Frequently Asked Questions

For anyone interested in growing onion plants, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions about onion care, planting, and harvesting. At All Green, we support your gardening journey with expert tips and high-quality onion plants for sale.

How much sunlight do onion plants need?

Onions love soaking up the sun and need at least six hours of direct light each day. In cooler areas, aim for even more sunlight to help the bulbs grow nice and big.

How often should I water onion plants?

Keep onion soil consistently moist but never soggy. A good rule is to water every 3–4 days or when the top inch of soil feels dry. Always ensure the soil drains well to avoid waterlogging the bulbs.

Can I grow onion plants indoors?

Absolutely! Bunching onions or green onions are perfect for indoor growing. Just set them in a sunny spot or use a grow light, and keep the area well-ventilated for happy, healthy plants.

What’s the best way to feed onion plants?

Onions thrive with a nitrogen-rich fertiliser to fuel their leafy growth. Feed them every 2–3 weeks, focusing on the early stages when they’re bulking up for a strong harvest.

What’s the ideal way to harvest onions?

When the tops flop over and turn yellow, it’s harvest time. Carefully pull the bulbs from the soil, keeping them intact, and let them dry out in a cool, airy place to prep them for storage.
