- Full tutorial: www.epicgardening.com/regrow-... I know I'm not alone in accidentally forgetting about an onion from the store, only to find it has sprouted! It's "bad", right? Nothing we can do? WRONG! Learning how to regrow onions from kitchen scraps is a fun lesson in gardening.
In this video, I've gone a bit deeper than the average plant hack, really examining the structure of the onion and seeing if we can do a twist on the classic regrowing onions tips you see everywhere.
There are plenty of other ways to do this, this is a fun way to both explore the onion itself and hopefully get a more reliable yield!

Could you please show the final product that is still growing in the soil? What does a mature, red onion look like in the soil before you remove it from the soil? Is it above the soil? Below the soil? How do you know when to harvest it?
This wasn't epic
Great video! Did you do a follow up video showing the results? If so, I'd love to see it.
Thanks for the link. It definitely filled in the missing details!

“Well, it hasn’t gone bad, in fact it’s trying to live again” I’m crying 😢
Me after finals
@@gilshoham9601 HSUWHAHA
i cri everytim
Person doesn't cook with onion for a while.
Onion: I live, I die, I LIVE AGAIN! WITNESS ME!
Onions will do that 🤔
I planted an onion like that, & never grew full bulbs, but it became like a massive, giant green onion. I tried them once in dinner, & they were pretty good. It grew flowers & attracted butterflies, which was cool.
💚💚💚💚
That’s cool to know!
I think with all plants like this (veggies, and others) you plant a few then have them pollinate. After that they drop seeds that you grow into more onions I believe.
@@matthewcurry3565 That's what I'm thinking, too.
I peel all the outer layers to eat and plant the center when some green blades are coming up
Followed these instructions, only got one little plant with one really long root haha, but he's a stubborn guy who's been growing in my pantry for like 3 months, so I think he deserves new life! Soaking him in water now, named him Herbert.
Give him some light.....!
We need a update
LoL... I name things to... Love the name
Love the name. I had 5 onions grow out of my I have to name all of mine now lol
Is Herbert still with us, or did you eat him? 😳
The real miracle here is that you were able to peel all those layers without crying. Respect.
It because the bottom of the opinion where the roots are, aren't cut. When you cut the bottom, the onions start to bleed. And the blood of the onion can cause a person eyes to sweat.
Adelyn Orata I don’t think she was being literal here. More of a ha ha moment. Meant be funny lol
You cry just when you cut the actual inside of the onion, not by peeling it.
Its beacuse the onion knows its getting help
Adelyn Orata fun chemistry fact: the same chemical in onions that makes you cry is the same chemical that’s in acid rain. That was such a fun experiment!
I left 2 yellow onions in my raised bed and they turned into 10 sprouts. I left them longer till the skin was almost breaking. Separated them by pulling them apart. Replanted and are tall, strong, and regrowing well. 😉
So.... Very similar to garlic ¿?
I love this! Rewatching again and what resonates for me is the "we don't grow plants.. they grow themselves." "we're there to steward & shepherd them in their journey." it makes me sigh a deep sigh of relief
You know ... while I was trying to let the onion live again, it reminded me to live life to the fullest. It's funny how a damn onion can teach me life lessons. Anyway, very happy to chance upon your channel Sir! Many more potting awaits!
I should be studying but let me watch this onion grow real quick.
This is exactly what I needed. My red onions got some sprouts and I got a little sad because where I live, red onions are a little pricier. Thank you. I am going to use this!
Repeat !
Ok, how did it work out?
@@donaldduck830 I didn't take good care of it and it didn't work out. But that's okay. I'll give it a shot another time.
I did this last year with some red and brown onions that sprouted in my pantry. Took aaages, but I had no idea what I was doing at the time, so I’m pretty happy that I got 4-5 browns and two small red onions out of that. Have just used and re-sprouted one of the browns for a second time. Was so excited when I saw them forming proper bulbs! 😁
Yeah I made a mistake earlier a couple but it’s growing and I don’t know if I should leave it. I dug a hole, and threw a onion that was starting to go bad in the and covered it up and watered it once and said “if it grows it grows”. Well it started growing good, but now I’m worried I did it for nothing 🤣
@@GardeninGracei did the same thing and the sprouts are soooooooo long now it’s been a couple months but I have no idea what to do so I searched up the video 😂
@@GardeninGraceliterally water it once
ooh this is really interesting! would you consider doing a follow-up video whenever these are coming out of the soil down the line? i'm really interested to see how they turn out!
They will grow a thick green Sprout, then at the top a flower head will develop. In nature, onions produce a bulb during the first year and if the bulb is replanted the next year the bulb will produce seeds and not another bulb. Plant those seeds and the cycle starts all over again.
I knew there’d be a video on how to do this on Epic Gardening. Perfect explanation. Thanks Kevin. You’re the best!
had half a white onion sprouting in the fridge, placed it in some water and eventually some dirt, and it grew into maybe 5+ onions that I later separated and replanted. Onions are so cool and easy to grow/regrow and it's nice when you dig them up and get extra ones to replant or sets and seeds from the ones that flower.
How long does it take for these little rooted slips to produce an actual onion?
LITERALLY noticed an onion sprouting in my pantry today, time to do this
Same here! Going to try it.
What a treasure you are! I love sharing your videos with my grandkids. You are our new science teacher!
Love to hear this!
I grow all my onions from bulbs because in Canada where i am located (zone 3) I would need to plant seeds SO early in the season and have grow lights on for months. Bulbs are a lot easier option Gardening here in colder climates! Thanks for the video! such an inspiration for us small time youtubers
yes . I do the same in Montana, at over 6,000 ft elevation. It's 17 degrees F. today, 4/10/22. Gotta be creative to garden in brutal climates.
I would love to see what the onions look like when it’s time to harvest, and what you get! I’m a first time gardener. I just put scraps of onions in bowls. I am hoping to get new leeks and onions, but I don’t know what I will get.
Your comment about carrots was enlightening. I thought the carrot top would grow a new carrot
How did it go?
The carrot itself is where the plant stores its food in the first year, so in the second year it will use it as energy source for flowers. Thats why you eill always get only greens
@@bar123k5 Will the newly planted greens from the carrot produce seeds for planting the next year?
@@patriciagraham4786 yes, the greens qill producw flowers then the flowers die qnd thw flowers will have seeds.
From what i know they do NOT need to be pollinated
Ha how did it work out
I have one currently growing in my fridge, so this is really helpful. One thing I forget where I learned from, onions are bi anual plants, which means they naturally dies after two years. The first year they sprout from seeds at spring, then grow leaves and a bulb. Throughout the year the bulb accumulates sugar and grow into a full size onion. When winter comes the leaves wilt, leaving the bulb to overwinter underground and sprout the second spring. Then in the second year, the bulb will use all that accumulated energy to sprout, grow leaves, and very shortly sent out flower and grow seeds. Soon after the seeds mature, the whole plant just wilt away. So it really isn't very realistic to hope for another giant bulb when you replant. On the other hand tho, the leaves are edible and teste like spring onions, plus the flower looks really cool if you could get it to flower.
Such great information. Thank you, onion friend!
01:51 😂 "Journey to the center of the onion" 💅💅
I was worried about my onion growing in my pantry and this video has taught me a lot. I showed this video to my neighbor and now he is relieved about his onion growing in his house also. Thank you for this video!!
Ooh my gosh!!! This makes more sense what happened to my grocery onion I tried growing. I cut and divided them, but didn't know I had to root them in water first. I just planted them, the white part was buried in the soil. And it was fine for about 2 months. Then it slowly started to wither and then it disappeared. I guess it really did die.
Thanks for making this video, I now know what to do next time when I get growing onions!
that happened to me last year because I did the same thing as you. I was SHOCKED this year when onions came up int he same spot I had put them last year with no successful harvest. I will let them grow this season and (hopefully) see what I get later in the summer.
I wish you could just come take a class from you and learn everything hands on.
Maybe sometime!
Same!
well, not anytime soon lmao.
I would love that
I am NEW to gardening vegetables. I just started regrowing a few items, and onions are something I use a lot. This video is going to help. Thank you SO much!
Glad it was helpful!
I've been growing the same onion in a container for the last three years! Glad to see your post! 😊
I love every single video you make. Always informative, enjoy the simple and to the point commentary all the while keeping viewers engaged. But the biggest appreciation of all is having confidence you leave nothing out for beginner gardeners. Thank you for that! And of course you’re quite nice to look at lol 😆
I really appreciate your no BS approach, thank you!
THANK YOU! It was honestly harder than I thought to find a decent video on this. And today I planted my first sprouts🌱😁if I didn't know what to do properly 🤦♀️I almost threw them away. As I saw mold but kept peeling and the look beautiful with a few inches of root! I'm soooo hopeful for this. Thanks again!
I honestly LOVE peeling onions! It’s so satisfying!
Looking at utilizing my "scraps" to jumpstart my spring garden and came upon this video as I'm figuring out what to to with what I'm finding while spring cleaning.
Thank you for stating where you would bury the bulb to. Very helpful. Had not seen that in a video like this yet.
After watching I tried it out. Your instructions were great. It went very well seperating the onion and I planted the two I got. Now I will have to wait to see what happens. I had a lot of fun. Thanks!
You are a gift to us from God. Thanks again for showing how waste isn't necessary, and against everything nature stands for lol.
So nice of you
Completely agree. Bless you Kevin!!
thank you for this video. Initially, I just put the whole onion in the ground. lol. I see I was wrong. I dug them back up, peeled them separated them, and put them in my grow bag. I'm learning a lot from you. Thank you so much. I also picked up your book recently. I didn't think I could grow anything. my first harvest was microgreens. I'm inspired to keep trying and growing.
Perfect timing, I put a onions root ball into a cup of water last week and now I got two nice sprouts and a decent amount of root growth. I was about to Google what to do next and you actually solve that problem for me thank you
Perfect!
This video helped me so much! I applied this technique to the scallions I bought at the grocery store and it's working so well! I just used them in my 3 ingredient mashed potato video, had to give you a shout out thanks so much!
Very cool! Wish you had made this video a month ago when I tossed the whole onion into a pot and buried it. It's rotting now. LOL! BTW, I think it'd be really great when you do videos like this that you show examples of how they look after you grow them out. Khang Starr does a really good job of time lapsing the stuff he grows and so it gives us a really great visual of how things look as the plant progresses. :)
I will do for sure - trying to get caught up on a backlog of projects!
I started a couple onions today, they are fresh from the store but I cut it about 2/3 of the way down and I'm suspending it in some water with toothpicks. Hopefully it works otherwise I'll just be doing it this way. Thanks for all the amazing and super informative videos!! Happy growing everyone
OK, done. One rotting onion had two plants in it, the other had three. I would have sworn the onions were too rotten to save, but no, there were pretty and clean plants inside. They are in water now, so let's see what happens. Thanks.
They turn out good? Got a few red and White onions im about to inspect and hopefully put in water.
@@charelljackson5617 They turned out pretty good, yes. They didn't grow as large as the original, but they were tasty.
This was practical, and food for the soul. Loved this video, and the gardening ethos ("we're here to steward and shepherd the plants on their journey"). 😍
thankyou for being so thorough, This is a step I need to take care of now I can do it with confidence 😇
What perfect timing this video was! I was just looking at a sprouted onion and a couple of sprouted shallots wondering what I can do with them besides throw them out to compost. Excellent tutorial. I now have 4 sprouts from one sweet onion prepped and in water, hopefully to root, along with 3 from 2 shallots. Fingers crossed!
You got this!
Have an onion doing this now. Came across your video about re-growing. Excited to try this out. This will be a cool winter project.
I love your tiktoks and was looking for help on youtube getting my veggie garden going so I was very happy to find this video. It was clear and helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Hey, Kevin. Just watched your video about regrowing onions from onions! Gotta say I greatly appreciate your instructions, explanations & info- you don't just say"put it in water!" Glad you have your book in the shot. I have it, it's my new generation "Crockett's Victory Garden"!, easy to use, informative & applicable to my needs as a growing urban gardener! 🌱🌻🌿🙂 thx
I really love the way you really get in there an give a full and professional learning video for beginning growing food thank u 4 ur video
Thanks. Great for anyone learning plant biology. You’ve got the best attitude.
(Maybe because I just watched ‘the news’!)
We just buried our red onion a few days ago. I didn't think about peeling more layers to check how many shoots can be in there. I have never seen onions bloom flowers before so that's another thing to look forward to. Thanks for the tip!!
This is one of the first videos that I ever really sat and watched. I looked it up because I had a sprouted onion. I come from a long line of farmers and I never knew this. The internet is marvelous. I love your philosophy, "We don't grow plants, they grow themselves."
Just ordered your book from Amazon. I’ve watched you for a few years now and have learned so much and been inspired so many times. I felt it was time I gave a little payback💖✨💞💫💝 Thank you !
My mom bought a new aloe Vera plant. But when I inspected it, I was able to see it wasn’t 1 plant. It were actually 7 plants, it had 6 offshoots/runners.
They're called pups
Aloe Vera is a very useful plant. Don't be afraid to cut off pieces to use on burns and sunburn! It is very hardy. And, it happily new plants. We have too many aloe vera, and many are huge.
@@suran396 yeah all of the plants are still doing well and they have been a great addition to my skincare routine and have helped with sunburns as well greatly!
You sound like such an awesome science teacher!!! Thank you, was at first just curious about my onion then became super intrigued by your explanation!
I am in love with how you explained everything
I had half an onion sitting in my fridge and I was about to toss it when I noticed something green starting to grow out of it. So I put it on top of a glass of water because my mom sent me a picture saying to do that with a full onion and now it's growing like crazy. It's only been like 4 days and the roots are at least 6 inches. Wish I could share a picture considering its half an onion lol but after seeing your video, I'm kinda convinced to get rid of the other half and plant the child. Although the water in the cup seems to be doing an amazing job. Not sure how it'd react to the transplant.
@ 0:37 - So true, thank you! They make up these hacks that don't work or leave you with no next steps and false expectations. I am a new fan of yours please do a video for small apt herb gardening. I have no idea where to start but I am an amazing home cook who wld love to grow herbs.
Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I’ve got one of those and now I know what to do.
This channel has some great advice for gardening! Thank you 👍
This video helped so much i all of a sudden had some unions grow and wanted to save and grow my own thank you so much for this video🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Brilliant! I've had 2 sitting in my kitchen for a week, I knew I could do something with them but haven't got around to it, just kept your video running and worked alongside you, I've now got 3 new onions 😂💚 thanks for the inspiration!
Glad I could help!
Thank you for such a thorough and clear video, I appreciate you taking the time to explain this well
I am so glad I came across this channel just now. My onions just started sprouting out of nowhere so I wanna plant it Nd let them live since they wanted to start a new life and all lol
This is great. Explained completely. I'm going to do this with my kids now. I'll check back if I remember. 👌🌱
OH wow!! I have the same onion and just did what you showed!! Awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing!! Much Love from Texas!!💕💕
How am I JUST NOW FINDING YOUR VIDEOS????? You are easy to listen to, SO informative, and have amazing AMAZING tips!!! Yep, sharing these with all my gardening friends and have a lot of catching up to do! AND you have a book! Just ordered this on Amazon. Hoping for it sooner than later :)
Thank you for this wonderful and surprisingly moving presentation. I feel inspired.
I did this this late winter with a large white onion just like that one. I did not soak it in water or peel it way down like that though. It sent out a huge thick scape pretty quickly which developed a large flower/seed head. This is what I expected since the onion had already bulbed up fully once as onions do in their first season (unless they are stressed and bolt). Being a biennial onions like this one that are replanted will go to seed.
I really love experimenting with this kind of gardening. Thanks for sharing. People don’t be afraid to experiment around with vegetables!!!
Thanks, Kevin! I am new to the channel but I'm learning a lot from you!
I love regrowing things. I've definitely got to try this one!
I have one growing out now, so figured I would see what to do with it. Thank you
You are such a great teacher!
I just tried it. Thanks for your guidance. Can't wait to see what happens next.
I'm going to try this right now. This was very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Bro I never thought of growing onions but I left one too long in the kitchen and it started to sprout.
I was curious and looked it up on TH-cam, clicked on your video and loved it. I’m gonna start learning more about this. Thanks, subscribed.
Had a spouting onion and didn't want to throw him out...found your video and I followed your instructions on peeling away each layer. Discovered a bunch of roots and he is now soaking in some water to continue to root till I can get it planted. I just subscribed and want to learn more so I can pass this on to my Granddaughter.
This was the first thing that started my gardening hobby. I dug it up to see if it was growing, and then it didn't. So silly. And now I'm sitting in my lil greenhouse. It's amazing how far a couple months can take a person.
this was so interesting, and I absolutely appreciate the visual guidance. Thank you
I'm glad to see your onion sprout so big😂 I just found one this big on my pantry and planted it with your help thank you!
Thanks Kevin. I have a drawer full of these I forgot about. I'll be looking for your book and I subscribed! 😊 I live in Florida where everything grows. Plus I raise monarch butterflies. I need flowers in my garden for them. I'm playing with a wide leafed Northern milkweed. Wish me luck. They have larger leaves. They sure can eat!! Thank you for teachings on Vidalia onions. It's my tomorrow morning project. Enjoy your day. 🦋🧅🌴🐛🌻
Incredible quality here, nice to learn stuff, the image/sound quality is really great and the music choice is top notch!
I had a whole bag and even grabbed a bag at the store of Vidalia onions that looked like it was ready to sprout tomatoes do this with and I had so much fun peeling back layers. I would even find surprise sprouts inside onions that didn't have any popping out. They had even grown and swirled around inside the onion. It reminded me of the movie alien 😂😂
I'm trying this over the weekend.
This was surprisingly very interesting. Good job.
Great stuff thanks for your tutorials easy to understand and gives a good guide to caring for plants including giving them surgery to help them on their growing journey as custodians! 😊✌🌱🙏
Good to know! I have a couple of sprouting ones. Now I know what to do with them!
How are you not sniffling or crying?! I had a couple onions sprout and let them sprout to try to plant them. Trying it for the first time this morning and my eyes were burning! Never had an issue with watery eyes cutting onions. Holy cow! I had to step back for a minute because my eyes were burning so bad. Those little babies are holding all the eye-burning power!
By the way, awesome video! I feel a lot better planting them. Great, explanatory video!
The best gardening channel I have seen on TH-cam 🙏🏾
You explain
Things
So clearly.
Thank you for that info! 💗
Great video. Very informative. Thank you so much.
I got interested in plants during the pandemic, and I've made a lot of cool experiments with the allium clade. 👍
One thing I don't understand is why you plant the whole clove. I only regrow the green embryo inside into "ajos tiernos".
I've never let them grow into full garlic, but I don't see why they wouldn't. 🤔
Same with onions. I preserve the green embryos by cutting around them, and I eat the rest of the onion.
Love this video, I planted some sprouted onions about a month ago and they're struggling a bit but I'm really interested to see what happens. I'd love to see a video on harvesting these onions, if they come out with a bulb or if they end up just being good to eat the greens. Thanks!
Perfect timing I have one of these right now.
Can you do a series of videos on regrowing food the proper way? 😊
I actually watched the entire video! Thank you, you’re awesome and I’ll try my best 😅
I would LOVE to see a recap on this in the future! I planted a sprouted onion on a big pot like months ago ad it did grow some, but NOTHING else happened. I read somewhere that I should have cut the greens once or twice, but by that time it was too late, the plant had collapsed.
You know it!
I’m growing onions from the store in my kitchen window 👍🏼👍🏼
Sounds great!
sly dankass I haven’t tried celery, yet lol!
Epic Gardening you are my muse for growing our own food 👍🏼👍🏼💚🌿
Same - I wasn’t expecting the bulbs though. I’m using the greens like scallions/chives. They are very tasty on loaded potatoes!
A follow up on that particular onion would be nice.
I have an onion on my countertop with a lot of healthy green leaves growng out. I'll dissect it following your method tonight. Thanks for the video.
Wow I think I left the roots grow too long, so I will now just plant them and of course, wait for my hidden 3 bulbs to take root in water. Thank you so much. This was incredibly helpful. Have a lovely week. Regards Lee
Nice, thank you, I have a sprouting onion. Will try this method.
