Instructions d'entretien

Onions require direct bright light for optimal growth and should be planted in a location that receives at least six hours of sunlight daily. They thrive in moderate temperatures and prefer moderate humidity levels. Regular watering is necessary, but the soil should be allowed to dry out partially between waterings.

Récolte

Onions (Allium cepa) are typically ready to harvest when the tops begin to yellow and fall over, which usually occurs about 100-140 days after planting. To harvest, gently lift the bulbs from the soil using a garden fork or spade, being careful not to bruise them. After harvesting, cure the onions by laying them out in a warm, dry, and well-ventilated area for about 2-3 weeks until the outer skins are papery and the necks are completely dry. Proper curing is essential for long-term storage.

Sol

Onions prefer well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. The soil should be rich in organic matter to provide the necessary nutrients for growth. Good drainage is essential to prevent bulb rot.

Engrais

A balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10 is recommended for onions. Fertilize the plants at the time of planting and then every few weeks during the growing season to ensure they receive adequate nutrients.

Rempotage

Onions can be repotted if necessary, especially if they are started indoors before being transplanted outdoors. Repot when the seedlings have a few true leaves and handle them gently to avoid damaging the roots.

Propagation

Onions are typically propagated from seeds or sets (small bulbs). Seeds should be sown indoors a few weeks before the last frost date, while sets can be planted directly in the garden. Ensure proper spacing to allow for bulb development.

Taille

Pruning is not generally required for onions. However, removing any flower stalks that appear can help direct the plant's energy towards bulb development.

Toxicité

Onions are not toxic to humans but can be toxic to pets, particularly dogs and cats. Ingesting onions can cause gastrointestinal upset and other health issues in pets.

Supplémentaire

To ensure a good harvest, practice crop rotation and avoid planting onions in the same location year after year. This helps prevent soil-borne diseases and pests from affecting the plants.
