Allium Cepa should be repotted after it doubles in size or once a year, whichever comes first. Fresh potting soil has all the nutrients your plant needs, so as long as it’s refreshed yearly, you shouldn’t need to use fertilizer. Remember, plants get their energy from sunlight, not fertilizer!

Allium Cepa is native to the Northern Hemisphere, South America, and Africa.

Allium Cepa grows vertically and new growth will emerge from the top of the plant.
