Q & A

Why should I replant green onions instead of buying them from the store?

Replanting green onions allows you to have fresh, home-grown onions that don't wilt as quickly as store-bought ones. It's also more cost-effective in the long run and ensures that you always have a steady supply of fresh green onions for cooking.

What should I do if the green onions I bought start to wilt or yellow?

If your green onions start to wilt or turn yellow, replant them in a pot with nutritious soil. This way, they can start growing again, giving you fresh green onions whenever you need them.

How long does it take for re-planted green onions to start growing?

It takes about 5 days for the green onions to start showing visible growth, and in around 15 days, you should be able to harvest enough green onions for your meals.

Can I replant green onions in any type of container?

You can replant green onions in most containers, as long as they have drainage holes. If the container doesn’t have drainage, you’ll need to make holes yourself to ensure excess water can escape and prevent root rot.

How deep should I plant the roots of green onions?

The roots of green onions should be planted about 1 cm below the surface of the soil. This ensures that the roots have enough space to grow while staying close to the surface to encourage healthy shoots.

What kind of soil should I use for planting green onions?

For green onions, it’s best to use a well-draining, nutritious soil or a substrate specially designed for vegetable plants. This will support healthy growth and provide the nutrients needed for quick development.

How often should I water the green onions after replanting them?

You should water the green onions every day to keep the soil moist. Green onions thrive in consistently damp soil, but make sure not to overwater as it can cause the roots to rot.

What can I do if I don’t have time to water the green onions every day?

If you don't have time to water daily, consider using an auto-irrigating pot, which can keep the plant hydrated for 5 to 6 days. Alternatively, you can make your own auto-irrigating pot using a simple plastic bottle, as demonstrated in other tutorials on this channel.

Is it necessary to fertilize the soil when growing green onions?

Yes, it’s a good idea to occasionally fertilize the soil to replenish the nutrients that the roots absorb over time. You can add fresh, nutrient-rich soil or use organic fertilizer to maintain the soil’s health.

Can I grow green onions in smaller pots, or do they need large containers?

Green onions can thrive in smaller pots, as long as there is enough space for the roots to spread. A pot with a diameter of at least 10-15 cm can comfortably accommodate a few plants. If you want to grow more, you may need a larger container.
