5. Proper Thinning:
Once the seedlings are a few inches tall, thin them so that they are spaced approximately 4 to 6 inches apart. This prevents overcrowding and allows the onions to develop fully.
6. Watering:
Onions have shallow root systems, making them susceptible to drought. Water them regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not waterlogged. Overwatering can lead to bulb rot.
7. Fertilizing:
Fertilize the onions every few weeks with a balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers as they can lead to lush foliage at the expense of bulb development.
8. Weed Control:
Keep the onion bed free of weeds. Weeds compete with onions for nutrients and water, which can hinder growth. Hand-pulling or hoeing are effective ways to manage weeds without damaging the onion plants.
