Go to the grocery store and buy a pack of ' green onions ' and then when you eat them cut off the green part and replant the bottom white part . They will regrow new green stems at which point all you do is cut the green stems off again and regrow them again . They are never ending unless you live in a cold climate , grow these all spring , summer and autumn .
You tell that to my wife! She needs new green onions all the time
Mine survived the winter. I planted them on the ground and the green and whites parts are very thick and tall. They just gotten bigger and bigger. The white part is the width of my 4:46 . It seems the more space they have the larger they grow.
I have been doing this method for a while. but It’s getting too big now so I’m going to start from the seeds this time.
Or you could simply just cut the tops and leave the rest in the ground to regrow.
I did chives like this.. after realizing that was way too much,I discovered what beautiful flowers they get,lol.. now I have these wonderful pink and white flowers with the fresh oniony smell growing in my kitchen..

Do you need a container with holes at the bottom? Thank you for the video
Hello. Well assuming You are going to grow outdoors, yes. Indoors, if You can control Your watering properly, no. But outdoors, when it rains too much and the water can't get out, it will create a mud and roots will die.
Thank You for watching 🙂
Give me bread and butter & i give you fresh onion's 🤗🤤
Greeny spring seeds certain rains palms
first time growing for me... Does it matter if my pot of seeds get soaking in a heavy rain downpour? or have rain for several days? (I'm in the UK).
Hello, that depends on how well-draining soil mix is in that pot. If it becomes soggy, seedsmay rot. If You have this option, cover them from rain. At least until they sprout.
Do you recommend growing it from the ground? (First time)
Hello, yes definitely! Spring onions love well draining soil that doesn't become too soggy after rain. And plenty of sun 🌞
So you can keep growing them forever as long as you leave the roots in the dirt?
Well, not forever. It's better to start new ones from seeds after like 5 harvests.
@@Liap I have just started regrowing the ones from the store. I am going to need to figure out how to harvest those seeds. Thanks.
@@primewatch7432 You will need to stop cutting some, so they can go to flower and produce seeds. Good luck 🍀
@@LiapWhy is it better do plant new ones after 5 years. Also will the plant stop growing after it blooms?
Can we get any onion bulb if we keeping them in suitable pot?
This variety doesn’t grow significant bulbs, but there are other varieties of spring onions that does, if the space allows them to. And yes you can grow these “bulby” spring onions in containers too.
Do you leave this outside? Or bring it out ?
Outside the whole time 🌞

Mine grow little mushroom is this normal
It's my first time growing them
Hello, no it’s not normal. It is probably living off some decaying stuff in the soil. Make sure you don’t eat it and wash Your onion harvest before eating.
Hi can we get seeds from spring onion flowers?
Hello. Yes if they get pollinated. Spring onions are biennials, so their second year they should produce flowers and after successfull pollination, seeds.
Good video, not good to be advertising use of peat though! Ouch!
Hello, I am not advertising anything, though I am making options for others, who may not have access to some things. You can grow plants without peat or coconut coir, they can help, but are not essential.
Thank you very much! ☺
How can i do this inside a apartment?
On sunny windowsill. Spring onions are easy to grow, but they need full sun (6-8 hours).

I have read that the fertilizer is poisonous? Do you know any natural ones?
It's nitrates that are poisonous part of fertilizers.
I use fish mix, it's pretty much balanced fertilizer.
Fertilizer that have been used by plants, it's not poisonous unless you consume it directly though.
@@UrbanGardenbyRithy Yes 👍🙂
Thank you for making this clear.
I did this, they got 4 inches tall and fell over, then died.
What happened?
@@Liapthey fell over and died.
Takes too much time😮
But not much effort 😉
67 days for 4 dollars worth of green onions.
Depends where you live. I'm in country France and it's very hard to find spring onions at all.
