- Soil requirements: Red onion seeds prefer well-drained, fertile soil with a pH level between 6.0 and 7.0. The soil should be rich in organic matter and have good moisture retention capabilities.
- Sunlight needs: Red onions require full sun, which means they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Watering requirements: Red onions need consistent moisture, especially during the bulb formation stage. Water them regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Typically, watering once a week is sufficient, but this can vary depending on weather conditions.
- Planting season: The best time to plant red onion seeds is in early spring, as soon as the soil can be worked. In warmer climates, they can also be planted in the fall.
- Depth and spacing: Plant red onion seeds about 1/4 inch deep and space them 1 inch apart. Rows should be spaced 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
- Germination time: Red onion seeds typically germinate within 7-14 days under optimal conditions.
- Maturity time: Red onions usually take about 90-120 days to reach maturity from the time of planting.
- Harvesting time: The best time to harvest red onions is when the tops begin to yellow and fall over, usually in late summer. Harvesting is best done in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat of the day.
- Harvesting tips: Gently lift the onions out of the soil using a garden fork or spade. Allow them to cure in a warm, dry place with good air circulation for about 2-3 weeks. Once the outer skins are papery and the necks are dry, trim the tops and roots and store the onions in a cool, dry place.
