green onion

Scallions are a popular vegetable used as a seasoning in various dishes. They are drought-tolerant but susceptible to waterlogging (excessive moisture), so choose a well-drained and well-ventilated location for cultivation. When harvesting, you can leave the roots intact to allow them to regrow.

Ideal ambient temperature: around 18~22°C.	The seeds are about 5 mm in the soil.
Avoid soil drying The soil must be kept moist. If it is too dry, the seeds will not be able to absorb water and will fail to germinate.	Until it sprouts, place it in a shady place for half a day. Avoid direct sunlight; place in a semi-shaded area (with diffused light).

Dig holes about 5 mm deep , sow 1-2 seeds in each hole, and then cover with the surrounding soil.	potting soil
Sow the seeds evenly, avoiding overlapping, and then gently press them down so that the seeds are as if buried 5 mm deep in the soil, allowing the surrounding soil to adhere to the seeds.	potting soil

Seedling Management Guidelines After Germination

Watering method

After germination and in the early stages of seedling growth, please use a sprayer or similar tool to gently sprinkle water to avoid washing away the seedlings.
When the soil surface is dry, it needs to be watered thoroughly to keep the soil moist.

	Thinning (shortening seedlings) When the seedlings begin to grow densely, remove them to make room (thinning).
	☀️ Store in a sunny, well-ventilated location. The plant needs plenty of sunlight. Ensure it receives ample sunlight and good ventilation to prevent disease. Harvest when the plant reaches approximately 12-15 cm in height.

Possible reasons why seeds fail to germinate

1. Inappropriate temperature <br />The ideal temperature for germination is 18 °C ​​to 22°C . Please confirm that the sowing environment is maintained within the appropriate temperature range.
2. The soil is too dry . If the soil is not moist enough, the seeds will dry out, which will lead to a decrease in germination rate.
3. Too much moisture in the soil will prevent the seeds from breathing and may even cause them to rot, thus affecting germination.
4. Seed aging or individual differences <br>If the seeds are too old or of poor quality, the germination rate will be lower.
