All my spring onions in my garden are supermarket bought. I regrow them in a glass of water for 2 weeks like in method 2. And then I put them in the ground. Now I just harvest the leaves when I need it. I have some incredibly huge spring unions that just grew that huge when though they are supermarket bought. Right now I never have to buy spring onions again, because they keep regrowing in my garden.
I started growing my scallions about a month and a half ago, and I've been planning to harvest my scallions this way, leaving the bottom parts to continue to grow. This is the only video that shows this method. All other videos I've seen show to just harvest the outer leaves, which not only makes the plant look messy and unattractive but doesn't really make sense. Well done. Thank you.
simple video yet very informative among all the videos I've watched so far regarding spring onions. So, what I need is the seed, not the old root for the long-term harvesting. Thanks for this.
Glad it was helpful! I am not any professional planter of any sorts :) just a grower at home and this is what I have discovered from my own experience. Something more I have learnt after this video, which is that, if you plant from onion bulbs and if you are careful not to rot your bulbs, keeping it growing continuously you might be able to get more onion bulbs from it. Good luck!!
I don’t agree with this. I cut spring onions from the store, right down to the white and cut half the roots off. Once propagated and planted, they produced 15 times. Just choose the really thin ones at the supermarket as these are likely to be in first year/babies ;) you’re welcome
I am doing this for many years, live in an apartment with a large, covered, s/w balcony. Spring onions in 2-3 wider containers, spring onions - though fairly thin - in abundance, whole year round. I use them instead of chives, which I was never able to grow, for whatever reason. I use it almost daily, for bread spreads and salads mainly, but there is always enough to top daily a dish with it.
Yes of the three i feel 3 is best but it's the longest process. 1 is fast but have to expect some rot of the onion bulbs over time. 2 is too temporary to me is like science project 😅
I think I will try with seeds. What is the soil that you are using for the seed growing method? Thanks for doing the video. I've done #2 a few times and they usually rot rather quickly.
Yes for #2 the white part will rot hence important to keep roots in water only and change water frequent.. it's never a long term growing method anyway just for some regrow experience only. Of all..the three..i will go for #1 on beginner level..and once you are more confident..definitely #3!
I've tried this way many times and every time it failed even when i changed the water almost everyday. I think it's because of our weather; Hot and humid.
Hi, great video. You mentioned that putting them in water was a temporary method, how about if I put them in soil? Will they keep growing, after I trim and use them? Over and over?
HI! Yes if the roots are able to grow into soil and settle, you can restart the spring onions and continue to use them. The risk is always there during transplant, the spring onion bulbs may rot in soil during transition. So proceed with care :)
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday 1 of the most helpful things I have learned to do, is: - cut ALLLL roots- completely off- - set in a jar of water- (using a double-cup "method"- helps better than just leaving them in water bc the "stuff" that the stalk gives off- WILL, get into the roots and then- the onions STOP "growing"!

You can really, just SLOWLY "drip"- some water, into the water you have your cuttings in- you don't "NEED" a spray bottle! What this is going to do- is "aerate" your roots- WHILE they're growing. They LOVE- love love, THIS! Its called "aeration" in English. Not sure what it would be called for your language- but typing that into the "Google translate", with give you a better understanding of "WHY", I suggested this in the first place.
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday yep! Or you can surround the bulb by gravel and only put soil near the roots to decrease the chance of rotting, i love your video btw! 😊
hi there... moist meaning it is damp to touch but it is not holding water. So the best bet is to use well draining soil this way the bulb will not be soaked in water...which may lead to rot over time.
Does it make any difference using red, yellow or white onion taste wise and longevity? Will try your method of planting kangkong, too. Can you pls make a video how to plant garlic? Thanks for the simple and clear videos.
Very interesting and good question! But sorry I have not tried other onion types. Over here red onions are very commonly used and quite naturally I used red :). A very GOOD fact to note about planting onion bulbs is that, if your bulbs does not rot and if you leave the onion leaves to continue growing, the sowed bulb may multiply into more onion bulbs! I have seen success stories of these. I personally have not gone that far. I've always planted for the leaves. haha. Oh I have planted garlic before but only as far as for the leaves. Garlic bulbs does not work over here in my hot weather :(
Hey there! Unfortunately is the same here. Every year at this time..it will be heavy downpours every afternoon and my sunshine in the garden is halved to only 2 to 3 hours daily. This is disaster for seedlings..cannot grow well and to make it worse often flattened out by our strong rain. Yep during this time i actually sow less and concentrate on gardening indoors plants:)
hi if you are growing from the bulbs and if you snip off the top of the onions before you plant them, they will sprout quicker. It's easier for the sprout to grow than trying to push itself out from a closed bulb. If the conditions are right, in a week you will see sprouts coming out from the onion bulbs.
hi! where are you located? You can get them from nurseries or gardening stores online that sell seeds. I got mine online from a malaysia based online shopping portal.
Nice and fresh spring onion all the time 👍. I have tomatoes plants in my kitchen and grows well 🙂. I have it in my breakfast video ...You have my subscribe from me 🙂 Have a great day!!!!!
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday Thank you very much. I will have in two months fresh spring onions,cucumber and pepper plants...🙂. Tomorrow I will put the seeds...

were the supermarket ones thin and grew really thick after being planted? or were they a thick species to begin with?
@@garbagebin8282 both. Both work equally well
A good way to avoid rot with the onion method is plant them in something fibrous like cocopeat mixed with some vermiculite.
Thanks for sharing, I completely agree. Keeping the bulb intact is key to more onion leaves and eventually more bulbs too :)

Tq too :)
I think the best way is no 3 but i never try it yet.. I've tried no 2, still growing but the stem became small.
Yes of the three i feel 3 is best but it's the longest process. 1 is fast but have to expect some rot of the onion bulbs over time. 2 is too temporary to me is like science project 😅

I used a normal potting mix but you must add gravel or draining materials to increase soil drainage. If soil too wet it will not grow well.
I've tried this way many times and every time it failed even when i changed the water almost everyday. I think it's because of our weather; Hot and humid.
which way did you try? Is it the spring onion roots?
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday Wooops, sorry. I should have mentioned it in my earlier comment. Yes, the second one, from the root cutting.
Great way to grow onions.
Can grow garlic shoots the same way too :) just sow the garlic.
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday Awesome thanks
Nice information, stay connected
Thank you take care :)
what if i planted the root trimmings in soil?
You can but it may rot quicker this way. Need more care.

Thank you. Appreciate the feedback. :)
ive been searching this for a while....
thank you. happy planting ;)
Do we have to do a hole in the pot in which the root trimmings are?
Yes you need. To plant in soil always need drainage holes to allow excess water to drain
Ohh kk but I was actually talking bout the the onion which is in water without soil
Can we use shallots for spring onion?
Brilliant video! Thank you
Glad you liked it!
I recommend hovering their root base over water first till roots appear then u can plant
yes thats a great idea. I have done something similar, this way the bulbs will settle into soil easier too
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday yep! Or you can surround the bulb by gravel and only put soil near the roots to decrease the chance of rotting, i love your video btw! 😊

hi there... moist meaning it is damp to touch but it is not holding water. So the best bet is to use well draining soil this way the bulb will not be soaked in water...which may lead to rot over time.
Bro i put 10 percent or maybe 15% of onion body on my aquarium and it rooted and have that green leaves in less than a week its kinda cool tbh.
extremely wonderful presentation. thanks a lot
