Onion is an essential condiment in our lives and can also be eaten as a vegetable. Green onions are relatively cold-resistant, have strong ability to adapt to the environment, and are not very heat-tolerant. They have a wide planting range and are widely cultivated at home and abroad. Moreover, green onions not only have edible value, but can also be used as medicine. Many pot friends want to plant some at home. Let’s teach you how to propagate them.

Onion planting method

Onion planting method

This method only requires choosing a suitable flower pot and putting some soil. You can also use tools or your fingers to dig a small hole in the soil, about 20 to 30 mm deep. Put 4 to 5 seeds in the hole, and put a few seeds at intervals. After they are all put, pour an appropriate amount of water and put them on the balcony. This method is relatively simple to do, but we need to purchase onion seeds, and the germination will be very slow, so this method is not recommended.

Onion root method

This kind The method is that green onions will grow very quickly and it is very easy to operate. When buying onions, we should pay attention to choosing some that are fresh, with relatively good root growth and must have roots. It would be better if there is mud on them. The specific method is to cut off the green onion root and a small piece of green onion white together, and plant it into the soil. Remember to leave part of the green onion white outside, so that it will survive more easily. After planting, pour the appropriate amount of water, and you will see mature onions in a few weeks.

Onion seedling method

This kind The method is just to buy some relatively fresh and healthy onion seedlings, then plant them directly in the pots, and water them appropriately after planting. This method can be used to pick green onion leaves and eat them at any time. Note that if you want to eat the onion stems, you need to use scissors to cut off the part above the soil so that the onions can continue to grow.
