Plantain Ptushka (Rose) nets 250gr

Plantain Ptushka is an improvement of the old variety 'Rosanna'. This rose onion is planted in February-April and can be harvested in July-August. The recommended minimum planting distance is 10 cm in the rows and 20-25 cm between the rows. This pink onion plant has excellent cooking quality, moderate earliness, nice yield and acceptable storage life. This planting onion comes in a net.

Tip: Onions prefer to grow in the sun, in a warm place. Onion also grows on almost all types of soil with a good structure, but preferably on a soil of fertile, loose, humus-rich soil that retains moisture, yet sufficiently permeable.

With a well maintained soil, fertilizing is not really necessary. If you do need to add some fertilizer, do not use a nitrogen-rich fertilizer (such as farmyard manure) to reduce the risk of diseases such as head rot or mold. Rather use a potassium-rich fertilizer.

When the foliage of the onion falls down, the onions can be grubbed up. Then you let them dry until the foliage is completely dry. You can now remove the foliage and store the onions in trays in a well-ventilated, dry area. Storing in the form of an onion braid is also possible. Here we braid the leaves of the onions together with a cord. We then hang the braid in a well-ventilated, dry room.

The onion fly is about the only possible problem. Nice to know that if you plant onions and carrots next to each other, you will find that you are less bothered by both carrot and onion flies. Also for tubers and beets, lettuce and tomatoes make good neighbors. Peas and beans, on the other hand, are to be avoided as neighbors.
