Aftercare
Plant the onion sets with the tip just visible above the soil surface. Keep the growing area free from weeds and water during extended dry periods to encourage healthy bulb development. Harvest when the foliage naturally begins to yellow and collapse. Allow the bulbs to dry thoroughly in a warm, airy place before storing in a cool, dry location for long-lasting use.
