Hi everyone and welcome to the channel! In this video I'll be re-growing green onions which I
purchased at a grocery store. To regrow these plants, we will need full onions, the green
leaves at the top cannot regrow. Instead, it is that white bulb section at the bottom which has
roots coming from it already, that we can regrow multiple times. Growing this plant could not be
easier- you can cut the onion anywhere you want and that bottom section will begin to grow new
leaves immediately. I like to cut my plants at least 1 full inch up from the root system, but
you can really do whatever you want. When deciding what size plant is best, it's important to
consider how you will be re-growing your plants. I plan to put these plants in these small glass jars
and want them to be long and tall enough that they can reach up out of the jar. I'll be experimenting
with 3 growing methods to see what works best. First up is a jar of tap water. You can simply
put these onions in tap water and new leaves will start to grow. Next up, we have soil. Green onions
grow well in both containers and the ground. We simply need to bury these onions about 1 inch
deep and give them two inches of spacing between plants. Water these bulbs after planting and again
as necessary. In our third and final method, I'll be using tap water in a jar once again,
but this time adding hydroponic nutrients. I'm covering this jar with a cloth, as I don't want
too much light to get into my nutrients, as this will cause algae to grow. From here,
we just need some sunlight. It's recommended that green onions get 6 to 7 hours of sunlight each
da,y although they will grow with less. The more light you can get your plant, the quicker it will
grow. Just one day later, we can already see clear signs of growth. New leaves are beginning to grow
from the inside, middle of the plant, pushing themselves upwards and outwards. In just one
week these plants will grow a tremendous amount. Here we are on day seven- you can see that all
of these methods have grown quite substantially. The hydroponic nutrient solution on the left has
produced probably the best results, as that plant is pretty big at this point. Our middle method of
just tap water has grown the least of these three setups. Although these onions will grow with just
water, the leaves and the plants will thin out and have less taste as we continue to regrow
them. The plants need a way to absorb an intake nutrients, whether that's through a hydroponic
nutrient solution or the soil. From here we can harvest the leaves as we need them. The plant will
regrow itself three to four times, particularly if it's in soil or a nutrient solution and it will
come back as strong as it was the first time. Of the three methods I've tried here in this video,
I think growing with hydroponic nutrients is my favorite. I've found that keeping soil inside
can attract bugs, so I don't love that method. And although growing with just water is simple
and great, I find that with nutrients my third and fourth grows taste a lot better. I find it's
best to let roots develop for a few days and then move these plants into a net cup the net
cup will allow these roots to have access to water and nutrients inside of my reservoir and
I add a few clay pebbles to help keep out the light. I'm using the advanced nutrients micro,
grow and bloom solutions, as they're really easy to mix and never require pH balancing.
Here we are again just one day after I cut these plants down for the second time there's already an
inch or two of growth on some of these stalks. Green onions are incredibly easy to regrow and
you can get three to five harvests out of a single plant. This is an incredible way to
save some money and get fresher ingredients for your foods. Thanks a lot for watching and be sure
to let me know in the comments what your favorite method is to grow green onions. happy harvesting!
