Gather Materials
You will need a planter with a minimum of 6-inches wide and 6-inches deep. Terracotta and clay pots are ideal because they retain moisture very well and chives like moist soil, which is beneficial.
Planters
Chives grow best in rich, moist, neutral soil. Choose high-quality soil to avoid issues down the road; it can make all the difference in the growth rate of your chives.
Garden Soil
To grow chives, you can use seeds, a plant starter, or a cutting. While seeds take more time, they produce healthier plants and are a rewarding experience.
Seeds
Use a fine mist spray bottle to water your planter while seeds germinate. Mist soil once daily to keep it moist without over-saturating.
