- One of my favorites to have around. If water is your preferred method, adding liquid plant food can help increase longevity.

I've grown green onions both ways, and let me tell you, the ones grown in water are VERY fragile. One touch and they bend over completely
I bet it has to do with the lack of nutrients. I'd be curious to see how they do in water when liquid plant food is added
@@gardeningindoors I add liquid fertilizer to my water grown green onion. They are sturdy, crunchy and more flavorful than just plain water grown ones.
There scallions the green onions have a way bigger bulb
they also start stinking if you don't change the water daily
Yeah been doing it for years but only this past year started putting them in Soil. Which I love so much more. Plus I hate having to constantly change the water
I planted a large pot of them about a year ago.... I neglected to water for about 3 months and that shit was still alive. (Dealing with hurricane damage and didn't have time to do little things like watering easily replaceable plants.) I highly recommend them for beginners. Not only is it very hard to kill but the stalks can be harvested over and over giving the budding gardener the positive motivation to continue.
I frequently go weeks without watering them. That's why I say it's lower maintenance than water, which has to be changed every few days
😃
ahh we grew them in a pot too, but they died after no water for a week, but that was like during the summer and no one wants to go out in 100 degree weather, so they kinda dried up
@michellaneous I bet if you popped them in the shade it might help them getting too dry. I'm from down south so thankfully we get enough sun in the shade for most plants to grow, but that 100+ weather will kill anything if I'm not careful 😂
@@michellaneous3364 also depends on what place you come from. Humidity and evaporation....it affects.
I have 10 year old green onions I started from the roots i cut off when cooking. They are 3 feet tall and blossom every year creating new onions. Theyve survived ice storms, snow, crazy heat and neglect. Theyre awesome!
So you just cut them from the stem right ? I think I'll start the same b
Very cool! Good to know. This video reminded me, why haven't I tried this, yet? 😁
Another easy one is mint. But it spreads! So make sure to plant it somewhere away from anything you don't want taken over!
When I was 11 we moved into a house that had mint growing along the back fence. That was perfect since it was at the bottom of the yard with just grass and trees around, maybe some bushes. There were more flowering plants and beds closer to the house. (Not a giant yard, but a long rectangle.)
That mint got no attention unless we were cutting some, or 10 years later when my Mom got remarried, my step-Dad who loved gardening started battling some of it back. 😂 Now 40+ years since we had moved there and it's still growing strong.
Could you tell me how u plant it. I have zero experience but would love to try
@@MD-fl6kj when preparing green onions in the kitchen I cut off a half an inch or less of the bulb end (where the roots are attached). This is usually just trash but you can regrow them. Poke a hole with your finger in some potting soil about 2 inchs deep. Then place the piece of bulb with attached root (root side down) in the hole. Cover the hole and the bulb with soil. Dampin and keep damp. If the soil is room temp it should sprout within the week.
@@dhruwakshiphalke3365 yup. As long as there is some root attached at the bulb it will grow again!
For chickens, just plant your eggs in potting soil and water daily. Put it in full sun to incubate. Before you know it, your chicken tree will hatch. Prune off excess feathers to encourage growth.
Do you eventually get fresh eggs with those, too? The price of eggs is ridiculous!
@@rearichardson5780 Yes, some eggs will be edible, but if sufficient bees are present some will contain chicks. Just check them in the sunlight.
But who comes first, chicken or the eggs?
@@aneeshamohan6107 depends on what egg you pick first. You gotta candle them to see if they will hatch. The more feathers on the tree, the fewer the eggs will be chicks, as they will need feathers inside the shells. If you grow the tree outside in summer, alot of the eggs will be hardboiled.
I am having SO much fun with this nonsense. 🥰
ChatGPT does stuff like this
I have mine in soil. It's been 4 years of draught and floods for them because I often forget, but they're thriving. It's honestly crazy
You are so lucky.
I have never been successful in growing them. 😢
I have ones outside that are about the same age. It snows here, and they keep re-growing after snipping off the green parts. The one that I've pretty much left alone is nearly the size of a leek.
will the green onions become bitter if it's recutted many times?
I have one single green onion bulb that's been growing for 3 years now, it's crazy even the winter seasons haven't killed it
Same here I'm wondering why someone would even plant it I mean if you eat it it's gone but if you plant it you only get one so there's a big waste of time isn't it
Does it need sun?
@@alessandrabarabino6414someone said they grow them in their refrigerator so I’m guessing not really.
@@MARS-GREENH0USE well you see, once you harvest the first one, you cut off the top, eat the top, and replant the bottom again! eventually you can begin growing more than one at once as well and its infinite! cheers :)
especially once they begin to flower you can harvest seeds and thats an infinite food glitch
i love regrowing them, i get so excited when i see new growth!! my bf thinks it’s cute how proud i get of them lol
They grow so fast!
I have been growing mine for over 2 years now. If you let some of them flower they will go to seed and you can grow more.
Mine haven’t gone to flower cause I keep cutting them to use but I left the bulbs in the ground and they come back in the spring even without letting them go to seed as long as the bulb is kept in the ground
@@miekaandkadoe7042oh you're lucky! if you have extra you can leave a few alone and surely they will bolt (mine usually during spring). seeds will fall on their own or you can collect them when they're ready and grow them where you want or save them for years to come. gardening is so fun.
How many times do u have to water them in a week and do they need the sun?
@@juvsobhamYes they need sun and I usually water them about once a week.
I'm waiting for seeds, right now. I just put them in some of the 5 gal buckets I use for potatoes. They've stayed alive all winter. I kinda wish they'd hurry up, so I can have my tater buckets back 😂
This is pretty much the only re-grow hack that actually produces food that is comparable to what was originally purchased at the grocery store, aside from starting the seeds from your food of course.
I agree. I’ve been asked to show what other foods can be regrown and usually refer them to videos that are already out there because anything else I’ve tried to regrow hasn’t been worth it.
Who woulda guessed that growing a plant with all the needed nutrients would make for a better plant
I started mine in a shot glass and then transferred them to soil after about a week and a half and they are doing so well!
You don't need to leave that much onion on the root for them to regrow, I've regrown from 1cm long (3/8 inch) ends - and if you transfer to soil you can cut the tops off again and leave the root in the soil and it will regrow the same way
Thanks very helpful
This is good info. After im done growing them outdoors, i can grow them inside in the winter. Fresh green onions are so versatile and tasty
I do this all the time. Its great. I did it with celery and had celery all summer long xx
I planted mine in soil & haven't purchased any in over a year. I never thought of celery. I will try that tomorrow, thanks for the tip.
I planted celery scraps two years ago and they are still going strong. The ones in my garden look healthier and have much heartier flavor than those from the market.
thanks 4 d celery
@@tuesdaysmith My seeds are slow growing but I'm going to keep persevering to. 😣 put the cut bottom of the stalk in water for a few hours like the scallions and then plant out in a decent size pot. Wait for new stalks starting to appear and enjoy watching it grow. Its really good to watch 🤗
How would you do it with a celery? Can someone please tell 🙏🏼
All my bunches I buy go straight into soil, then I use as I need them, a lot of times I just cut the tops and they just keep growing!
Been doing this for over 20yrs😁
Straight to the point, no added fillers, no ads. Thank you, this is quality content.
Absolutely.
It’s actually better to do both , start of in water to promote root growth and prevent root rot in the soil. Then take them out and let them dry a little before planting them in soil. 😊
Tried it. But they rot I'm the water 😢
No
Mold has always been my problem
I love it that people are now doing this. I put a video on youtube about 7yrs ago about growing perpetual shallots from the stubs and then just cutting them off at ground level in future. Perhaps it was not my video that finally got people doing this but I am glad they are now doing it. I also put up videos of other things that can be grown on and on.
This is fantastic! I usually regrow them in water and noticed the bottoms, get yucky, and I never thought to use soil, but I will now thank you!
I planted about three bunches of green onion roots from the ones I had cut and used from my local grocery store about two years ago. They are insanely HUGE now and some have even grown big enough bulbs to use like regular white onions! They have now given me seeds to plant in this year's garden to harvest this summer! I still cut and use the greens from them all the time! Buy once and never have to buy again.
I love green onions so this is a game changer. Thanks!
I swear I could eat Scallions everyday with a meal.👍😋
I always buy green onions! I'm gonna try this.
You can cut a lot closer to the root if you like using the white part too 😁 I just grow these ones to use the green as a garnish
Recently, I've learned that you can do this with so many vegetables that it is astounding! Lettuce is another!
It's a hell of a money saver, and if you feed them well, they're way better than when you bought them
i buy a bunch every 3 months and regrow them love free food
I bought them 3 years ago and havent had to rebuy...
this is what I do
Works with leeks, shallots, garlic, regular onions, etc.
allium just won't die, and many common pests hate their smell
Girl you just motivated me😂. I just bought some green onions and I’m about to do this 😂
How'd it go
Thanks for the onion growing tips! 😊
I did this and put them in the garden 3 years ago. They've survived hardest freezes and are going really strong in early February right now. I'm going to do waaaaaay more now.
I heard from others you can only get 3-5 harvests out of a single green onion plant? In your case are the stalks flowering and producing new separate plants, or are you not harvesting much?
That's a sub from me! This is gonna be super useful for when people have to grow plants if we run low.
I planted mine in a self watering planter with clay pebble grow media. I fed them just cheap liquid miracle grow nutrients and they grew huge, about the width of two fingers and two feet tall. I transplanted them outside.
Whenever I grew them in water they get so slimy on the inside I think it's better to grow them in soil
growing anything in just water is quite incredibly stupid, if you actually want to grow in water, you'll be looking at deep water culture which is actually a very good and cool way grow veggies
This happened to me once never seen it before I threw them away cause I wasn't chancing it. Come to find out it was fine to eat but I still wouldn't do it.
I love that hanging bucket setup. It would be so easy to take to the kitchen to pick and wash for harvest.
I had no idea! What a great video. You just earned a new subscriber!! Keep them coming!
Thank you 😊
thank you!!I live in a tiny apartment but love plants and have been having a difficult time figuring out how I'm going to be able to do this
I’m going to “Start Doing this!!” As I LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!! Green Onions!! I use them SO MUCH!! Thank You for your Video!!🙌🥰💗
I want to try this! Glad this came across the feed! Thank you
Both methods work well my Late Mother would get a Clipping of any plant and grow it in Water first before Transplanting it to Soil.
Ive had my green onions for almost 3 ysars. They bloom every 6 months (blooming inside right now!) Because i bring them inside for winter.
I love veggies. Keep up the good work Sis ❤️😊
The green part is almost exclusively used as garnish while the white part is the one you use for cooking and nutrition, so good job multiplying garnish once every month, lol
Also... Regular onions too.. been doings THIS for YEARS 👍
It seems like they never die when you put them in soil. I've had some in my backyard garden for over 2 years and I just keep snipping and eating them.
I love how your green onions are so well-placed symmetrically! 🤔😁👍🏻
I'm a photography stylist so positioning objects is a specialty of mine 😂
You are very kind to recommend such growing pot.
Yaaaaaaasss! I love this. New subscriber here. 🙌🏾
Me too🙋🏽♀️
I accidentally threw the bulbs away. Put some stalks in water and they grew. Green onions are amazing
We planted some green onion in the garden bed a few years ago and they are still growing!🎉
I grw green onions in water but I never have to put them on the window sill. They'll still grow even without sun
I am definitely going to do this. Thank you! ❤️
My brother threw some in our abandoned garden for the lolz, and it grew out like a weed! It reproduces fast, too.
Not sure if it’s normal, but their seeds grow on top of their mother plant before it can even drop them! It’s crazy
I do this, I just snip the tips and water them every once in a while. Don't have to pour out plant pee either
Not the plant pee 💀
I've grown them very well hydroponically out of a fish tank so the fish waste worked as nutrients for the plant which helped keep the tank water quality higher for the fish. I wanna try it with mint and basil as well this spring
Circle of life.
I do regrow them in my hydroponics rail under the LED shop lights. Ive found you can cut and grow about 4 maybe 5 times before they give it up and don't grow well any longer. But by then I usually have my big garden going.
Also pot up those big onions if they sprout and use the tops as green onions and do the same for any garlic that sprouts. I found I really enjoy the green garlic sprouts in my ramen
Oya
I definitely wanna do indoor gardening in the future
The last sentence you said made me press the like button for the first time in 5 years. Cheers ☘️
Had a pot with 4 regrow for a year like this.
That’s Awesome 👏
Whoaaa thank you!!
Very good information. Earned a sub and looking forward to more.
I want to see more. Thank you.
Always love growing my own onions, and I had it in a bigger pots .
I cook alot of Asian dishes and use a lot of green onions. This year I started mine from seeds. It already sprouted in like 4 days!
I already knew this and a great idea to share with others!
wait i need to know what that hanging rack is that held the green onions. its so cute
I have a wall garden vid on my page that goes over how I made it
“Did you know you can put a plant in soil?” Lmao
I think we'd be surprised how many people think of these as food but never once considered that they're plants.
This is my fav kitchen tip. I eat them every other day with eggs
Totally true!! I did the same as an experiment ages ago and the one in the pot (outsode in the garden) was absolutely no hassle and grew triple the size of the in the water inside one !! 😊
I don't understand why gardeners (especially new gardeners) want to grow every plant they see in water when most plants have evolved for millions of years to grow in soil.
It’s an ok temporary solution but there’s so many disadvantages to the water method
I'm gonna guess it's easy
Great 👍 video can you make a video showing us how to keep those nasty fungus flies out of the soil
I have a couple on TikTok but they're probably too long to reupload as a TH-cam Short. Basically I keep soil covered with aquarium gravel. It drastically reduces the chances of them getting in there and laying eggs
That’s incredible! Thank you so much for sharing this advice. 🙋🏼♂️
I love this! It reminds me of doing science experiments in school.
Yes more please. I want to grow my veggies in doors
the ones I planted gave leaves twice and then they’re so done and dry already that I’m left with their empty shells to remove 😅
I enjoy the white part of the green onion aswell, and even if you barely leave the roots and a tiny bit of the end of the white part, they grow anyways. Onions are freaking hardcore they don't care!
Great tip. Thanks!
Someone I know gave me some green onions they salvaged from a recycling bin from behind a grocery store. They were almost trash and I gave them life in my window. It’s been months they’re still thriving and even flowering 🌱🌸 I’m so happy for them 😅
They can go forever if you know how to take care of them properly cuz I've had mine for about 3 years
tips?
@@nmpoy as you cut and grow off of it little bulbs will grow off of the top every so often let them grow until they start to kind of grow roots and then poke them in the ground. So when your other ones get too old and stop growing so well you can pull them out and still continue. But also remember to change the dirt every so often because your plants will the their dirt will start to become hydrophobic which means they won't take water right. But eat off of them like normal. But I just let it grow and pull off of it and eat off of it and continuously use it and replace it every so often cuz some parts of it do become too old because like the main part of my plant literally turns three and I'm probably going to have to replace the main part of my plant here soon with one of its babies.
@@marissalaird5628 thank you 🌷🌷
If you let a couple flower inside of the flowers, they will start shooting new bulbs. You can pop the bulbs off the flowers and replant them straight into the ground and they will route within 2 to 3 days.
Quick, eloquent, friendly, educational, humble and not even annoying with the "leave a like part". That's a proper woman ladies and gentlemen! Not offering any part of her body but her brain. 👍👍👍🥰
I never buy green onions or leeks. I bought a bunch of each, cut the bottom inch off and plant them. When I harvest them, I repeat the process. NOTE: Onion can be grown outside even in WINTER. I've been doing it since 2007.
They definitely don't grow here in winter it gets to -40 degrees
😱
Bro I just leave them in the fridge and they just magically re-spawn themselves.
Really
Condensation waters them
I grow mine outside and they turn into MONSTERS by the end of the summer. They're also one of the last plants still green under a later of snow.
I do this all the time. Has more flavor when in soil, than when in water only also.
Put them at the same level😂 so we can see actually growth difference
Well, idk about height, but the ones grown in soil are clearly thicker and have a darker green colour
i cannot seem to make mine grow! they sprout and then start to get weak and die! i have tried both ways, in water and in potting soil. i have tried putting them in the window sill to get some sunlight during winter because they dont last long on the kitchen counter but they also eventually start dying... 😪
Do you prune them? As in peel off the older, more outside leaves. And make sure the young fresh parts remain.
@@royalacity naturally i do but that made no difference. they just die
liquid fertilizer
Chickens are so easy to raise the eat literally anything… as long as you got a fenced in backyard and you’re good.. just give them a little shelter to go into at night and escape the sun that’s literally the hardest part about them… and green onions are so cool and delicious they remind me of oddish
Yes. More please.

Whaaaaat? You can put a plant in soil, And it GROWS? That science be sciencing….
21st century women discovering that plants can grow
Yeah I mean...what did they think they were coming from??
I'm so glad I found this channel!
Welcome 😊
@gardeningindoors thank you mam. We need more peeps like you
my green onions are unstoppable monsters...its so good to have them around, absolutely worth it
In the video it looks like the ones she put in the pot just regrew, do you actually get more onions than you start with or is it more a fun experiment?
@@user-zs8yu4bc9t they regrow into full-size onions! i use them for cooking all the time. it seems like they multiply but don't quote me on that 😅
I've had them regrowing for years I highly suggest soil for sure it's so much better than water. Honestly water prop for onions is just for the pretty
You have to stick the eggs in water or soil and put them in a sunny spot and they will continuously regrow chickens
Nice tip!! Thank you!
If you want to keep them In Water make a homemade fertilizer with a banana peel, one tea bag of black tea and coffee grounds soak everything in hot water for an hour and strain it then let it cool down and add 2-3 tbsp of it to the water of your green onions. Mine were so firm and dark green and smelled great. Replace with clean water after a week and always make sure the water is clean and not murky. Add the fertilizer once a month
I grew up on a farm. chickens are kinda the same way. you find one and stick it's feet in the ground till it can't move. usually within a few days baby chickens start developing like dragon fruit haha. great video btw
I'll do it in soil now! 🤩 I look forward to it!!
Subscribed! I love green onions
I weird, I literally just got some and then this video pops up. Will definitely have to give this a try.😊
