Planting Time: Spring, Fall
For successful growth, onions plants prefer well-drained soil, enriched with organic matter. Full sun is preferable, though partial shade is tolerable. Ensure they have adequate water, yet avoid overwatering. To plant, prepare the area, placing bulbs 3-8 inches deep, depending on bulb size. Proper spacing is vital to prevent overcrowding. Ensure good post-planting care such as mulching for weed control. Remember, different onions species may require slightly different planting conditions. Being aware of such variations can greatly enhance plant health and productivity.
