Reply To: What is it about onions in modules/pots which sees them flop without rainfall?

These are competition onions which I grow in pots – the ones in the ground are all fine!

I was indeed always watering from underneath, letting them stand in trays with water added to them, all the time from transplanting them from modules into pots.

Now they are outside all day, they are exposed to the elements and the rain made them all perk up wonderfully.

I’ve stopped watering them now as it seems to rain often enough to keep them quite happy!
