Onion is a plant that is widely used both for decorative purposes and in cooking. Decorative onions are close relatives of edible onions and differ in the variety of inflorescence forms, shades, and flowering duration, which makes them an attractive element in the garden or interior. They add a special charm and decorate the space thanks to their original structure and brightness.
Besides live plants, there is also artificial decorative onion, which is used to decorate rooms. Such artificial onion consists of rooted leaves resembling bulbs and is suitable for placement in indoor conditions. The height of such a plant is about 50 cm, which makes it a convenient decorative element for various interiors.
For those who prefer to grow edible onion, such as leek, it is important to know the features of its cultivation. Leek seedlings are grown from seeds, seedlings appear within 2-3 weeks. For planting, individual holes or cups with a depth of about 12 cm are used. Leek leaves can be periodically shortened by a third, which contributes to thickening the stem and improving the quality of the harvest.
