If you want to grow green onions in the winter right in your home, try this quick method! Onions take root and begin to sprout in just 3-7 days.
YOU NEED:
-onion bulbs, 2-4 cm in diameter or chives;
– loose substrate (sawdust, peat or coconut fiber substrate);
-Water;
-a thick plastic bag or bag (you can shape the bag with thick film).
PROCEDURE:
1. Buy onion bulbs from the market, as the ones in supermarkets are mostly treated with compounds, which prevent them from sprouting. Look for their base: it should not be smooth, but have shorter or longer whiskers.
Onion bulbs should be whole, hard, without lesions and traces of mold.
2. Place 4-5cm of wet substrate at the bottom of the plastic bag/bag.
3. Cut a crosswise circle from the top of each onion bulb to speed up the growth of the tails. Then place the onion bulbs on the prepared substrate: compact, whiskers down.
4. Place the bag with onion bulbs in a bright place with a temperature of 15-25°C. Do not allow excessive drying of the substrate.
5.In 2-3 weeks you will get long and juicy green onion tails!
6. If you want, you can plant 4-5 onions every 7 days, so you always have green onions!
Happy gardening!
