Both entries list partial sun (3–5 hours). Light alone does not distinguish this pair in the catalog; compare the temperature and care-level entries below.
Spring Onion (Hari Pyaz) has a recorded range of 8–32°C; Suran (Elephant Foot Yam) is listed at 18–38°C. The recorded ranges overlap from 18 to 32°C. That overlap compares the draft entries; it is not proof that either plant will suit the spot.
Spring Onion (Hari Pyaz) is marked easy, compared with moderate for Suran (Elephant Foot Yam). Treat that as a planning estimate, then ask which care tasks each plant needs in your conditions.
A comparison cannot set a watering date. Check moisture first: pot size, growing mix and current weather change how quickly a container dries. Record what you notice and decide when to check again.
Read the RHS guide to watering containers for general container advice, or use Plont’s plant observation checklist. The RHS source supports this general advice; it does not verify the species-specific draft values above.
