#22: Grow Red Onion From Kitchen

  1. 🌱 Red Onion

The is only one red onion left in the kitchen, and it is a twin onion. The onion doesn't look fresh, so I have my doubt.

I saw a cool DIY video make use of a plastic bottle to grow red onion in water.

I put it indoor next to a window.

Experiment with fertilizer in water by putting in a small amount of humus.

Seems to be doing well (at least no side effects) after 1 week in the diluted humus fertilizer.

After 80 days, I believe this plant has grown beyond its peak.
