How to Grow

1. Prepare light, loose, well-drained soil, or use a suitable potting mix in a container.
2. Sow directly at a shallow depth of about 0.5–1 cm, then cover with a thin layer of soil.
3. Keep the surface moist during germination without waterlogging.
4. Once seedlings emerge, thin them to about 2–3 cm apart if growing for green onions.
5. Sow successive batches during the season for ongoing harvests instead of a single large harvest.

Care and Harvest

Green onions need regular watering and moderately moist soil, with weeds removed as they appear. A light, balanced fertiliser can be used according to soil conditions. Harvest when the leaves are a useful length and the stems are firm. Pull the whole plant or cut the leaves, depending on your preferred harvesting method.
