When and how to plant shallots

Onion planting time

Red onions can be planted between July and September every year, and the best planting time is in late August, when the temperature is stable between 25-30 degrees and the light is relatively mild, allowing the seeds to grow and germinate faster. It should be noted that if the temperature is above 32 degrees, planting must not be carried out.

How to grow red onions

1. Select seeds: Before planting red onions, you need to select seeds first. Choose larger ones that are free of pests and diseases so that stronger seedlings can grow.

2. Process the seeds: After selecting the red onion seeds, you need to remove the roots on the seeds, then wash them clean, and soak them in carbendazim. You can take them out after about 10 minutes.

3. Sowing: When planting red onion seeds, you need to bury them in the soil, about two-thirds. The surrounding soil needs to be compacted. After planting, water them in time.

Red onion planting precautions

After planting, if properly cared for, red onions will grow into seedlings in about 10-15 days. During normal care, they need sufficient sunlight and a good ventilation environment, which are more beneficial to their growth.
