Never Run Out Of Onions For Cooking: A Guide To Grow Perfect Onions In A Pot At Home · news18.com

Onions are very important in Indian cooking.

You can grow your own onions at home using pots.

Start by saving the root ends of spring onions and placing them in water until they sprout.

Then, plant them in pots with good drainage.

Onions need a lot of sunlight, so put your pots on a sunny balcony.

Water them regularly and feed them with organic fertilizer every few weeks.

To keep a steady supply, have multiple pots at different stages of growth.

You can harvest spring onions by cutting the greens, and they will grow back.

For bulb onions, wait until the tops turn yellow and then lift the bulbs to dry and store.

This way, you will never run out of onions for your cooking.
