After making a salad one day, I was left with the white parts of five spring onions. The onions came with their roots mostly chopped off, but some roots remained attached, which gave me hope. Here is the "before":
Spring onions, before. |
I put the glass with the onions on the window sill that got the most sunshine during the day and left them alone for eight days. I didn't even bother changing the water. At first, there was no noticeable growth. But after a few days, some new green tips began to appear. It was working after all! But the growth was so slow, I thought that there was no way any significant amount of onion would re-grow in a reasonable amount of time. Turns out I was wrong. Once the green shoots started sprouting, they continued growing at a faster pace every day. Here they are, eight days later, tall and green:

It was truly a miracle in the kitchen! Of course, no science experiment is complete until you
Spring onions grew new roots in water! |
All in all, I am calling this kitchen science experiment a success.
That's CRAZY! I'm so trying this.
ReplyDeleteThis is super amazing . You can also do it with avocado seeds... and once you've got them with roots, you can plant them outside :)
ReplyDeleteOh really? That's awesome! Live and learn. :)
