How to Grow Onion
When to Sow
- Best sown from October to January for cool-season growth. Harvest timing depends on sowing date, variety and local conditions.
Where to Grow
- Use 10–12 inch containers or raised beds with full sunlight and good airflow
Sowing Method
- Mix 2 parts soil + 1 part vermicompost
- Sow 0.5 cm deep and lightly cover with moist soil
- Once seedlings are established, thin them to leave about 3–4 inches between plants for bulb growth.
Fertilizer & Care
Watering: Keep the shallow root zone evenly moist while leaves and bulbs are growing, with good drainage. Stop watering once the bulbs have reached full size and the tops begin to fall over.

Before Sowing: Add vermicompost to improve drainage and root growth
-
Every 3 Weeks: Use NPK 20-20-20 for balanced early growth
-
As Bulbs Swell: Switch to NPK 5-15-45 to support bulbing
-
Pest Control: Spray Neem Oil to prevent thrips or fungal spots
Local Tips

FAQs
Do onions need full sun?
Absolutely. Onions need at least 6–8 hours of full sunlight daily for proper bulb development.
Why are my onions not forming bulbs?
Bulbing is triggered by day length. Sow during October–January for best results, and avoid overcrowding.
When are onions ready to harvest?
Wait until the bulbs are full-sized and most tops have fallen over and begun to dry. Lift them carefully, then cure them thoroughly before storage.
