How to Grow Onion at Home: There are two ways to grow onion, one is by cutting the onion, and the other is using its seeds. In this post, we will grow onions using cut the bottom part of the onion, and there are many types of onions available in the market. This post is about red onion or white onion.

How to cut onion and plant: Cut the bottom part of the onions as shown in the photo. The Head part of the onion is where small and thin roots appear in the onion. The best time to plant onions is early winter.

Prepare a soil mixture: To make soil, take well-drained garden soil(40%), vermicompost (30%), and coco peat(30%), or you can also add perlite (50gm) and vermiculite (50gm). Mix it well. Take a flat flower pot, which has 2 feet in diameter.

While mixing the soil, remove all pebbles from the soil and make sure a drainage hole is necessary at the bottom of the flower pot. If there is no drainage hole in the bottom of the pot, so do it with any tool and keep small stones above the holes.

Fill the soil mixture(70%) in the flower pot and place the cut pieces of onions inside the soil ( 6 to 7 inches deep) and pour the remaining soil above the onion. After that, fill the water into the pot. Place this pot in the full sunlight. After 7 to 10, small leaves appear on the plants, and within 20 to 30 days, the plant grows up to 10 to 12 inches and more.

Remember: Soil pH should be 6 to 7 and soil should be slightly acidic
