Full guide + regrowing green onions tips here: www.epicgardening.com/regrow-green-onions/

I planted an onion like that, & never grew full bulbs, but it became like a massive, giant green onion. I tried them once in dinner, & they were pretty good. It grew flowers & attracted butterflies, which was cool.

“Well, it hasn’t gone bad, in fact it’s trying to live again” I’m crying 😢

Followed these instructions, only got one little plant with one really long root haha, but he's a stubborn guy who's been growing in my pantry for like 3 months, so I think he deserves new life! Soaking him in water now, named him Herbert.

The real miracle here is that you were able to peel all those layers without crying. Respect.

I left 2 yellow onions in my raised bed and they turned into 10 sprouts. I left them longer till the skin was almost breaking. Separated them by pulling them apart. Replanted and are tall, strong, and regrowing well. 😉

I love this! Rewatching again and what resonates for me is the "we don't grow plants.. they grow themselves." "we're there to steward & shepherd them in their journey." it makes me sigh a deep sigh of relief

You know ... while I was trying to let the onion live again, it reminded me to live life to the fullest. It's funny how a damn onion can teach me life lessons. Anyway, very happy to chance upon your channel Sir! Many more potting awaits!

This is exactly what I needed. My red onions got some sprouts and I got a little sad because where I live, red onions are a little pricier. Thank you. I am going to use this!

ooh this is really interesting! would you consider doing a follow-up video whenever these are coming out of the soil down the line? i'm really interested to see how they turn out!

I did this last year with some red and brown onions that sprouted in my pantry. Took aaages, but I had no idea what I was doing at the time, so I’m pretty happy that I got 4-5 browns and two small red onions out of that. Have just used and re-sprouted one of the browns for a second time. Was so excited when I saw them forming proper bulbs! 😁

I knew there’d be a video on how to do this on Epic Gardening. Perfect explanation. Thanks Kevin. You’re the best!

I should be studying but let me watch this onion grow real quick.

had half a white onion sprouting in the fridge, placed it in some water and eventually some dirt, and it grew into maybe 5+ onions that I later separated and replanted. Onions are so cool and easy to grow/regrow and it's nice when you dig them up and get extra ones to replant or sets and seeds from the ones that flower.

What a treasure you are! I love sharing your videos with my grandkids. You are our new science teacher!

LITERALLY noticed an onion sprouting in my pantry today, time to do this

I would love to see what the onions look like when it’s time to harvest, and what you get! I’m a first time gardener. I just put scraps of onions in bowls. I am hoping to get new leeks and onions, but I don’t know what I will get. Your comment about carrots was enlightening. I thought the carrot top would grow a new carrot

I was worried about my onion growing in my pantry and this video has taught me a lot. I showed this video to my neighbor and now he is relieved about his onion growing in his house also. Thank you for this video!!

I have one currently growing in my fridge, so this is really helpful. One thing I forget where I learned from, onions are bi anual plants, which means they naturally dies after two years. The first year they sprout from seeds at spring, then grow leaves and a bulb. Throughout the year the bulb accumulates sugar and grow into a full size onion. When winter comes the leaves wilt, leaving the bulb to overwinter underground and sprout the second spring. Then in the second year, the bulb will use all that accumulated energy to sprout, grow leaves, and very shortly sent out flower and grow seeds. Soon after the seeds mature, the whole plant just wilt away. So it really isn't very realistic to hope for another giant bulb when you replant. On the other hand tho, the leaves are edible and teste like spring onions, plus the flower looks really cool if you could get it to flower.

Thank you so much for all the detail! I could not find any info to tell me how deeply to plant them… your thorough explanations are SO appreciated!

Ooh my gosh!!! This makes more sense what happened to my grocery onion I tried growing. I cut and divided them, but didn't know I had to root them in water first. I just planted them, the white part was buried in the soil. And it was fine for about 2 months. Then it slowly started to wither and then it disappeared. I guess it really did die. Thanks for making this video, I now know what to do next time when I get growing onions!

I grow all my onions from bulbs because in Canada where i am located (zone 3) I would need to plant seeds SO early in the season and have grow lights on for months. Bulbs are a lot easier option Gardening here in colder climates! Thanks for the video! such an inspiration for us small time youtubers

I wish you could just come take a class from you and learn everything hands on.

I really appreciate your no BS approach, thank you!

I honestly LOVE peeling onions! It’s so satisfying!

thankyou for being so thorough, This is a step I need to take care of now I can do it with confidence 😇

01:51 😂 "Journey to the center of the onion" 💅💅

I am NEW to gardening vegetables. I just started regrowing a few items, and onions are something I use a lot. This video is going to help. Thank you SO much!

Perfect timing, I put a onions root ball into a cup of water last week and now I got two nice sprouts and a decent amount of root growth. I was about to Google what to do next and you actually solve that problem for me thank you

Thanks for taking the time to do this video. I’ve got one of those and now I know what to do.

@ 0:37 - So true, thank you! They make up these hacks that don't work or leave you with no next steps and false expectations. I am a new fan of yours please do a video for small apt herb gardening. I have no idea where to start but I am an amazing home cook who wld love to grow herbs.

thank you for this video. Initially, I just put the whole onion in the ground. lol. I see I was wrong. I dug them back up, peeled them separated them, and put them in my grow bag. I'm learning a lot from you. Thank you so much. I also picked up your book recently. I didn't think I could grow anything. my first harvest was microgreens. I'm inspired to keep trying and growing.

How are you not sniffling or crying?! I had a couple onions sprout and let them sprout to try to plant them. Trying it for the first time this morning and my eyes were burning! Never had an issue with watery eyes cutting onions. Holy cow! I had to step back for a minute because my eyes were burning so bad. Those little babies are holding all the eye-burning power! By the way, awesome video! I feel a lot better planting them. Great, explanatory video!

This is one of the first videos that I ever really sat and watched. I looked it up because I had a sprouted onion. I come from a long line of farmers and I never knew this. The internet is marvelous. I love your philosophy, "We don't grow plants, they grow themselves."

Had a spouting onion and didn't want to throw him out...found your video and I followed your instructions on peeling away each layer. Discovered a bunch of roots and he is now soaking in some water to continue to root till I can get it planted. I just subscribed and want to learn more so I can pass this on to my Granddaughter.

Thanks. Great for anyone learning plant biology. You’ve got the best attitude. (Maybe because I just watched ‘the news’!)

You are a gift to us from God. Thanks again for showing how waste isn't necessary, and against everything nature stands for lol.

Thank you for a great onion lesson!

I'm trying this over the weekend.

This was surprisingly very interesting. Good job.

You sound like such an awesome science teacher!!! Thank you, was at first just curious about my onion then became super intrigued by your explanation!

This is great. Explained completely. I'm going to do this with my kids now. I'll check back if I remember. 👌🌱

You are such a great teacher!

Very cool! Wish you had made this video a month ago when I tossed the whole onion into a pot and buried it. It's rotting now. LOL! BTW, I think it'd be really great when you do videos like this that you show examples of how they look after you grow them out. Khang Starr does a really good job of time lapsing the stuff he grows and so it gives us a really great visual of how things look as the plant progresses. :)

What perfect timing this video was! I was just looking at a sprouted onion and a couple of sprouted shallots wondering what I can do with them besides throw them out to compost. Excellent tutorial. I now have 4 sprouts from one sweet onion prepped and in water, hopefully to root, along with 3 from 2 shallots. Fingers crossed!

I am in love with how you explained everything

I love your tiktoks and was looking for help on youtube getting my veggie garden going so I was very happy to find this video. It was clear and helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I have one growing out now, so figured I would see what to do with it. Thank you

This channel has some great advice for gardening! Thank you 👍

I've been growing the same onion in a container for the last three years! Glad to see your post! 😊

This video helped so much i all of a sudden had some unions grow and wanted to save and grow my own thank you so much for this video🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

THANK YOU! It was honestly harder than I thought to find a decent video on this. And today I planted my first sprouts🌱😁if I didn't know what to do properly 🤦‍♀️I almost threw them away. As I saw mold but kept peeling and the look beautiful with a few inches of root! I'm soooo hopeful for this. Thanks again!

Looking at utilizing my "scraps" to jumpstart my spring garden and came upon this video as I'm figuring out what to to with what I'm finding while spring cleaning. Thank you for stating where you would bury the bulb to. Very helpful. Had not seen that in a video like this yet.

Good to know! I have a couple of sprouting ones. Now I know what to do with them!

OH wow!! I have the same onion and just did what you showed!! Awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing!! Much Love from Texas!!💕💕

I had half an onion sitting in my fridge and I was about to toss it when I noticed something green starting to grow out of it. So I put it on top of a glass of water because my mom sent me a picture saying to do that with a full onion and now it's growing like crazy. It's only been like 4 days and the roots are at least 6 inches. Wish I could share a picture considering its half an onion lol but after seeing your video, I'm kinda convinced to get rid of the other half and plant the child. Although the water in the cup seems to be doing an amazing job. Not sure how it'd react to the transplant.

It's so hilarious that you did this video today because today we found two of our onions sprouting this way and I had never seen this happen before. This video is right on time!

Thank you for such a thorough and clear video, I appreciate you taking the time to explain this well

I started a couple onions today, they are fresh from the store but I cut it about 2/3 of the way down and I'm suspending it in some water with toothpicks. Hopefully it works otherwise I'll just be doing it this way. Thanks for all the amazing and super informative videos!! Happy growing everyone

I actually watched the entire video! Thank you, you’re awesome and I’ll try my best 😅

I really love the way you really get in there an give a full and professional learning video for beginning growing food thank u 4 ur video

If only I could post a picture of what I just found in my pantry!!! Lol this was super helpful! Thank you!!

Wouldn't the bulb think it's a 2nd year plant and go to flower? I've been reading a lot on this with onions, and they don't get to a very big size as a result. It would be great for seeds, but not sure about the actual onion usability. I'm still learning, as the most I've planted is chives and spring onions.

I love regrowing things. I've definitely got to try this one!

I'm going to try this right now. This was very interesting. Thank you for sharing.

This is so cool. I just got fifteen bulbs from four eager storage onions. I planted them outside.

I got interested in plants during the pandemic, and I've made a lot of cool experiments with the allium clade. 👍 One thing I don't understand is why you plant the whole clove. I only regrow the green embryo inside into "ajos tiernos". I've never let them grow into full garlic, but I don't see why they wouldn't. 🤔 Same with onions. I preserve the green embryos by cutting around them, and I eat the rest of the onion.

OK, done. One rotting onion had two plants in it, the other had three. I would have sworn the onions were too rotten to save, but no, there were pretty and clean plants inside. They are in water now, so let's see what happens. Thanks.

“Journey to the center of the onion….” Love it!

Thanks for the tip! I have two pieces in the water at the moment.

I am so glad I came across this channel just now. My onions just started sprouting out of nowhere so I wanna plant it Nd let them live since they wanted to start a new life and all lol

I have an onion on my countertop with a lot of healthy green leaves growng out. I'll dissect it following your method tonight. Thanks for the video.

The best gardening channel I have seen on KZfaq 🙏🏾

I always sprout my onions. But I learned something new today. Thanks

Thanks Kevin. I have a drawer full of these I forgot about. I'll be looking for your book and I subscribed! 😊 I live in Florida where everything grows. Plus I raise monarch butterflies. I need flowers in my garden for them. I'm playing with a wide leafed Northern milkweed. Wish me luck. They have larger leaves. They sure can eat!! Thank you for teachings on Vidalia onions. It's my tomorrow morning project. Enjoy your day. 🦋🧅🌴🐛🌻

I'm doing everything you show me for the first time. Need to buy your book.

I'm glad to see your onion sprout so big😂 I just found one this big on my pantry and planted it with your help thank you!

My mom bought a new aloe Vera plant. But when I inspected it, I was able to see it wasn’t 1 plant. It were actually 7 plants, it had 6 offshoots/runners.

Have an onion doing this now. Came across your video about re-growing. Excited to try this out. This will be a cool winter project.

You explain Things So clearly.

I just tried it. Thanks for your guidance. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Thanks for showing those little roots growing inside, convinced me to peel them instead of planting it whole.

I really love experimenting with this kind of gardening. Thanks for sharing. People don’t be afraid to experiment around with vegetables!!!

I know it’s spring and I’m sure you have a lot of videos lined up but I have a question. My apartment has a balcony that gets about 4 to 5 hours of sun, could you do a video or point me in the direction of an article/video showing veggies that grow in shade/sun. Thanks for your content!

Hey, Kevin. Just watched your video about regrowing onions from onions! Gotta say I greatly appreciate your instructions, explanations & info- you don't just say"put it in water!" Glad you have your book in the shot. I have it, it's my new generation "Crockett's Victory Garden"!, easy to use, informative & applicable to my needs as a growing urban gardener! 🌱🌻🌿🙂 thx

Just ordered your book from Amazon. I’ve watched you for a few years now and have learned so much and been inspired so many times. I felt it was time I gave a little payback💖✨💞💫💝 Thank you !

Can you follow up on this video please? How did the onions do?

this was so interesting, and I absolutely appreciate the visual guidance. Thank you

I appreciate you undoing it without fast forwarding lol because I'm unpeeling mine at the same time

How am I JUST NOW FINDING YOUR VIDEOS????? You are easy to listen to, SO informative, and have amazing AMAZING tips!!! Yep, sharing these with all my gardening friends and have a lot of catching up to do! AND you have a book! Just ordered this on Amazon. Hoping for it sooner than later :)

Can you do a series of videos on regrowing food the proper way? 😊

Thank you for teaching me what to do with my onions.

I just found one in my cupboard, and my first thought was Epic Gardening will tell me what to do! And here it is. Lol

We just buried our red onion a few days ago. I didn't think about peeling more layers to check how many shoots can be in there. I have never seen onions bloom flowers before so that's another thing to look forward to. Thanks for the tip!!

you know, i don't normally hit the bell. but considering the subject matter, that i'm earnestly trying to get into gardening as someone who desperately needs to go outside, that i'm trying to save energy and money as a young adult, and that this channel is very no-BS and doesn't appear to do clickbait at a glance, i think you're my first exception. looking forward to seeing more from you, keep up the good work.

Thank you for that info! 💗

Love this! Now I know what to do with this overgrown onion👍

Thank you this is exactly what my sprouted onions looked like. And just realized I HAVE YOUR BOOK!!! Didn't even know. Just unpacked sitting right on headboard lol Excited to crack it open

Wow I think I left the roots grow too long, so I will now just plant them and of course, wait for my hidden 3 bulbs to take root in water. Thank you so much. This was incredibly helpful. Have a lovely week. Regards Lee

I love every single video you make. Always informative, enjoy the simple and to the point commentary all the while keeping viewers engaged. But the biggest appreciation of all is having confidence you leave nothing out for beginner gardeners. Thank you for that! And of course you’re quite nice to look at lol 😆
