What Customers Say

Why Onions Need Specialized Nutrients

Onions require specialized nutrients such as nitrogen for vigorous leaf growth, phosphorus for strong root development, and potassium for disease resistance and bulb quality.

Watering

Water deeply once or twice a week, depending on weather conditions, to ensure onions receive consistent moisture but avoid waterlogging.

Light

To promote healthy growth and bulb development, provide onions with full sunlight for at least 6-8 hours daily.

Soil

For optimal onion growth, use well-drained, sandy loam soil with a pH between 6.0 and 6.8, enriched with organic matter.

Additional Tips

Mulch around onion plants to retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
