So excited, mine is blooming. Indigenous to South Africa , where I am from.😊
I bought mine 2.99 in Dobies garden centre in clearance, thanks for info as needed care guide and info
My neighbor was throwing away quite a few small ones of these. I planted them not knowing what they were. Cared for them with the rest of my plants, now asking myself, did I plant onions there? Now that I know what they are, I am very lucky I have at least 10 of these small ones growing.
I've got several because of how easy they propagate. They are from one my mother had when I was little. Right now I have one with the leaves hanging over the top of my cubicle.
I just got one of these last weekend and I am so excited to watch it grow! I watched your video to find out how much light to give it, and you have answered my question. Thank you!
Good to know about the benefits of this onion plant. I have one here. But didn’t know the truths of this plant. Thanks.
I know a lot of plants but this one is new to me. I love it!
Here in the Netherlands they are rare i think.
Awesome vid!
Yeah it's quite tricky to get here in the uk too, but very cool none the less. Glad you enjoyed 😊
What a nice plant ! Thx for sharing Memo 😊
Of course no problem 😊
This is a new one for me too. The foliage looks very similar to an amaryllis
Yes I think so too, very cool plant though, have to say, probsnly one of my least fussy plants
I am in the US. I was so fortunate to find one in a thrift store. It has had so many babies since. I still have yet to see it sold in stores where I am.
Hi...love your videos learning lots from you....just want to ask you if you have or heard of a Bowiea volubilis it comes from Africa and can grow a bulb up to 12 inches with a vine with feathery flowers and as it grows more then one vine the bulb will split in half....its a fun one to watch grow ....I love it......
I've had mine for years...it's nowhere as big as yours. But I have gave her babies away many times.
Mine has been with me for a couple of years now, yeah trying to root out some babies to give away, but they take a while to root I find 🤔
@@Houseplantygoodness I place them between two stones to keep them upright. Also helps keep them from floating away when I water. Your onion is totally impressive! I'm going to try taking better care of mine. Yours inspired me!
Do you think that Vegetables get baby shower 🚿 to send you a new wedding day coverage for you and your family and friends 💖 to
Just now found you while doing research on a Pregnant Onion (baby) that was gifted to me. Yes, lucky girl. Completely new to me although I have many succulents. Please tell me, should I keep it in a pot, or have you tried planting a baby outside? Also, my bulb is maybe half planted in soil (in a cup just temporarily). Should I un-bury the bottom half and help support it for awhile?? LOVED THE VIDEO. 👍
Hello! VERY informative. I've got a question though, is this pet safe?
I have heard of these yet have never seen one until now and it does have the wow factor. If I ever come across one I will be sure to pick it up. I have an albuca spirealis so I know that they are relatively easy to care for. With the pregnant onion being in the same family does it need winter dormancy or does it grow all year round? Another great video, thanks.
No problem 😊 glad you enjoyed, I have never found mine to go into winter dormancy, but it is in a south facing window above a radiator, so that might be effecting that
I've had mine for 30 years and she has never shown me seasonal dormancy. She survived a period of extreme abuse/neglect when I fled my husband, she was completely dry and surrounded by cigarette smoke for several months. She shrank to about one fifth of her bulb size, but when I got her back, she recovered amazingly! She is my favorite plant.
Amazing plant. I have recently purchased one but the long leaves are turning brown on the ends. What am i doing wrong? It does have several babies on the side.
What is the hanging plant behind you in the video? I thought it was a string of pearls or bananas but when I zoom in I don’t think so. What is it? It’s gorgeous.
Ohhh, que maravilla😮, yo tengo una pero no es tan grande. Qué le das de comer a tu bebé ?😅
I saved a tiny baby bulb from the floor of a greenhouse. Now she is a mommma. Was wondering if it was ok to leave the babies on? I dont want to kill her or them.
I'm from California originally and have always had these plants. Now that I live in Vermont they don't grow as large here because of the climate. They are definitely NOT edible. Cheers!
I would love to have one. I been searching for a pregnant union for sometime now. but could not find any. Where could i buy one?
You really can't get bractea, they are actually in the onion genome, just took their own toxic path, they are super cool and make lovely pets, they are hyper toxic to ingest so keep them from pets that are overly curious, lovely video
Edit. The blooms do emit cadaverine to attract flies in small amounts, you really can't get these sobs for some reason, I treasure mine as long term investment, they seem much less resilient to damage then spiralis normally, which is funny because my spiralis died in a move while bractea held enough to live. They do fine in dirt. And honestly may be worth dividing up for sale , easy 20 bucks a pop if you own them thanks to rarity
are they edible?
My nigga is mad cute.
