From the next time whenever you buy a bunch of green onions, don’t throw away their root part. You can use these to regrow your own green onions from scrap.

Growing Green Onions in Water

  1. Chop up the onion leaves but save the bulbs with at least an inch of green part left above them.

  2. Take a transparent, clean jar or glass through which sunlight can penetrate easily. Fill it half with water and put those bulbs in it with the roots facing down. You can put as many bulbs you want in the glass but don’t cram that up.

  3. Place the glass on a warm and sunny windowsill that receives at least four hour of sunlight. Remember to change water every other day, within two-three days, you’ll see the roots growing and shoots forming.

Harvest

After a week or two your onion bulbs will sprout up plenty of young green leaves of about 6 to 8 inches. You can chop them off as much you want and leave them again in the jar so that they’ll regrow again. This way you can harvest green onions 2-3 times.
