What is a set?
An Egyptian Walking Onion "set" is one of the little "bulblets" that grows at the top of the plant. It is essentially a baby Egyptian Walking Onion plant.

Set size
The majority of our sets range from approximately 1/4" to 3/4" in diameter, however, some may be bigger and some may be smaller. Any order of Egyptian Walking Onion sets may or may not contain sets that fall in the extreme small or large end of this size range. Meaning, when you order 10 sets, you may or may not get any "big" sets that are 1 inch or more in diameter, and you may or may not get any "small" sets that are 1/4 inch or less in diameter. We deal with thousands of sets, so the sets you receive are the luck of the draw. However, we do try to send a fair range in size so that you don't receive all small or all large sets.

Set shape and appearance
The shape of an Egyptian Walking Onion set also varies. Some sets are round, and some are enlongated. Most all sets will have a little sprout or roots emerging. Set colors range from green to reddish/purple. The outer layers of your sets will be dry. This is normal and occurs during the curing process. Dry outer layers protect the sets from excessive moisture loss and entrance of pathological organisms.

What you will receive when you place an order of Egyptian Walking Onion Sets
When an order is placed, the Egyptian Walking Onion sets are carefully picked by hand and counted. We always throw in a few extra for positive onion energy! The sets are placed into a small paper bag (lunch bag), which is then put into a small US Priority mail box. We do not send any planting directions or other printed material with your order. We are striving to be a "green" company so we try to conserve when possible. Since we post general planting directions on our website, we can save paper and ink by not printing and sending them. Thank you for your understanding.

What to do with your sets when they arrive
Onion sets do not store very well. They are not like a seed with a hard outer coating that protects them from extreme environmental conditions. Egyptian Walking Onion sets are in fact miniature plants. They are very vulnerable and can dry out, mold, or even die if not cared for properly. We continue to sell our Egyptian Walking Onion sets well into the winter, long after we have harvested them all. This is because we cure them after they are picked. Then we store them in dark refrigerator at a temperature just above freezing. They can remain viable for quite a while this way, but they would do far better if they were planted in the ground. We recommend that you plant your Egyptian Walking Onion sets as soon as possible after you receive them. If the ground is frozen or covered with snow when you get your sets, just plant them in a pot of soil and keep them inside. Keep the pot in a cool, dark place if you don't want them to grow too much. Put the pot in a warm, sunny place if you want them to grow like crazy. Do not over water them. Once per week is good. Make sure the water drains through the soil well. There are more planting instructions on the home page.
