Is it Better to Grow Onions from Seed or Bulb?

Growing onions from seed provides access to a broader range of varieties, including organic and heirloom options. Onion seeds take longer to mature but often develop stronger disease resistance and better adaptability to different conditions.

For a faster harvest, onion sets (small bulbs) offer a convenient alternative while still yielding great results. Whether you choose seed or bulb, you can enjoy fresh onions in your garden.

Should I Soak Onion Seeds Before Planting?

Yes, soaking onion seeds in water for 12 to 24 hours can improve germination rates. This process helps soften the seed coat, allowing for faster and stronger sprouting.

While it's not strictly required, soaking your seeds can improve the growth process if you're planting in less-than-ideal conditions or want to speed up your harvest.

Do Onion Seeds Need a Heat Mat to Grow?

Onion seeds don't require a heat mat to grow, but using one can significantly improve germination, especially if your indoor environment is below 70°F. Heat mats provide a consistent, warm soil temperature that encourages faster sprouting and stronger initial root development.

They can also help prevent uneven germination, which is common with fluctuating temperatures. If you plan to start your seedlings indoors, a heat mat can make all the difference. 

Another resource to improve your indoor planting process is our Bio Domes. These seed starter kits focus on crucial factors like moisture and space so your harvest has the best growth potential. 

What Should I Not Plant with Onions?

Avoid planting onions near beans or peas, as these crops can compete for similar nutrients and inhibit each other’s growth.

Onions do well with companion plants like carrots, lettuce, and herbs like dill or parsley. Keeping the right plant neighbors helps maximize your garden's yield and promotes healthier crops.

6 Steps to Grow Onion Seeds

Growing onions from seed is a straightforward process that requires just a bit of preparation and care. By following these simple steps, you can set yourself up for a successful season:

  1. Prepare your soil: Make sure your soil is loose, well-draining, and rich in organic matter.

  2. Plant your seeds: Sow seeds ¼ inch deep and about 1 inch apart.

  3. Water consistently: Keep the soil evenly moist but avoid waterlogging.

  4. Thin your seedlings: Once they sprout, thin plants to 4 inches apart for proper spacing.

  5. Monitor for pests: Onions are relatively hardy but watch for signs of disease or pests.

  6. Harvest at the right time: Bulb onions are ready when their tops begin to yellow and fall over. Green onions can be harvested anytime after they reach a suitable size.

With these steps, you’ll be well on your way to growing a healthy onion crop. Start your onion-growing journey today with our high-quality seeds.
