2. The right bulb Quality harvest can be obtained only from the selected bulb. It should be round, dense to the touch, without traces of rot and with shiny scales. Make sure that the root bowl of the plant is well formed and large enough.
   
   For window-silling Choose sprouted bulbs. But if there's no sprout, you can cut the bulb head parallel to the roots. The green feather will appear faster. Immediately before landing in the ground, the bulb should be soaked, and it is not necessary to grow in water.
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Temperature. Onions are a rather cold-resistant culture. The optimal temperature for it is 18-20 ° C, so growing onions on the windowsill, make sure that it does not overheat either from the sun or from heating.

In this case, it will quickly begin to rot. It is best to use designs to fix the vegetable at the desired level. Onions are not very demanding of moisture, but you can sometimes slightly spray the feathers so that they are more juicy.

After this time, the bow needs a lot of light. You can even combine natural and artificial light (daylight bulbs). The more light the plant receives, the faster you will see the desired result.
