Before you start growing green onions, you should select suitable planting material.

For this purpose, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , medium-sized bulbs are suitable.

Large specimens are best used for food, but greens grown from small ones turn out weak and tasteless.

Another important point is sufficient sunlight.

For this reason, the container with the onions planted in it should be placed on a windowsill facing south.

Alternatively, use phytolamps. This will make growing greenery even less time-consuming.

Water the onion planted in the ground as it dries out.

Since the bulb may rot due to excess moisture, do not pour water without measure. By the way, the water for watering onions should be settled and at room temperature.

Finally, let us remind you that onions do not need additional feeding. If you are eager to speed up the growth of tasty and aromatic greens, you can use a natural growth stimulator - succinic acid.
