Your Step-by-Step Guide to Cultivating Green Onions

Prepare Your Bulbs: Choose green onion bulbs that have their roots. If you’re repurposing bulbs from store-bought green onions, retain about an inch of the onion stem above the roots when cutting.

Towel Setup: Dampen your kitchen or paper towel until it’s moist throughout but not overly wet. Lay it flat in your chosen shallow dish or tray.

Plant Your Onions: Position the bulbs on the moist towel, ensuring the roots are in direct contact with the moisture. The bulbs should be upright but not covered.

Find the Perfect Spot: Choose a location with plenty of indirect sunlight, such as a kitchen counter or windowsill that’s well-lit but not directly in the sun’s path. Light and warmth will encourage the onions to grow

Watch Them Grow: In just a few days, you’ll witness the magic of growth as new green shoots start to appear from the bulbs. Maintain the towel’s moisture by adding water when necessary to keep it consistently damp.
