GROWING AND CARING FOR SEEDS
Starting onions from seed is simple. Red Onion Seeds thrive in rich soil and well-drained soil. This should be done with organic compounds as well, such as compost. Onion seeds can be directly planted in the plant pot. Some people, however, prefer to start their onion seedlings indoors. This is something that can be done in late autumn.
The best time to plant onion seeds outside is in the spring. Put them in the soil about an inch deep. Plant them in rows at a minimum of half an inch apart. Moreover, the temperature is an important factor in onion seed germination. While germination usually takes 7-10 days, soil temperature has an effect on this process. For example, the cooler the soil temperature, the longer it takes for onion seeds to germinate. Warm soil temperatures, on the other hand, can help speed up onion seed germination.
Thin seeds to 3-4 inches apart once they have enough leaf growth. Transplant indoor-started onion seedlings about 4-6 weeks before the freeze date. Because onion plants have shallow root systems, they require constant watering during the growing period. Stop watering once the tops begin to lay over, which is usually by late summer. The onions can now be raised. Growing Red Onion Seeds plants is a simple, low-cost way to keep an unlimited supply of onions on hand for when you need them.
