How to Sow Onion Seeds
Choose a pot, grow bag or garden bed with good drainage and fill it with fertile, loose and well-draining soil. Sow the seeds approximately 0.5-1 cm deep and cover them lightly with soil. Water gently and keep the soil consistently moist until germination. Choose a clean, well-draining growing space and keep the growing medium evenly moist during early growth.
Germination
Onion generally germinates or sprouts within 7-14 days under suitable growing conditions.
For better germination:
· Use fresh, well-draining growing medium.
· Keep moisture consistent without waterlogging.
· Provide suitable warmth and light for the crop.
· Avoid disturbing newly sown seeds.
Growing & Care
☀️Sunlight
Provide around 6-8 hours of good sunlight, depending on the variety and local growing conditions.
💧Watering
Keep soil evenly moist during early growth and reduce watering as bulbs mature.
🌱Soil
Use fertile, loose and well-draining soil. Mixing suitable organic compost can support healthy growth. Good drainage helps maintain suitable growing conditions for healthy plant growth.
🪴Spacing
Give plants enough room for healthy root development, sunlight and air circulation. Thin crowded seedlings where necessary.
When to Harvest?
Harvest when bulbs have developed and the foliage begins to yellow and bend over. Allow harvested bulbs to dry in a well-ventilated place before storage.
