How to grow green onions from leftovers?
To regrow green onions, you’ll need a cup of water, a bowl or container, and a bunch of green onions with the roots attached.
Step-by-Step Instructions.
1) Cut off the green onion tops, leaving about an inch of the onion above the root end.
2) Place the onion in your container or bowl, root-side down.
3) Fill the container with water so that the roots are submerged and the onion is sitting upright.
4) Place the container in a sunny spot and wait for new growth to appear. This could take a few days to a week.
5) Once new growth appears, you can either keep the onion in water or plant it in soil.
6) To keep the onion in water, simply change out the water every few days and trim the greens as needed.
7) To plant the onion in soil, fill a pot with fresh potting mix and plant the onion so that only the roots are buried. Water well and place in a sunny spot.
