Growing green onions from green onion roots (with actual results)

- Green onion is an easy plant to grow. You can grow it from seeds or you can grow it from the roots of the green onions. This video shows how you can plant the bottom part of green onions that you normally throw away and get an evergreen supply.

Thank you, great video! For some reason most videos showing how to regrow green onions never show what they look like weeks later. Love that you showed that and gave great tips!
THANK YOU for showing us the progress as the weeks go by! It was important for me to see the process
I greatly appreciate your posts for their thoroughness and clarity of instruction. I cook a good deal of Mexican and Northern Indian dishes, so I am in constant need of fresh herbs, which I prefer to grow rather than buy. Since following your advice, my garden's productivity has been significantly improved, and I no longer find myself short of cilantro or green onion. Thank you!
Thank you! It's soo helpful to see the onions growing for a period after they've been transferred to soil.
Thanks for showing actual results
You are welcome. All our videos show updates and that's why sometimes they take years to complete
Thabk you! This was so helpful! I have been keeping my green onions in water and after a while they get thin and soggy. I know very little about planting and growing things, so I appreciated that you showed how you cut it. Normally, I don't cut that much of the plant. I am going to out them in soil and start cutting off more.
This is one of the best videos I've seen! Your explanation is perfect and so easy to follow.
Wow, thank you!
Thank you for this post! You covered all the points I had questions about, and also great tip to keep harvesting/using the green tips and leaving the bulbs for continuous production.
Great job explaining everything. I really enjoyed being able to see the growth over time. Thanks.
Thank you so much for this video! I have a few cuttings that I keep in a cup of water near my kitchen window. I wasn't sure how to proceed but you have answered my questions. :)
Me too!!
I love it! I started mine in water then transplanted into dirt. So far so good!!! Thank you for this video.
Great, keep us posted
Thank you! It worked. I am so excited and eat them often! 🎉
They grow a lot quicker than I thought. Will try this next time, thank you.
Thanks so much. Very clear. I agree with you concerning the full sunlight too.
Love love love this video!!! Thank you! Can’t wait to plant my onions tmw!! :)
Thank you for the video! I especially like how you have included a time table to see how well they did. I just planted several after watching.
Awesome!
Thank you, I've been wanting to try this for awhile, you explained well
Thank you! Excellent tip! I'm going to trim what I need from my garden, and regrow the roots!
Awesome
Excellent!! planting some in a few minutes. Thanks.
Thank you sooo much for this video. I tried it and it really works. GREAT VIDEO

This is great info, very clear, thank you!
perfect presentation. I wish all videos were so clear. Thank you
Excellent video. Simple, understandable and informative. Thank you!
Thank you
I’m learning so much!
I will prune mine tomorrow didn't know it grows back so quick. Thanks.
Very helpful, thank you!
Thank you so much! I always used to trim them and place them in water so they would regrow but the bottoms get mushy and they eventually die no matter how carefully I watch over them and cut them back.
I’ll try this next time instead!
Just finished planting mine!!!

My green onions are now big. I learned about how to keep harvesting them for the summer. I live in canada short growing season.
Green /spring onion is a powerful Spice and it is very beneficial for the health. It's Remove cholesterol. I also grown spring onion in my garden
Good idea thank you...☀
Thank you so much!

Let me know if you want me to make a video of a certain plant
Thanks
Thank you
Thank you.
You are welcome
You are a darling. I honestly never knew this, thanks much.
Thank you
Thanks for the video! I tried growing them in water, which works. However, I hate having to rinse the roots everyday.
You don’t have to rinse them everyday! Most ppl do it once every week, I personally never rinse them and they’re totally fine lol, I just rinse off the slimy parts before I use them
Works!! Was fast!
Natural is awesome
Great, i would like to do this indoors year round
Absolutely! Not sure how well it will do indoors, may be with grow lights.
Super cool I want to be a farmer! Thanks
That's nice.
wholesome video
great video. Leave them longer because I eat a lot of them. I ha lots of problems with my stomach and since I started to get much better. Love and subbed
Great take care
This is great ! How deep a pot should I use to allow for adequate root growth?
6 inches
Thank you for this video it was very informative! I am completely new to gardening and have never actually grown anything but hoping to start soon! I have a few questions...
- What is your preferred soil for green onions?
- What exactly are compost and perlite lol?
- Am I right in assuming that the green onion bulbs will grow into big white onions? If that is the case do you still keep them in the original planter or do you replant them in a bigger one? Do you keep using those onions as green onions or are they solely big white onions now?
I use general purpose soil. Compost is fully decomposed organic material.these onions don't grow big
Hum spring onions 👌👍
I have grown spring onions the same way and have limited their sun exposure pretty much the same way as you did. However, I have noticed that they eventually grow thinner and smaller leaves up to a point that they would easily bend and turn yellow soon after. Do your onions do the same thing? Thanks!
No, mine are still growing taller and pretty healthy. Now the flowers are appearing so I will show how to collect the seeds
Thanks for sharing. May I ask you how often you need to water the plant?
Keep the soil moist all the time. If it dries, they will flip on the side.
I tried this before and what i notice is that the green onion would do well within the first month then after a couple of prunings, they would produce much less and would slow die
Must be the weather. Mine keeps growing all year long and when they seed, I use their roots to start fresh
Hi Easy Peasy Gardening! Is there a difference between covering the bulbs with soil or leaving them exposed to air?
If they come out because of growth, that's fine
How many times can you harvest and get a decent length? I did this exact same method, but after the 1st or 2nd harvests, they didn't grow as quickly, or with the original height and width. Air temp, soil moisture, etc. remained pretty much the same. Any suggestions?
I harvested many times till they started to produce flowers
I like the white part though. I would have two buckets alternating
Good
Would you follow the same method to grow out the white stalk of the green onion to use for cooking? You would just have to plant more frequently?
Yes absolutely
Hi. I noticed you didn’t cut all the green stems when you were pruning them. Was that on purpose or you can cut all the green part close to the white or root? If you do, do they grow back again?
I normally leave at least one leaf in each plant so that it keeps making energy for the plant unless I needed all the leaves I could harvest
*Guuuuud...* 😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you
Hi,Do you cut off the bottom roots also before planting in the soil ? Thanks
No, bottom roots need to stay
I’m wondering if you need any nutrients or anything. Can I use potting soil. Compost. Etc.
I generally add one third compost to the potting soil
Great video. I just planted these yesterday.
Where do you get your Compost? It's so lose. Not compact at all. Pls suggest brand etc.
I get it from the city composting site
What about in Alberta where there are 4-5 month of -25 degree with snow from November till March ?
Maybe indoors
Yeah I do same every year but only thing Is onions dont grow only the green long pieces
I have onions growing too. Stay tuned for a follow-up video
Hi I’ve been doing this for quiet some time now with no problems. But yesterday I noticed that I have 2 buds that are starting to flower growing on the top of my green onion. What is that and should I discard it?
You can prune it off but this indicates that it's at the end of its life now. Once it starts to die you can uproot it, cut the bottom part and start all over again
Awesome, I think i will plant some next year. I planted onions before but not the green onions. It looks too easy not to do it.
Exactly. I use this method to harvest the greens so I never buy green onions now.
when do you change the soil? do we need to add nutrients to soil after a few years?
After a couple of years the plants will seed and die. At this point, I dig them up, cut the bottom bulb and plant them in fresh soil.
nice explaining the process of growing onion. May I know what editing software you use for English subtitles.
Just UA-cam subtitles
@@EasyPeasyGardening I mean for editing and incerting English subtitles which software you use.. kindly name it please.
@@vijaykandakatla469 I just enter the script in UA-cam editor. I don't use any other software for subtitles
@@vijaykandakatla469 oh now I understand what you mean. UA-cam automatically generates the subtitles. Sometimes I edit them and most times I leave them as they are. They take a few days to generate them after the video is published.
When I want the subtitles at the time of publishing, I enter them in their software, while watching the video
How long will the small bulb produce green shoots? I've always kept them in water in a jar in my kitchen and the shoots grow but eventually I throw the bulb away because it gets dark gray. Not sure what that means exactly so I toss it.
Depends on the weather but they can easily last for six months. Sometimes a year
@@EasyPeasyGardening thank you! I will try growing them in soil then. Maybe they'll last longer.
Hello, I would like to ask you, how long are the roots of green onions? What length of depth do we need, thank you
They are not that long perhaps 3 inch deep.
This was lovely thank you! To think people just throw them away!
I know. Such a waste but now we know.
Hi can top soil be used for planting green onions? How long onions will be brown from this.
You can use top soil with some organic material like leaves or compost. I don't use it for onion bulbs
I have some that have been planted for a while and they're pale and have dry, tan parts. Does that mean they're not getting enough water or could it be another problem?
Check the soil by sticking your finger one inch deep. If the soil is dry you need to water it more. If soil is moist maybe it's getting too much sun.
@@EasyPeasyGardening I wanted to report that adding fertilizer (Plant-tone) caused my older green onions to flourish! They are growing greener and larger than my newer green onions! It took a few weeks to see some results. I'm also watering them more frequently. I was really ignoring them before.
@@shuumai awesome. So glad to hear that.
I did the same
How long do it take for the green onions to turn into a bulb?
These are bunching onions, they will not grow big bulbs
Can i keep them indoors? We are in middle east and it will die bcoz of too much heat.
Yes you can! I keep them near a window.
Hi, how many days or weeks to wait before you can harvest?
It depends on the growth, Once they grow to be about a foot, you can harvest, a few weeks
@@EasyPeasyGardening I see, thanks!
