»How To Regrow Green Onions«
After a given proper period of harvesting spring onions, they can be used as seeds to grow new onions for continuous production.
Green onions which are also known as scallions or spring onions grow long hollow green leaves which are harvested instead of bulbs. Cut off the stems for regrow, fill containers with water and submerge cut stems keeping tops above.
Regrowing process
As next day the stems start to grow and new roots appear in 3 days, change water every 2-3 days for the best results and new roots form in a week time. At day 8, shoot grows significantly at 0.5 inches per day just in water and after a few weeks, flavour and vinegar of plant wanes.
Similarly for planting in the soil, leave stems for 3 weeks or less after you place them in water as root caps and apical meristems need to be strong to go through soil to anchor the plant and begin functioning.
Always make sure your cuttings are viable and soils should be light airy, granular with high organic matter and hold moisture as well. As spacing is not much important in growing spring onions in soil planting, put in a container, make holes, place seedlings at desired depth and pack soil around it.
Finally before planting, water the soil or water from below the container for soil to hold enough water.
