Before planting, you must prepare suitable soil. It prefers soil that is loose, rich in organic matter, fertile and has strong water-holding capacity. When preparing, you can mix sand, compost soil, leaf mold, etc., and add an appropriate amount of bone meal and organic fertilizer as base fertilizer to increase the fertility, so that it can grow more vigorously in the later period.

2. Planting time

Planting You also need to choose a suitable time when planting. It can be done between July and September every year, but it is more recommended to choose it in mid-to-late August. At this time, the survival rate of planting is higher and the growth rate of seedlings is faster. It will also be faster.

3. Seed selection and soaking

When planting shallots, bulbs are always chosen as seeds. Choose onions that are large, well-shaped, solid and undamaged. In addition, the seeds need to be soaked before planting into the soil. You can soak them with carbendazim for about 5-10 minutes. After soaking, take them out and start planting.

Planting Pay attention to the depth when burying it. Don't bury it too deep. The depth should be about two-thirds of the onion. After planting, you need to water and moisten the soil, and pay attention to heat preservation in the later stage. Seedlings will grow in about 7 to 15 days. After the seedlings sprout, maintenance measures must be taken to provide a suitable environment to ensure more vigorous growth.
