#21: Regrow Big Onion From Kitchen Cutting

  1. 🌱 Big Onion
Regrow Onion Kitchen

Cut one inch from the bottom, peel off the brown skin.

In #13, I dry it overnight, but the onion looks dry by now and didn't grow roots or sprout. I decide to dip it into water without drying this time.

Suspend the onion on a water container, where the bottom 1cm is dipped in water.

I put it near the balcony door, shady with no direct sunlight.

Problem

The onion shrink slightly and dip itself entirely in the water container. I am worry that it might rot like the pak choy, so it switch to another container with smaller opening.

Problem Experiment

The onion is drying out with no sign of new roots or sprouts.

I decide to experiment with dipping the onion in water (let it float) without any assisted suspension.

Experiment Problem

Letting the onion float on water doesn't seems to help. Getting brown and dry by the day.

Problem Dying

Water turned murky easily, and bubble appears. No sign of life.
