How to Grow Onions in an Apartment: Once You Try It, You'll Do It Always

It is not only summer cottages and vegetable gardens that provide the opportunity to enjoy plants and their gifts.

You can also grow and get wonderful harvests in an apartment. Including in winter.

For example, you can grow onions without much effort. If you follow simple rules, you will always have greens.

Experienced home gardeners say: try it once and you will do it forever.

And what exactly to do was explained by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

According to her, green onions are grown in boxes or flower pots (clay or plastic).

To the required height (12 centimeters), the sides are reinforced with planks, thick cardboard or film (the most optimal) at the level of the corner posts.

If we are growing from turnips, then before planting, the upper part of the bulbs should be cut off and placed in warm water for 24 hours.

But sprouted bulbs do not need to be cut. Plant them close to each other.

Then you need to cover it with a layer of soil (up to a centimeter) and put the boxes or pots in a warm place.

When the bulbs begin to sprout, we move the boxes (pots) into the light.

We water generously, but we do this taking into account the degree of drying of the soil.

If the air temperature is from +22 to +24 degrees, and watering is done with warm water, then the first side leaves of green onions can be cut 2 weeks after planting.
