The soil is prepared on the basis of a mixture of turf and humus with loosening coconut fibers or vermiculite. Containers and boxes will need opaque ones.

Seeds are sown in a moist substrate in grooves 1 cm deep, lightly sprinkled, sprayed with a spray bottle. Until the emergence of seedlings, the seedlings are kept under a film or glass at a temperature of +25 degrees. Onions of this variety are important for regular watering, including at the germination stage.Use warm water, periodically thin out the seedlings, leaving a distance of about 20 mm between them.
