It is always pleasant to have your house of your own. It proves you have grown up no matter how much you want to deny it. But thankfully, there is a budget-friendly opportunity to begin adult life at home. By growing green onions, I mean.
First of all, it is necessary to stop throwing the white ends away. Cut the common bunch of scallions leaving an inch from the roots. Insert the white end into the glass with water. Yes, that is the simplest way to plant the houseplant.
Put the glass near the window and wait for the results. It is necessary just to provide enough light for the plant to live. The water should be changed every couple of days to avoid sliminess. New green leaves will appear within 24 hours. It looks magical but is the biological process.
This plant may be harvested forever. It is needed to cut out the necessary amount of greens for the tacos or stir-fry dish. But do not damage the roots; they will grow continuously. 🌮
There is one key moment to pay attention to. The roots should be always in the water. If it turns to be murky, replace the water with fresh one. Never leave the plant in the slime water as it kills any plant. Clean water means fresh onions.
In the end, when the plant grows up, it might be considered to transfer it into the soil. Only a little pot of dirt will do for the plant to grow healthier. This way the onions will be thicker and more resistant. They will last longer than the water plants. It is a little step forward but with great benefits.
To conclude, this task is perfect for the busy homeowner. It takes only five seconds of efforts to get the fresh spices for eggs and salad dishes. Besides, you can show off your skills as a plant-grower. Welcome to the club. 🥗
