Bunching Onion, also known as Spring Onion, is a mild onion variety with small, tender bulbs and green stalks. It grows in well-drained soil and prefers sunny areas. Bunching onions are used in salads, garnishes, and cooking for a mild onion flavor. They don’t form large bulbs and can be harvested in bunches when the stems are still young.
Care Instructions:
- Fertilization:
-
- When seedlings are about 4 to 5 inches tall, start fertilizing every couple of weeks with a balanced nutrient solution.
- After they’re established, consider transitioning to a nutrient focused on size and yield, following a similar application schedule.
- Be flexible with the amounts you use, adjusting based on how the plants respond.
-
Pest Control:
- If pests are severe, mix 1 teaspoon of neem oil in 1 liter of water and apply every 3 days during morning or evening. For ongoing protection, use neem oil every 7 to 10 days.
-
Watering:
- Water only when the soil appears dry, ensuring your plants receive the right amount of moisture without becoming waterlogged.
