Re: Onion
You are placing ripe onions in soil to get more onions? It will grow, eventually, but you won't get more onions. That's unfortunately is a zero-sum game, where the loss is exactly balanced by the gain, for yourself :-)Mustansir Billah wrote:How to grow onion?

I guess in this rainly season onions have a tendency to rot. If they are not sprouting, check the conditions of the onions.

Re: Onion
How much time is required for onion to sprout?
How can I know which onion will sprout and which will not?
The onion I planted before were 2 and gave me approximate 20 onions.

Re: Onion
what you are saying mr mustansar 20 onions from 2 onions..... first thing is that onion grows from seed and second it is impossible that a single onion can produce 10 offsets perhaps you are kidding or you are talking about garlic...

Re: Onion
I don't have any rule of thumb for predicting which onion will sprout and which one will not. Any healthy onion should sprout once placed in soil.Mustansir Billah wrote:How much time is required for onion to sprout?

Would you like to share how 2 onions can give 20 onions? It will be a miracle.

Re: Onion
That makes sense & perfect sense!Mustansir Billah wrote:Green onion.
You had confused all of the readers by saying that you placed an onion in the soil and you got 20 onions as a result. This is totally incorrect.
So you must have started from onion seeds or its paneeri.

Re: Onion
That would be 'bunching onion' do you know that onion or any bulb planted very shallow will multiply rapidly like what happend with your two onionsMustansir Billah wrote:When I saw 2 ordinary onions with leaves growing which was kept in kitchen for use then I placed it in a pot and got 16 green onions.
