- Regrow New Onions From Another Onion? Well, let's find out. In this video, we revisit the experiment from last summer where we sliced off the root end of a regular yellow onion, suspended it in water until it rooted, then planted it. Apparently that wasn't good enough and the naysayers said that a true onion will never form again from that sliced end.
Well, ok then. Let's find out.

I started one about a week ago and I have 2 little sprouts already. They are store bought onions. Love your video's I've learned so much.
Dang it Sharon, you're ahead of me! Time to go crank the heat in my grow chamber....LOL!
The original video in question from last summer: ua-cam.com/video/4t58WTIJVOU/v-deo.html Not everyone was happy that the final harvest wasn't shown FOUR MONTHS LATER. Very well....let's document the process here then.
Super excited to see the whole process and to be made a believer.😉😉😉😉

Love your videos! Could you please start adding the sizes of the pots you use for each plant your growing to your description section ? I'm new to this and have no pots and would love to order some to get started.👍
@@veronicacarey7107 Great idea Veronica! Be aware as well, for the larger pots, its easy easy to get them for free throughout the year. Nurseries, garden centers, private growers...you often see the 1 gallon and above for free. Its the smaller seedling and germination trays that you need to buy new. Cheers!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Thank you for the heads up! ☺️👍
can you post your other videos to see the results occured please?
I'm so excited 😁 I'm doing this right now from your video I can't wait thank you so much for these easy to understand videos
Thank you so much for your helpful tips. Your videos are well done and easy to follow! I’m now growing an onion on my little balcony!
Right on Brooklyn. Thanks so much for watching and for the support!
Also, if you didn't know that Leeks can also be regrown, check this out. They are super expensive right now, so I make sure to keep mine going and going and going.....! ua-cam.com/video/ywYBm2_a67M/v-deo.html
Yes !! I started mine a week ago !
This was really cool. I eat a lot of onions this came in handy
Same i love onions
I can vouch for it! It does work. I got 6 small onions from an onion bottom. Also some went to seed and now I have seeds for next spring. Well worth saving your onion and garlic bottoms just for the seeds and sets alone.
Nice work! What color onion did you work with?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms brown onion is the one that I got sets from. The red and brown onion went to seed too. I think I know why I got seeds with some and sets with some. It depends when you plant them. Some I planted later in the year and some before winter and during winter. I started them inside though in a plate of water to get the roots started. Pre sure onions need that cold spell of winter to split and grow more onions. I may be wrong but I’m growing more this year and just planted more. I’m going to do a heap more this year and i will plant them throughout the whole year so I know what works best.
I love your videos. As a beginner gardener they are very helpful. I’m trying out regrowing lettuce from an end cut now. Do you use a weather station or weather app to help with gardening decisions?
So interesting, thanks for posting. I'm going to check out the next results.
I just cut a top off and see if I can get it to propagate too.
Right on Suzy, thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us 🌹🌹🌹
Thank you so much for watching Abtsam!! :-)
it really worked well i am doing exactly what u did,i am always growing onions like this after watching your 1st time of onions video
Right on, glad to hear! Give leeks a try too!
Thanks so much. I am going to do this. All my tomatos is from tomatos I just put in soil, and All my pepers and Chili. Have a great day
Right on man! Regrowing stuff is ridiculously satisfying!
That is because they all contain seeds!
Dude! I’ve been looking for vlog 3-5!!
yes me too! (Maybe he hasn't made them yet)? He did say it takes 4 months to grow onions...... (his first video was march 9/20)
Fantastic! great video!
Thank you so much alarcon! It is much appreciated, 100%. :-D
Thank you for this video!❤🙏

love experiments and trials like this. Can't wait to see the remaining videos Jeff!
Thanks, me too buddy! Gotta crank the heat to make it go faster!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms My new grow tent is super toasty. It's obviously warmer than the ambient air when I open the curtains. I think it's going to be great.

I'm trying this with Spanish and leeks. Starting Oct 22/2020.
I had an indoor garden experiment in 2012, it worked great, but have not done since. Cheers.

I love your videos! I’ve learned so much, thank you for the tips! Do you have a video on how to make the growth chamber?? 🌱🌞🍅
Thanks so much Kendra! I do in fact! Although, many different variations can be made, I documented the one I made here: ua-cam.com/video/0s97kj_64cA/v-deo.html
FYI, I watched your last onion video you reference and since (1-2weeks ago) tried it, so I’m back, to see the results!
Right on Ryan! Did you try a couple ones yourself?
I'm doing this with a store bought onion. I did it in January it has long shoots . Idk if it'll grow flowers to harvest seeds so I'm be patient with it. I did this with celery and works great
For sure I think you'll get flowers and seeds. Might take the heat of the summer to stimulate that part of the life cycle, but you'll get it. :)
Great videos
Thanks Susan!
Thank u for Ur help I am a beginner 👍🤗
Best of luck!
I like this video and I am going to do this, thanks for sharing👍👀💚
Hey Spitfire, that's awesome. Right back at you and thank you for the support! :-)
I do this ALL the time. Each chamber in the onion will be come an onion. I didnt know that until i harvested them and found a cluster of onions below the ground. I look forward to watching your process .
So cool Robyn. Were the cluster of onions significantly smaller than the parent ones?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms They were like ping pong ball size. I ate some of them and held back 5 in the back of the refrigerator. I replanted them like "starts" and have 4 of the 5 growing now. So far... so good. I think if I had divided them up sooner... they would have grown bigger initially. So I am doing that now, separating them after they have grown a bit in soil. I dont think i will be having to buy onions for awhile... lol
@@robynmize4713 geez.... You got me thinking... What if this was a way to create an inordinate amount of new Onion sets?? There must be a way to do it...the big seed houses have it figured out... So should we! I do have a cool project going to produce sets by seeding like normal in the cell trays, then drying them out. I am just experimenting to see if they will "come back to life", ha ha! Cheers, thanks for contributing Robyn!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms i bought a bag of sprouting White Pearl Onions at the 99 cent store... and planted them... i'll report back on that experiment too. My friend calls me a Mad Scientist. lol
@@robynmize4713 ha ha, so awesome! So were they dried onion sets? And it was warm enough to plant straight outside? So cool....! I hope to tackle purple onions this year... We'll see!
I need to try this
Thanks after rooting how long before u plant them
I love it
I’m a new Gardner and we have yellow onions at home and a few have started to spout .. can we use these ones to plant and grow more from?
I have two onions I would love to grow, however, the tops of the onions are what have sprouted. Can I plant the whole onion, or do I chop of the top fourth of the onion and plant that?
Yes it does work
:-)
I'd like to see when they are ready to harvest. Do you get a bulb onion or just greens to cut like chives.
Well Amelia, that's the million dollar question.... Episode 2 drops this weekend now that enough roots have sprouted and we can plant them!
Great video
Thanks Queenly! 2nd video coming in the next couple of days!
How long does it take and how often do you change the water? Thanks
I tried your method last night. I used water with aloe juice. This morning I already had white roots.
Wow, that was fast!
Water,, I’m gonna try it and see I thank you for the video//
Question. Dixon. Dale says when you get the onion plants do not soak in water. Or place in soil before planting. They also say wait until you have at least a week of temps above freezing before planting. Why wouldn’t it help to get the roots growing before setting the plants out? Wouldn’t that give the onions a quicker start ?
Yes for the cut onions, it's not the same as planting full sets or even seeds.... I start my regrowing onions when I cut them, not in a specific month
Thank you, it's a very useful tip! I don't know if you know about another useful thing with regard to onions, which I discovered by accident. That is to make a potent, very nutritious liquid plant feed from the water that you used to rinse an onion with.
During a time of severe water restrictions my family and I began to collect waste water to use it for the garden. We put a small plastic tub in the sink and transferred water from that into plastic buckets. We also rinsed onions under the tap before chopping it up. In this way the little bit of moisture at the cut ends ("onion juice") ended up in the buckets, mixed with the water we used to rinse the onions. After a while we noticed that if the water in the buckets were left to stand for a while, it became more and more smelly.
Natural sciences are not my strong suit, but somewhere I read that fresh onion tends to attract microbes or bacteria from the surrounding environment. It certainly seems that something mysterious happened when we left water that had even a little bit of onion juice in it standing overnight. The water became more and more smelly and cloudy, and plants thrived on it, they were so clearly revitalized.
Since then we've been using it regularly, since we eat onions with practically every meal. At the moment we are considering utilizing it on a larger scale so that more plants could benefit.
It helps that we've never cleaned the buckets -- it creates the ideal "breeding" environment for the onion water microbes. The smellier the water becomes, the more nutritious it seems to be.
It's no use dropping actual onion pieces into the bucket -- that just creates a particularly revolting smell without noticeably affecting the water it is floating in. It's the juice (even just a tiny bit of it) that is able to turn the entire bucketful of water into potent liquid plant feed.
Wishing you all the best!!
Thanks for the tip Alrina!
I heard it works. Thanks for sharing your experience. Haven’t tried it yet. I saw a couple videos from people in India and Vietnam using onion juice as a rooting hormone. One video called it “poor man’s rooting hormone.” I wish I could remember the plant they were rooting…. If I remember to, I’ll try to look it up and post the info here….
@@mayhemschild Thank you, I appreciate this tip! I saw on a UA-cam video just now that onion juice isn't really a rooting hormone, but it can be called a rooting agent: "Onion due to its antimicrobial properties when mixed along with other stuff will certain improve the results of rooting your plant cuttings. To prepare this: Take 1/4 Onion, add 1/2 cup of Fresh Aloe Vera Juice extracted from a leaf; add some Cinnamon of Willow bark into this (it's better to have presoaked it in a cup of water for about 24 hours); then add this cup of water into the blender and make it into a fine paste or solution; then strain out this liquid to use it as a rooting agent. Just dip the cuttings into this solution or apply it with your finger and plant the cuttings."
Is it too late to plant onions in June if I sprout them from another onion?
I was given some red onions free so I would like to get the roots in and plant thanks
The red ones work great! They do tend to multi-shoot though, so you'll have to divide them up as they grow.
I just cut some onions to try this.
What about the other end?
If you like eating stems or would they grow on, to become plants for seed?
Hey John, the stem end never grows roots to support itself so it won't work with that side unfortunately.
I just cut a nice, fresh, purple onion and I was wondering..... and here you were...lol. Onion roots are in water!
Ha ha right on Suzanne, how are they doing?
How do I know when its time to harvest? I've had these purple onions planted for a few months now and it doesn't seem like there are any bulbs. Also got some stuff growing from the tip of the stem.
They get harvested the same way as if you were growing them from seed or set. You can move some of the soil away to peek at the bulb, like you would with garlic. The stuff growing at the tip could indeed be a flower head. Unless you're in the Southern Hemisphere, now isn't the time for bulb harvesting. When it is close to harvest time, bend the stem over to set up the bulb for maximum yield. Cheers Jennifer!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms thanks I'll try that.
Can I use roots from onion bottoms that have dried out?
Can I let it go to seed to use those seeds for lots of onion plants next time?
This video was really helpful.... I'm glad that there's someone out there who's willing to give us amazing tutorials on how to grow seeds and other stuff. I tried it and I'm really getting results from my onion scraps. I just hope the third video comes out soon because I really hope I'm not too late to split the onion scraps
What if the spouted onion in water does sprout but develops mold??
I watched the video on growing onions from the roots you posted last year and then saw you had an update this year where you planted more roots again. Did you get a true onion to grow from the roots last year or did you just get green sprouts coming out of it?
Bulbs. That's why I am doing the 5-part series this year so people can follow along to the end.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms So you mean like small green onion bulbs? Did you try replanting them to see if they grew to a full size onion? Stuff like this is fun to try. I let my carrots go to seed one year but unfortunately we had to move before I was able to harvest them!
How long an onion tales to mature from the bulb ?
How often to change water? Thx
How long do you need to sproud in the water?
I just put my ionion end in water 😂 got some more compost and making my own
I'm currently growing onion in a plastic soft drink bottle. The leaves are getting long now, maybe I can cut for soups. Under the soil, I don't know what's going on. All I can see are white long roots around the container.
Roots is good! That would be so cool if it grew a bit to the side so you could see the onion bulb grow!!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms Thank you!
Wow , I just bought 150 onion starters, from hoss tools they also have a Channel, they will b delivering here in Montgomery County, Texas after November 1st , I've been getting my land tilled, this forsure would save me money!! Thank you , also I messed up a tote full of fingerlings I thought were determinate, well not ...I have to either let them just make what I've covered with about 8inches dirt or stop it now & use for broccoli, garlic etc .
Went to home depot for like something to put in tote 38 inch diameter, but the greens grew a good 12 inches ,while I was away camping in My RV , stupid , the Gentlemen at home depot said maybe put 4 posts in then like thin wood or ? Hammer or Staple, the wood to posta all 4 sides an I could add more dirt ..
So glad got 4 above ground 4×8 beds for my bday & a 2x6 standing one with a Shelf for my deck...
So frustrated , didn't realize they were indeterminate potatoes, but learning is Helpful , thank you Josette Tharp
Montgomery County, Texas 👍👍👍👍👍
cutting onions off at the three quarter point make them turn into four onions and then sixteen onion and after that is just gets to big. it would be a big show man. please try it and remember all you have to do it top them and then add compost to the row around it.
Its why plants are truly amazing Stephen! :-)
Will this grow the actual onion or just the greens?… I want to grow onions but it’s like no one is showing the harvesting of the actual ONION it’s getting frustrating
I think you don't need the heat lamp for the onion. I had a cut up piece in my compost bin sprout up maybe 12 inches just sitting maybe 10 days..
Definitely don't need heat lamps, you are correct.
Your compost probably heated it naturally! 🙂
Cooooooooool
@ the ripe tomato farm
Hi. I have an onion ready with a lots of new roots but no shoots to plant. The question is that when is the right time for planting? ! Can I plant it now beginning of fall ,outside?
It is a kind of experiment ...
Thanks for your challenging videos 👍👍
Hey fery, it depends on how cold your fall is. Onions aren't like garlic where they need an over-wintering period. Ideally this is all done in the spring.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms thank you so much . Got it ☺
@@ferferiify no worries... Anytime!
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms 🍅🍅 thanks again☺☺
Please I hope you see my message, please what type of technology should I involve in onion farming
Good soil, sunshine, compost, mulch, water, and elbow grease.
I've tried this exact method several times now and all I wind up with is moldyonions, what am I doing wrong?
Are you dropping them in water first or planting straight to soil?
I thought these were old vids NOT , I guess I'm going to SUB and wait , All part of the conspiracy eh ? LOL, I love onions and will try this year , I should be about a month behind as I'm in central Canada . Oh just put some garlic in the ground before the winter hit and I see now they are just popping out the ground , exciting , Cheers !
Ha ha right on. Yeah, these are going in real time so people can follow along. Video #3 should be out soon. Cheers!
I found an onion that had already had a green growth. I was able to separate out thee plants from the one bulb.
Is putting the onion tops in water first mandatory or is it possible to place them straight in the ground?
Not at all Wakko...I just like to see roots first before I try to put them on soil. It just gives me a greater measure of success.
what to do if molds appear on top?
Onions are remarkable. If Garlic can do it, why not an onion?
no videos i find tell me how much to actually water onions and how often
How about using a rooting hormone to excelorate more roots faster
Yup... Little IBA powder would probably work great!
I don't know what I am doing wrong I have tried to get the roots sprouting but it only starts spoiling. Can anyone make a suggestion that might work?
Hey Nat, perhaps try more water changes, cooler temperatures, and if possible, try to make sure only that rooting tip touches the water. That could help.
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms thanks..I will try changing the water.
Like this
can they not be fully submerge d in the water?
No, they will rot
I just plant them directly into my beds and they grow great
Nice. How deep? Do they sprout quickly?
@@TheRipeTomatoFarms 1/2 inch
Can someone help me, why is mine shrinking? Looks like it’s dying.
Are you changing the water frequently enough? With onions, the water can go bad FAST.
None of the little containers looked like they had enough water to reach the roots of the cuts.
But they did.....

Mine keep rotting
I've been trying to regrow my onion using this method. Unfortunately, it always fail. The root grew a little, and then ultimately stop, while the onion itself start to dry out. The root is brown in color. Does anyone know what's going on? How do you prevent (and fix) it from happening? Thanks in advance
You need to plant the onion in the ground before the roots turn brown. First put the onion roots in water and wait 2 weeks before planting it in dirt.
