A simple and eco-friendly way to grow green onions, a delicious and versatile ingredient, is to use water instead of soil. This easy method saves you time and money. Follow these steps:
Pick Healthy Green Onions: Look for green onions with intact roots that are bright and fresh. You can buy them from the store or use the ones you have in your fridge.
Cut and Keep: Slice off the top of the green onion, leaving about 3-5 cm from the root. You can cook with the sliced part or save it for later crops.
Get a Container: Use a glass or plastic container like a jar, bottle, or glass. Fill it with water, leaving 2-3 cm of space. Add a few drops of liquid houseplant fertilizer to the water to help the onions grow well.
Put the Onions in the Water: Make sure the roots of the green onions are in the water and the green part is above it. Put the container on a windowsill that gets enough sunlight. You can use more containers to grow more green onions.
Change the Water Regularly: Replace the water in the container every 2-3 days to keep it clean. Check the water level to avoid it getting too low or high. Use fertilizer once a week or as needed.
Watch Them Grow: See the green onions get thicker and longer. Pick them when they are as long as you want, or let them keep growing. You can use the cut green onions for cooking or put them back in water for more crops.
