Regrow New Onions From Another Onion? Well, let’s find out. In this video, Part 2 of the 5-part series, we revisit the experiment from last summer where we sliced off the root end of a regular yellow onion, suspended it in water until it rooted, then planted it. In step 2, your onions have begun to send out roots and its time to plant them. This all happens fairly quickly, with video 1 and video 2 in this vlog happening within a week!

Thanks for your videos! I planted the ends and now I have a group of 4 small onions from one onion end. What do I do next? Thank you!
hi!!! did u do the part 3 of this video? I have an onion that sprouted in my counter and it has 3 different bulbs in one but I need to know how to separate them to plant!
I'm just here … liked, subscribed and "patiently' waiting on part 3.
Homeschooling my daughter and she's finally taking a "let's do it" interest in planting/replanting our foods.
We are in Florida. And she just planted some different seeds from peppers and they're sprouting. I've got no clue what I'm doing or what to expect… so thanks for your help here as she demands answers on what to do to plant this onion we are about to cut into. … hope it's ok to do this year round down here. I can always do a grow room.
I've been so curious about this. I have planted mine using the middle part. Curious if it will grow as onion ball.
I planted my onion 4-5 days ago (before I saw this video) and I might have done it incorrectly
I planted the onion slice directly in soil and just kept the soil moist. So far I have two of those new sprouts coming out of the soil
I'm tempted to bring it up and cut the excess onion from the slice like shown . Should I? or just let it sit in the soil as is .
Do you need to use such big pots for one onion?
Thank you so much for your amazing advices! I'm starting to learn about gardening and all of your videos are really helpful! I started to grow my onions and they're going great so far, they're starting to make 3-4 different plants. So I'd like to know when is the best time to separate the bulbs? I know you're going to explain this in the part 3 video but I'd just like to have an idea of the time it's going to take so I can organise better 🙂 Thanks a lot!! Love from the Dominican Republic 🙂
Wait for 4 months? Let me go to buy some in stead, they are not expansive anyway.
Thank you, it's a very useful tip! I don't know if you know about another useful thing with regard to onions, which I discovered by accident. That is to make a potent, very nutritious liquid plant feed from the water that you used to rinse an onion with.
During a time of severe water restrictions my family and I began to collect waste water to use it for the garden. We put a small plastic tub in the sink and transferred water from that into plastic buckets. We also rinsed onions under the tap before chopping it up. In this way the little bit of moisture at the cut ends ("onion juice") ended up in the buckets, mixed with the water we used to rinse the onions. After a while we noticed that if the water in the buckets were left to stand for a while, it became more and more smelly.
Natural sciences are not my strong suit, but somewhere I read that fresh onion tends to attract microbes or bacteria from the surrounding environment. It certainly seems that something mysterious happened when we left water that had even a little bit of onion juice in it standing overnight. The water became more and more smelly and cloudy, and plants thrived on it, they were so clearly revitalized.
Since then we've been using it regularly, since we eat onions with practically every meal. At the moment we are considering utilizing it on a larger scale so that more plants could benefit.
It helps that we've never cleaned the buckets — it creates the ideal "breeding" environment for the onion water microbes. The smellier the water becomes, the more nutritious it seems to be.
It's no use dropping actual onion pieces into the bucket — that just creates a particularly revolting smell without noticeably affecting the water it is floating in. It's the juice (even just a tiny bit of it) that is able to turn the entire bucketful of water into potent liquid plant feed.
Wishing you all the best!!
I use the greens as chives.
They have a good flavor.
Wish their roots didn't get so big.
Did I miss the final videos for this vlog? Or did they just not turn out??
Dude, this (and the first one in this vlog) is quite possibly the most informative and easy to follow video I've ever watched. As far as skimming the web trying to find quick tips on doing something, this was a gem of a find! Thanks.
Is there Part 3? I planted too and never splitted the tops. It’s been 4 months now, not sure if they will give onions because I did not separate them?
How long does it take to grow that onion? Waiting on part 3
I really loves how. This guy talks. In every video. He brings he unique way. To talk and shows us how. To plant some plants.
Any updates?? I just put my in a gallon pot. I’m curious to see what the next step(s) look like!
Is there any update on how they're doing?
It's been a Year Already! Did it grow Bulbs or Not?
@The Ripe Tomato Farms Hey man, so I have read through the comments and see several "where's the 3 video?" comments. I too am curious about a continuation video. It's been longer than a year since you posted this video, and I know that the onions in this video have grown and gone way before now. So from all of us, that have been following this, you kinda owe it to your viewers to finish out this 5 part series. I humbly urge you to make the next vid showing us how to separate double and triple bulbs. It is really important to us that you do, especially where some of us may have recently planted those tops a few days ago. Please at least reach out to us and give us a reply/update of whether or not you even intend to finish this out with us my dude. Thank you and best regards.
My onion cuttings are not growing roots after many weeks. No sign of growth. No sprouts. I live in Canada and the onions were from USA. Could they have been irradiated?
Video #3 is now up! https://youtu.be/acd4U0Pw2Zs Time to divide those multi-headed onions if you haven't already!
Hey how long did you leave the nursery pots containing the onion immersed in water?
I'm a little turned off with the way he speaks. oof, migraine.
