Small onions are one of the common flavored vegetables that many people like to grow, and some small onions are sown directly from seeds, while some small onions, planted with onion divisions. Which planting method is better? Each has its own strengths, but scallion head planting is more advantageous.

Of course, whether it's sowing seeds or planting scallion heads, the overall growth difference in small onions isn't that great, and the key is to ensure the survival rate. Seed sowing is slightly more labor-intensive and time-consuming, but the flush rate is more advantageous; small onions sown with seeds, the saplings come out about 7-10 days, but after germination, the buds grow too thin, growing like root needles, and it takes longer to become thicker, and it's not surprising that it takes two months and can grow better. Scallions grown in shallot divisions are easy to grow and manage because they grow green onion leaves quickly, plus, as the small scallions grow, new seedlings grow on the branches, which become more plentiful the longer the seedlings grow, making them highly cost-effective. And the germination cycle for onion planting will be appropriately shorter, but there will be more broken seedlings and more broken ridges, and the consistency of flushes and growth will be a little less. In planting if it is sandy soil can be used seed sowing method, partial clay soil or yellow soil in the case of trying to onion head planting method, so that you can better extend the growing period and achieve high yield. Small onions are hardy and generally have less fiber and higher quality in cooler temperatures, so they are available in large quantities from late fall until the arrival of high temperatures in June of the following year. Seeders for shallots are usually March-April in the spring and September-October in the fall, with southern regions able to seed in the fall and winter. Grass hut seedlings can be sown as early as January-February, and greenhouse cultivation can be sown year-round.
