Regrowing Green Onions in Water vs Soil 

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

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!

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.

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

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 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.

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 😂

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

Circle of life.

They grow so fast!

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?

Absolutely.

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 🙏🏼

Thanks very helpful

I'm a photography stylist so positioning objects is a specialty of mine 😂

Tried it. But they rot I'm the water 😢

No

Mold has always been my problem

allium just won't die, and many common pests hate their smell

Thank you 😊

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

Oya

How'd it go

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.

Me too🙋🏽‍♀️

Not the plant pee 💀

I have a wall garden vid on my page that goes over how I made it

Welcome 😊

I have a couple on TikTok but they're probably too long to reupload as a RU-vid Short. Basically I keep soil covered with aquarium gravel. It drastically reduces the chances of them getting in there and laying eggs

It’s an ok temporary solution but there’s so many disadvantages to the water method

I'm gonna guess it's easy

They definitely don't grow here in winter it gets to -40 degrees

😱

I think we'd be surprised how many people think of these as food but never once considered that they're plants.

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 🌷🌷

Really

Condensation waters them

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

Well, idk about height, but the ones grown in soil are clearly thicker and have a darker green colour

Yeah I mean...what did they think they were coming from??
