Try for a seed spacing of at approx. 1.95 inches (5.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) if planning to sow direct.
Ensure you have enough space in your garden for this plant - Onion 'Copra' is known for growing to a height of approximately 45.0 cm (that's 1.46 feet in imperial).
Your garden is in partial sun light: Onion 'Copra' likes a position of full sun.

Your garden's USDA Hardiness Zone (5b) is within the ideal range for Onion 'Copra'. The recommended range is between Zone 3 and 10.
Onion 'Copra' requires a soil ph of 6.0 - 7.0 meaning it does best in acidic to neutral soil.
Snails, Slugs, Powdery mildew - onions, and Onion maggots are common problems for Onion so keep a note of any developing symptoms.

How are yours doing? My seedlings seem to be only so-so. I’d say only half of them are standing up, the others are falling over. I don’t know if they need more fertilizer, more water, less water, more light, less light, or if they just should have been planted more densely so they support each other!

They came up really fast and seem to be holding their own. I switched to a cool light only (120 equiv compact fluor) when I noticed my leeks falling over and getting a little singed under the 150. REALLY need some 65F days so I can put the onions and brassicas out in the sun during the day.
