How To Grow Onions | SEED TO HARVEST

GROW ONIONS IN CONTAINERS | START TO FINISH
GROWING TIPS:
*Growing onions from seed is easy, and allows you to choose the exact varieties you want to grow
*keep the soil damp but not soggy, and provide at least 5-7 hours of direct sunlight per day for good germination.
*Onions are generally considered a ‘cool season crop’ because onion seedlings like to start their life when conditions are still cool. Then as the weather warms up, they switch to focus their energy on bulb formation. Therefore, monsoon season and winter early days is the best time to plant onions in most places.
*Onions grow most happily in moderately rich, well-draining soil. For that we will use a mix of 50% garden soil 30% compost and 20% river sand
*Onions are mature and ready to harvest once the main stalk gets weak, thin, and starts to flop over. The greens will also start to turn yellow or brown, especially at the tips

In addition to size and color, different onion varieties are further classified as either short-day, long-day, or day-neutral onions. They’re grouped by the number of daylight hours required to trigger good bulb formation.
Short-day onion varieties will form bulbs once daylight hours increase to 10 to 12 hours per day.
Long-day onions will form bulbs once they’re provided 14 hours of daylight or more.
Day-neutral or “intermediate day” onion varieties form bulbs with 12 to 14 hours of daylight.
You can plant onions almost any time of year (especially if growing for green onions), but your timing will impact the size of onions you harvest and when they are harvested. Onions will get the signal to form bulbs when the day length in your area is getting the correct number of daylight hours for the variety. In general, this is around:
10-12 daylight hours for short-day onions (for Southern latitudes)
12-14 daylight hours for intermediate-day varieties (in the middle)
14-16 daylight hours for long-day varieties (for Northern latitudes)

I'll really love it if you respond. Thank you sir. Keep it up!

Yes you can harvest leaves 1-2 times in the middle and after that let them grow so that they can provide energy to the bulbs

Hello urban gardener, thanks for all the help. I am curious though how long should my onions take from bending the stalk to harvest, and also should I continue to water during this? I live in NZ so we do have quite a hot climate in summer

[@urbangardeningofficial]

From bending to harvest will take 25-35 days ....water very less keep 4-6 days gap between watering as it will force the plant to swell up the bulb

@urbangardening plz tell the which size pot is good for onion

[@califordamax]

Any soil alternatives? Coz i haven't got other soil other than the usual generic gardening soil and no idea where to find other soil types

[@urbangardeningofficial]

Use normal gardening soil mix ....just add some river sand ( easily available in construction material shop ) it will make the soil mix soft..which will result in bigger onion 🧅

Hi sir, I am planting chilli that I got from my local indian store, and it has just geminated! I don't know if I should keep it under full sun because I don't know if it will get burnt. I let it under the sun after it germinated for about 30 mins, and the plant started reaching towards the sun. I know this is normal but I don't want it crooked. What should i do? Is it ok to keep it in full sun? Also the temperature outside at this time is about 38 degrees celcius. Is that ok for the seedlings?

Keep the pot in the sun but make sure to keep the soil mix little moist at all times...avoid soggy conditions
