find an online seller in your area.
Hi Renate, I have tryef to google where I can buy the roots online because I live overseas, no luck so far, are you able to give the directions or link for this?, thanks
jw5745 smith Hi! There's no specific temperature needed. What is important though, is that it's kept in the dark. A basement is ideal, but you can also just cover the containers with something that keeps out the light. (Make sure your crops still have room to grow.) I hope this helps!
Noe Berengena Hi! There are many different varieties in the chicory family. And they're all referred to as 'chicory'. (Though of course they do have different latin names) But depending on which variety of the family it is, different plants & vegetables grow out of them. The variety in my video grows (Belgian) endives.
+CraftyRenate -- Thank you for taking the time to answer. Now I am wondering where someone starts when they want to grow endives. Do you (can you) buy the root? Or do you buy seed? BTW: I am really fascinated with this ingenious method of getting a new crop with the plastic bin.
Đây là rau diếp xoăn, một loại rau mùa đông có vị hơi đắng. Bạn có thể chuẩn bị nó theo nhiều cách và nó cũng rất ngon. Tốt nhất là mua rễ rau diếp xoăn như trong video từ người trồng rau diếp xoăn hoặc cửa hàng làm vườn, bởi vì trồng rau diếp xoăn từ hạt không dễ và bạn không thể làm điều đó trong nhà như với rễ. Tôi đã sử dụng Google dịch để trả lời bạn, vì vậy hy vọng bạn hiểu những gì tôi đang viết.
Bedankt! ik heb net een hoop van die wortels gekregen en heb totaal geen groene vingers, wist dus echt niet wat ik ermee moest doen maar jouw video is heel duidelijk, danjewel :) ohja, kan je er maar 1 keer een witloof afhalen of blijven die keer op keer aangroeien?
Annelies Verhoeven Graag gedaan! Blij dat het duidelijk is 😊. Elke keer je witloof afsnijdt groeit er nieuw. Op een bepaald moment merk je vanzelf dat de wortels uitgeput zijn, maar je kan heel wat keren oogsten van één wortel. 😉 Je moet ze wel planten als ze vers zijn. Wortels die al weken of maanden liggen zijn zullen nauwelijks of geen opbrengst meer geven. Veel succes!
Hi! I did explain the growing process before the roots are harvested. I've never grown any from seeds myself, just from roots. So I can't really advise you on that.
so i finished the video. this is definitely one i will be growing for my bunnies :) couple questions tho. where can i buy these roots? and once the root has given as many plants as it can. does that mean i have to buy new roots or can i take it all apart, trim and replant? is there any other plants that grow like this in a basement? id really like to be able to offer my buns more fresh foods vs pellets. im sure you're a busy person but im really hoping you can take the time to help me. thumbs up and subscribed :)
Hi again! As I said in the video, you can get the roots directly from chicory farmers or at some farmers stores or garden centers. They have always been rather difficult to find, but more and more garden centers are offering them now as well. If you can buy them directly from a farmer, that's cheaper and they'll be more fresh. Once the roots are done giving decent crops, that's it. They're exhausted and you cannot revive them ;) You can feed the roots to horses (they say bunnies like them too, but I have not risked that with my bunnies as I'm not sure the information is correct and I would not want to upset their delicate digestive system. So I wouldn't advise doing this.) I do not know of any other bunny safe vegetables you can grow in a basement, unfortunately. But, if I do ever find some I'll be sure to let you know! Pellets are not very important for bunnies to eat. Their main source of food should be lots and lots of good quality hay and an assortement of fresh vegetables and some herbs daily. :) One silly thing I also do sometimes (but it takes up space and I think they need light, though you could try it in your basement I guess) is to buy carrots with greens for the bunnies and then just cut the carrot tops off, leaving about half a cm of the green, placing those carrot tops in a tray of water and then the greens will grow again. :) It takes a while though, so it's not like you won't still have to buy carrot greens all the time (mine eat a lot of them daily!), but it's still kinda fun to grow them as an extra treat to give them.
CraftyRenate wow thats cool to know about regrowing carrot tops. i might have to try that. i dont have much else to do in the winter anyway lol and yes i am well aware about the sugars in carrots. when people come get a bunny from me, thats one of the biggest things i stress to them. very small amounts of carrot or fruit.. NO yogurt drops. hay 24/7. and when introducing greens with such young bunnies to go very slow and 1 type of green at a time :) feel free to check my videos, lots of cute bunny vids :)
Yes, it's pretty funny that you can regrow the greens like that. Oh, do you have a shelter? Yeah, it's such a misconception that bunnies should get carrots all the time. Sure, they love it, but some people really need to educate themselves much more before adopting a bunny. Oh, cool, I will have a look at your channel! By the way, if you're interested, I have a video on baking healthy cookies for the bunnies. They love them and - unlike the store bought treats - they're safe. :) Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/ENWOGN_uC7s/видео.html
CraftyRenate i have made bunny treats too. one was apple and one was banana. so some they were like crack.. and some were less than impressed lol. it was fun and it was something my young daughter loved to help with. we even used her playdoh cookie cutters lol they were small and cute shapes. i started watching your video this morning then life happened lol aka i got busy. im gonna go watch it right now:)
You used to only be able to get them directly from a farmer who grows chicory, but they also sell them in farmers supplies stores and nowadays they're available in some garden centers and online as well. Good luck with growing your own chicory! It really is fun to do and you get so many crops from just a few roots.
Hi! It's a Belgian vegetable that can be eaten in many ways (raw, stewed, in the oven, ...) . It has a bitter taste, but bitter in a good way. ☺ I like growing it myself as it's fun to do and both myself and my bunnies love eating it. 😉 (and yes, I'm Belgian myself)
Hi Jolanda! I'm glad you like the video. As for your remark: If you are concerned about this and you want to use a glass container (heavy when filled, not easy to move, breakable,...) or something instead, you can of course. But we personally consider plastic to be the best choice when it comes to the practicality of growing these and we're not worried about it at all. Most of the vegetables and fruits we buy at the grocery store are way less healthy. (Air, soil and water pollution, chemicals used on them etc. ) It's completely your own choice what you'd like to use.
Tôi cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều về sự chia sẻ của bạn mình rất muốn dược trồng loại rau diếp ấy nhưng mà mình ở việt nam thì mình phải làm sao dể mua dược giống rau nầy rất mong dược sự tư vấn và sự giúp đỡ của bạn xin thành thật cảm ơn bạn
Xin chào, tất nhiên tôi không thể trả lời điều đó, vì tôi sống ở Bỉ. Nhưng nếu bạn không tìm thấy nó trong các cửa hàng làm vườn ở Việt Nam, thì có lẽ bạn có thể tìm kiếm trực tuyến cho đến khi bạn tìm thấy một cửa hàng web có thể gửi nó cho bạn. Chúc may mắn!
It sure is! I'm constantly harvesting already 😃. (but it's not too late to plant them, I was early this year!) Yeah, I wish I could help you with where you can find the roots in other countries. I've searched online too, but so far I've only found the seeds. Obviously the roots are a bit easier to find in Belgium as they're typically belgian.
Lol. 😉 I'm not sure if you're kidding, but you could grow lettuce indoors. The way you'd need to go about it would be very different though and so are the requirements. It's not the right season either. We do grow our lettuce at home, by the way. Just not indoors and definitely not in winter! Haha.😄
I know. I was just wondering what kind of lettuce would grow if we cut the roots like Endive, and grow it out of season in the dark. It could fail, and could succeed. one should try to be able to say anything about it. I am thinking of growing Gundelia (Gundelia tournefortii) the same way to see what will happen.
I cut some of the romaine above the growing point, like she does w/ the chicory. they develop one round of new growth, usually loosely bunched leaves that do not form another head or grow full size, but are nice anyway. but - all this is outdoors, so might not apply to indoor forcing. just a thought.
Really odd taste? I ate some chicory for the first time, and within hours my skin was smooth and silky, really strange? plus it makes you feel slim and full, really?no bloat. This is what I would call A real superfood, no hype.
Hi! 🙂 So interesting that you've only just discovered chicory! I'm glad to hear you like it. I've grown up with it as it's a vegetable that originates from my country 😉. Chicory has a bitter taste and there are many ways to cook it, but people who aren't used to eat it may need some time to get used to and learn to love the flavor. 😊 I haven't really experienced/noticed those benefits you're mentioning to be honest, but as I said, I grew up with it, so maybe if you eat it all the time you don't notice. I'm glad to hear you're a fan.
well the carrot tops are growing really good. i was about to go buy a bunch more carrots so i can start more n have some free greens for them.. but i learned they are high in calcium-dammit lol

Hi, thank you. 😃 As I mentioned the seeds and roots are sold in farmer supplies stores, in some garden centers in the right season when you're supposed to grow them (so not all year round) and if you look online you should find them somewhere near where you live too.

I am looking a way to grow chicory root to make chicory coffee. Can I regrow the root by cut like 3/4 of the root？ thanks
Hi! There are different types of plants that are all called 'chicory, because they're all related, but they grow different things. The chicory that is most commonly used for chicory coffee is Brunswick chicory, it grows purple flowers. The roots of the chicory shown in the video go bad after you've harvested the vegetables they grow a few times, they just rot. So I'm not sure. I would think you'd need to keep the roots dry to use them for chicory coffee and when you keep them dry they stop growing, which means what you're suggesting probably won't work. But I can't say for sure as I've never tried it.
@@CraftyRenate The one in the video,Would the root regrow if you cut it in half？
Great video, thnx!
I moved to Ireland from Belgium last year and haven't seen a single witloof root yet, I miss it a lot. My boyfriend is soon starting a home-grown indoor veggie-patch, and I immediately made him watch this. We enjoyed it and are inspired, thnx 😆😉.
I'm so glad this video was helpful! 😃 It's really fun to do and you get so many crops from a few roots, so I hope you give it a go. 👍
Thank God I can get Witloof here in Super Valu…but of course without a root. ( also came from Belgium to Ireland long time ago)
Can I grow this from the seeds in the tropics?
Since we have a colder climate here, I can't say for sure. You can always try!
Waaawww, that was such a cool video, I am from Belgium as well, and love gardening, but it never even crossed my mind to try to grow chikory at home.... Brilliant video! :)
I'm SO happy to hear that! 😊 I hope you're gonna give it a try, it's a lot of fun to do and you get so many crops out of it. 🙂
After harvesting, do you replant the root or do you throw it away?
You harvest the same root (without replanting, just leave it where it is) multiple times until it no longer grows decent crops. Then it's exhausted and you can compost it or get rid of it some other way.
Wow. Nice informative video.
Thank you! I'm glad it was helpful 😃
Hi, I thank you and your dad for this exciting video, I do have one question, Are there any issues with mold or fungus I might have to be prepared for? Again, absolutely perfectly presented.
Hi! You're very welcome. As long as you don't over-water them, you shouldn't have any issues with mold, rotting etc. The soil should always be slightly wet to the touch.
Thank you Ms. Renate. Happy New Year.
Basement in the winter for this?
Yes! 👍
I really appreciated your how-to on growing Endive. I feel as if I can really do it now.
+Wildberry2844 Thank you and you're very welcome! Have fun growing your own!
Renate! Once again you excel and produce a first rate instructional video. What a fabulous method for growing chicory and with the handy dandy bottles of rum, vodka, and extra dry gin (helps those thirsty plants). Love the braid, you look marvelous!
+hanoho47 Thank you so much! Haha yes, the alcohol gives the vegetables some extra flavor! (just kidding, both the plants and myself just drink tap water) :D Happy weekend!
Does this work with the wil chicory with the blue flowers?
There are many different varieties in the chicory family. The only one I have experience with is this one I've shown in the video, which is the typical, Brussels ground chicory/endive
Thank you so so much! This was the must informative thing I've found of all!
This seems like a great plant
I'm so happy to hear you enjoyed the video and I'm sure you'll love growing your own chicory/endive! 😀
That is brilliant information..thanks
You're very welcome! 😃
Hi,
Would you kindly tell me where I can buy those roots?
Hi! 😃 As I mentioned in the video the roots are sold in farmer supplies stores, in some garden centers (both only in the right season when you're supposed to grow them, so not all year round) and depending on where you live you may also find them somwhere online in a webshop that delivers to your area. Good luck growing!
thank you for sharing. My husband loves endive but they are expensive here and usually pretty sad looking. this looks like something I can do! :)
You're very welcome! Good luck growing your own, it's so easy. Honestly, the hardest part can be finding the roots, depending on which country you're in.
@@CraftyRenate any idea on where to find roots? I am not having luck finding them? I’m in the US
after you have cut the crop does it regrow again?
Yes! Just like shown and explained in the video. 😉
Where I can endive?, l want try to plant in my house.
Hi! You can buy the roots directly from a farmer that grows it and they're also sold in some farmer supplies stores and garden centers. Finding the roots can be a bit tricky, especially in countries where it's not often grown. I hope you'll find some so you can try it out too! 👍
How do you use this for coffee like French market coffee.
@@hudson8865 You don't. This is a vegetable you eat. The chicory you're talking about is a plant from the same family, but it's not the same plant.
Great video!
Thanks so much!! 😃
You didn't cover the roots to protect them from lights? Thks
Hi! You mean that I didn't cover the top? No, because as I mentioned you need to keep it in the dark. A (produce) basement is ideal.
@@CraftyRenate thanks a lot. English isn't my mother language. Basements in my country mostly have small windows. Therefor they are not very dark. I will cover the top and will see. Greatings from Germany
Does it have to be dark, or can it be light?
Always wanted to know how to grow chicory after living in France where it for sale everywhere .....
very hard to buy in Scotland !!! Where we are at present ....so will give this a try ...thank you. Although I must find where I can find the roots to plant.
Good luck! It's fun to see grow and it's so much more delicious and flavorful than the store bought kind. 😃
gm.. :) just wanted to let you know im attempting to re-grow the carrot tops. dunno how good they'll do.. i dont get much light in my windows and its chilly there too but hey.. its worth a shot :)
talkingalwayz Good luck!
How many times does he exile?
I'm not sure what you mean by 'exile'? If you mean how many times you get crops from one root, that depends on the quality of your roots and the conditions (darkness, air, temperature, watering,...). Usually, I get at least 5 crops from 1 root, often more.
@@CraftyRenate Thanks, do you think we can get a crop in 10 degrees dark room?
Can I grow them from seeds ? Also, the temperature in my city reaches 120°F and usually is above 90°F all year round woukd you suggest me to grow it here ?
Hi! Yes, you can grow them from seeds, but from what I've heard it's quite a lot of work and not the easiest thing to do. It's also a long process 😉. You then need to sow the seeds in full ground around the half of May. A thick root forms from the seed. Around half of October the leaves will start to show discolorations and die off. You then need to harvest the roots within a few weeks and let them rest in a cold, dark and dry area for at least a few days. After that you can place the roots in the ground again, whether that's indoors like I've shown or in your vegetable garden. This is the theory for growing chicory from seeds in our Belgian climate. I've never tried growing them from seeds myself. Since the climate where you live is so much warmer than ours, it's possible that things just progress much more quickly instead of the slow growth we get due to our colder climate. As long as you are able to grow good roots I don't think it matters too much though. Good luck if you try it and I'd love to know how it went! 😀
Also, thanks for your response to that hater. I saw it. 😉 Since I have a 'no haters' policy on my channel I removed her though (which is why your reply to what she wrote also disappeared).
@@CraftyRenate Thank you for your informative response.
I'm a Covid-19 warrior and still on medications and trying to be close to nature through RUclips, I don't know if I would make it or not or if it would relapse, it's so rude for some people to post unwanted comments to just try to bring others down and boast about it as if it's a mighty thing.
I stay in India and I am sure I'd not find roots here because it's a totally new vegetable for us.
I can get the seeds though, but maintaining the temperature is a massive deal, irrespective of what it is , it's so nice to see that video of yours, it was so nice to see the Endive just come up at that setup.
Inspired me that there's hope even in the darkness that it requires to grow, to give a ray of hope.
Please, don't be offended by those haters, they are just spewing their inner hatred because of being unhappy within.
My prayers for you, stay safe and keep me in your prayers.
@@CraftyRenate So if I replace the roots in the garden, they won't be in darkness. Is this OK?
What happens if you harvest the top and just leave the roots in the ground ?
What's the ideal temperature for them? (sorry if it's been answered in the video and I just missed it).
Hi there! The temperature doesn't matter much, the most important thing is that you keep them in the dark and that you water them enough. They're super easy to grow, you really can't make many mistakes 😀. Happy growing!
Thanks for sharing. Have nó knowledge about
You're very welcome! 😊
hi! i cannot find anywhere to buy chicory root. i hope i can buy the root and not have to go through growing my own. do you have a link we could use?
Hi Micah! I'm sorry you can't find anywhere to buy the roots. I know they can be difficult to find. I'm afraid I don't have a link as we buy them directly from a farmer. I get this question a lot, but unfortunately I can't really help with that as everyone who asks live in different countries and areas. So you'd all need a totally different supplier. If you can't find them in farm supplies stores, garden centers or online, try finding a chicory farmer that still grows his/her crops in soil. You should be able to buy roots directly from them.
@@CraftyRenate thank you!!
Blessings to your
You
Thank you! Have a lovely weekend.
this works in all seasons?
Hi, as mentioned in the video, the roots need to be planted as quickly as possible once they've become available. Usually, that'll be in Oktober, but it can vary depending on the local weather and when the farmers will have them ready for you. It is possible to keep the roots for longer before planting them, but only if you can keep them very cool at a stable temperature of maximum 2°C.
@@CraftyRenate and how long does this chicory factory last? Like many years or one year?
I always thought this was the chicory used to make camp coffee, but now I know real chicory has leaves like dandelion, and tall blue flowers like delicate daisies.
True! It's from the same plant family, but it's not the same plant.
Its white because it is grown without sunlight. If you would grow these roots in sunlight it would turn green and have flowers
@@CraftyRenate its kinda the same plant or atmeast it comes from the same plant it was just changed by selective growing
I loved it! Thanks.
You're very welcome! I hope you decided to give it a go, it's so fun. (And yummy) 😃
Love you my Darling Chicory.
Where I can get the chicory
Hi! You can find the roots at farmer supplies stores, garden centers or directly from chicory farmers.
No day or night passes away without heaven drops fall on the chicory plants.....Sayings in Islam
What a beautiful saying! 😀
@@CraftyRenate thanks
thank you very good where can i get the roots?
+Gity Talbot Hi! Thank you for your comment :) As I mentioned in the video you can get them directly off a farmer who grows chicory, but they also sell them in farmers supplies stores, some garden centers and online. Good luck with growing your own chicory!
if you can find some belgian endive at the store, you should be able to get it to re-root if you replant it
Great to see people trying to help each other out here! :-) But... I don't know where you got that information from as it is incorrect. The roots are grown from SEEDS in special soil. Then those roots grow leaves and need to be harvested. After that they need to be spread out in a specific way and rest for weeks. It's only after that that you can prepare the roots for growing the actual chicory/endive as shown in the video. So a harvested chicory crop (store bougth or not) can never grow a root. You need seeds to grow roots and roots to grow crops. I hope this helps!
I am not able to find and buy those chicory roots.Can you direct me to a specific store or can I buy from you.Thank you and I really need help here.
I'm looking to grow some greens for my rabbits-lots of rabbits lol is this plant one that will grow all season? is it one i can keep harvesting from? assuming its one i can keep harvesting from, how long does it take for me to take from the plant again? looking for a couple fast growing healthy greens i can keep harvesting from for my buns, along with some purselane.. open for some low calcium fast growing suggestions :) ty
Hi! Yes, chicory is awesome to grow for your rabbits! It's the main reason I grow it too, because my bunnies devour
it and it's nice to just go to the basement and cut some off instead of constantly running to the store to get
more ;-) However, it's a winter plant and you can only grow it from the roots from October to January, February.
Some farmers still have some on offer in March, but that's very rare. You also can't just save the roots until
later in the year and plant them then. Once the roots are on offer they need to be planted as soon as possible
to get the best result. (We've tried leaving them longer before planting to spread our harvests, but that didn't
turn out well.) So no, you cannot grow it all year around. Except using hydroculture. But I think you may need
a pretty professional setup to be able to grow chicory/endive using hydroculture. (And ground chicory has better flavor anyway) Other things you can grow for your bunnies are carrots (mainly for the greens, bunnies cannot eat too much carrot because of the high amount of sugar in it, but they LOVE the greens!), Swiss chard, watercress,...
You can grow watercress all year around, but the other greens are seasonal as well. So I buy them at the
grocery store or the local market when I can't grow them myself due to it being the wrong season.
In summer you can also look in your garden for dandelions (I blow the seeds all over to get more every year haha)
and ribwort. It's also worth planting a few willow trees, as they grow fast and the twigs are
very healthy for your bunnies. It's great for their teeth too! I hope this helps. Hugs to your bunnies! (Can you tell I love bunnies? ;-) )
CraftyRenate yeah im lucky we have a willow tree and pear tree so i always offer them nice fresh pieces and thicker pieces for them to gnaw on. and its funny that you purposely blow dandelion puffs so they reseed for your buns, i do that too!!!! lol i had a huge spot where i was growing purselane last summer until it was basically all killed in 1 night by the wild bunnies. i also feed lots of plantain from the lawn. but with 9 rabbits and lots of litters. the yard gets picked over fast. it sucks i cant grow endive now. i guess ill have to remember to grow it next season. :)
It sounds like you put in a lot of effort for your bunniew too! I love it when people are dedicated to make their pets as happy as possible :-) Yes, next winter don't forget to find a chicory roots supplier. It is awesome to grow it, and if you give the bunnies a choice between store bought chicory and your home grown chicory, they choose the home grown every time. It's more flavorful.
CraftyRenate yes we sure do spoil our bunnies. we have some that live indoors and outdoors. but even our outside bunnies come in and get to play in the living room. and in the summer in the cool evenings we let them play in the puppy pens. we have 3 pens we hook up for them. they can run.. bink.. flop.. eat in the grass and clover, they love it!!!
Awesome video - thank you. Where can I buy the chicory roots?
Hi Charmaine! Thank you, I'm glad you like it 😃 You can buy the chicory roots directly from a chicory farmer, in a farm supply store or a garden center. They used to be very difficult to come by, but I've noticed garden centers have been offering them too these last few years, so that makes things a lot easier! And of course you could also check if you can find an online seller in your area.
Wonderful - thank you so much! I really appreciate your prompt reply also.
You're very welcome!
Hi Renate, I have tryef to google where I can buy the roots online because I live overseas, no luck so far, are you able to give the directions or link for this?, thanks
Great content! Thank you!
I'm so glad you liked it, thanks for letting me know! 😃
what is the best growing temperature range for this?
jw5745 smith Hi! There's no specific temperature needed. What is important though, is that it's kept in the dark. A basement is ideal, but you can also just cover the containers with something that keeps out the light. (Make sure your crops still have room to grow.) I hope this helps!
Wait a minute... other chicory videos show a woody stemmed plant that grows about 2 feet high with purple flowers. Are these the same plant?
Noe Berengena Hi! There are many different varieties in the chicory family. And they're all referred to as 'chicory'. (Though of course they do have different latin names) But depending on which variety of the family it is, different plants & vegetables grow out of them. The variety in my video grows (Belgian) endives.
+CraftyRenate -- Thank you for taking the time to answer. Now I am wondering where someone starts when they want to grow endives. Do you (can you) buy the root? Or do you buy seed?
BTW: I am really fascinated with this ingenious method of getting a new crop with the plastic bin.
Noe Berengena you're welcome! ☺ You buy the roots. It's all shown and explained in the video. 😉
Very interesting...such a talented lady! (BTW I absolutely LOVE your braid ♥)
+Bill M Thank you very much :-)
Por favor en español para que sepamos cómo se llama,pues pares en lechugas orejonas
Hi! In Spanish it's called blanco achicoria
Xin cho biết dó là cải gì a và tôi ở VN muốn mua giống thì phải tìm mua ở dâu ai biết được xin chỉ giùm cảm ơn
Đây là rau diếp xoăn, một loại rau mùa đông có vị hơi đắng. Bạn có thể chuẩn bị nó theo nhiều cách và nó cũng rất ngon. Tốt nhất là mua rễ rau diếp xoăn như trong video từ người trồng rau diếp xoăn hoặc cửa hàng làm vườn, bởi vì trồng rau diếp xoăn từ hạt không dễ và bạn không thể làm điều đó trong nhà như với rễ.
Tôi đã sử dụng Google dịch để trả lời bạn, vì vậy hy vọng bạn hiểu những gì tôi đang viết.
Bedankt! ik heb net een hoop van die wortels gekregen en heb totaal geen groene vingers, wist dus echt niet wat ik ermee moest doen maar jouw video is heel duidelijk, danjewel :) ohja, kan je er maar 1 keer een witloof afhalen of blijven die keer op keer aangroeien?
Annelies Verhoeven Graag gedaan! Blij dat het duidelijk is 😊. Elke keer je witloof afsnijdt groeit er nieuw. Op een bepaald moment merk je vanzelf dat de wortels uitgeput zijn, maar je kan heel wat keren oogsten van één wortel. 😉 Je moet ze wel planten als ze vers zijn. Wortels die al weken of maanden liggen zijn zullen nauwelijks of geen opbrengst meer geven. Veel succes!
please help explain how to seed grow
Hi! I did explain the growing process before the roots are harvested. I've never grown any from seeds myself, just from roots. So I can't really advise you on that.
so i finished the video. this is definitely one i will be growing for my bunnies :) couple questions tho. where can i buy these roots? and once the root has given as many plants as it can. does that mean i have to buy new roots or can i take it all apart, trim and replant? is there any other plants that grow like this in a basement? id really like to be able to offer my buns more fresh foods vs pellets. im sure you're a busy person but im really hoping you can take the time to help me. thumbs up and subscribed :)
Hi again! As I said in the video, you can get the roots directly from chicory farmers or at some farmers stores or garden centers. They have always been rather difficult to find, but more and more garden centers are offering them now as well. If you can buy them directly from a farmer, that's cheaper and they'll be more fresh. Once the roots are done giving decent crops, that's it. They're exhausted and you cannot revive them ;) You can feed the roots to horses (they say bunnies like them too, but I have not risked that with my bunnies as I'm not sure the information is correct and I would not want to upset their delicate digestive system. So I wouldn't advise doing this.) I do not know of any other bunny safe vegetables you can grow in a basement, unfortunately. But, if I do ever find some I'll be sure to let you know! Pellets are not very important for bunnies to eat. Their main source of food should be lots and lots of good quality hay and an assortement of fresh vegetables and some herbs daily. :) One silly thing I also do sometimes (but it takes up space and I think they need light, though you could try it in your basement I guess) is to buy carrots with greens for the bunnies and then just cut the carrot tops off, leaving about half a cm of the green, placing those carrot tops in a tray of water and then the greens will grow again. :) It takes a while though, so it's not like you won't still have to buy carrot greens all the time (mine eat a lot of them daily!), but it's still kinda fun to grow them as an extra treat to give them.
CraftyRenate wow thats cool to know about regrowing carrot tops. i might have to try that. i dont have much else to do in the winter anyway lol and yes i am well aware about the sugars in carrots. when people come get a bunny from me, thats one of the biggest things i stress to them. very small amounts of carrot or fruit.. NO yogurt drops. hay 24/7. and when introducing greens with such young bunnies to go very slow and 1 type of green at a time :) feel free to check my videos, lots of cute bunny vids :)
Yes, it's pretty funny that you can regrow the greens like that. Oh, do you have a shelter? Yeah, it's such a misconception that bunnies should get carrots all the time. Sure, they love it, but some people really need to educate themselves much more before adopting a bunny. Oh, cool, I will have a look at your channel! By the way, if you're interested, I have a video on baking healthy cookies for the bunnies. They love them and - unlike the store bought treats - they're safe. :) Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/ENWOGN_uC7s/видео.html
CraftyRenate i have made bunny treats too. one was apple and one was banana. so some they were like crack.. and some were less than impressed lol. it was fun and it was something my young daughter loved to help with. we even used her playdoh cookie cutters lol they were small and cute shapes. i started watching your video this morning then life happened lol aka i got busy. im gonna go watch it right now:)
Thank you for a great video x
You're very welcome! 😃
Where can i get Chicory Roots ?
You used to only be able to get them directly from a farmer who grows chicory, but they also sell them in farmers supplies stores and nowadays they're available in some garden centers and online as well. Good luck with growing your own chicory! It really is fun to do and you get so many crops from just a few roots.
Thanks
You're very welcome! 😃
But what about from seed?
I explained that too in the first part of the video?
Very useful video thanks
I'm so happy to hear you found it to be helpful! Thanks for letting me know and good luck with growing your own chicory! 😄
YOU are a Doll, thank you.
You're very welcome! 😃 I'm glad the video was helpful. 👍
What is that... I dont know it ?
Hi! It's a Belgian vegetable that can be eaten in many ways (raw, stewed, in the oven, ...) . It has a bitter taste, but bitter in a good way. ☺ I like growing it myself as it's fun to do and both myself and my bunnies love eating it. 😉 (and yes, I'm Belgian myself)
I want by it. I am from Việt Nam.
Great
Thank you!
Nice madam
Thank you, I'm glad you like the video! 😀
Excellent!!!!
Ingrid White 😀
Very nice project, but using plastic isn't food save. The chemicals from PVC will be absorbed by the plants. I see this mistake all over youtube.
Hi Jolanda! I'm glad you like the video. As for your remark: If you are concerned about this and you want to use a glass container (heavy when filled, not easy to move, breakable,...) or something instead, you can of course. But we personally consider plastic to be the best choice when it comes to the practicality of growing these and we're not worried about it at all. Most of the vegetables and fruits we buy at the grocery store are way less healthy. (Air, soil and water pollution, chemicals used on them etc. ) It's completely your own choice what you'd like to use.
U r a lovely girl. Put some more home grown endive videos
Tôi cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều về sự chia sẻ của bạn mình rất muốn dược trồng loại rau diếp ấy nhưng mà mình ở việt nam thì mình phải làm sao dể mua dược giống rau nầy rất mong dược sự tư vấn và sự giúp đỡ của bạn xin thành thật cảm ơn bạn
Xin chào, tất nhiên tôi không thể trả lời điều đó, vì tôi sống ở Bỉ. Nhưng nếu bạn không tìm thấy nó trong các cửa hàng làm vườn ở Việt Nam, thì có lẽ bạn có thể tìm kiếm trực tuyến cho đến khi bạn tìm thấy một cửa hàng web có thể gửi nó cho bạn. Chúc may mắn!
So tis the season lol if anyone knows a website that sells this please let me know :)
It sure is! I'm constantly harvesting already 😃. (but it's not too late to plant them, I was early this year!) Yeah, I wish I could help you with where you can find the roots in other countries. I've searched online too, but so far I've only found the seeds. Obviously the roots are a bit easier to find in Belgium as they're typically belgian.
CraftyRenate hmm wonder if the roots can be shipped to the US?
I have no idea. I'm not even sure if customs would allow something like that to go through. I doubt it.
Sehr gut, gefällt mir 👍
Danke! Ich bin froh, dass es dir gefällt. 😀
Why not grow Romaine lettuce this way at home? :-)
Lol. 😉 I'm not sure if you're kidding, but you could grow lettuce indoors. The way you'd need to go about it would be very different though and so are the requirements. It's not the right season either. We do grow our lettuce at home, by the way. Just not indoors and definitely not in winter! Haha.😄
I know. I was just wondering what kind of lettuce would grow if we cut the roots like Endive, and grow it out of season in the dark. It could fail, and could succeed. one should try to be able to say anything about it. I am thinking of growing Gundelia (Gundelia tournefortii) the same way to see what will happen.
I cut some of the romaine above the growing point, like she does w/ the chicory. they develop one round of new growth, usually loosely bunched leaves that do not form another head or grow full size, but are nice anyway. but - all this is outdoors, so might not apply to indoor forcing. just a thought.
Really odd taste? I ate some chicory for the first time, and within hours my skin was smooth and silky, really strange? plus it makes you feel slim and full, really?no bloat. This is what I would call A real superfood, no hype.
Hi! 🙂 So interesting that you've only just discovered chicory! I'm glad to hear you like it. I've grown up with it as it's a vegetable that originates from my country 😉. Chicory has a bitter taste and there are many ways to cook it, but people who aren't used to eat it may need some time to get used to and learn to love the flavor. 😊 I haven't really experienced/noticed those benefits you're mentioning to be honest, but as I said, I grew up with it, so maybe if you eat it all the time you don't notice. I'm glad to hear you're a fan.
well the carrot tops are growing really good. i was about to go buy a bunch more carrots so i can start more n have some free greens for them.. but i learned they are high in calcium-dammit lol
I'm glad they're working out for you! I give my bunnies carrot greens every day.
Cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều bạn thật là tốt xin chúc bạn thật nhiều hạnh phúc chắn thành cảm ơn bạn
