I was under the impression that only green onions can be harvested from it. Now I know that one needs to spread them and replant them. This is new and useful information that I have learned today. Thanks so much.
I subscribed to you @trouble ent
I had the same impression. Just learnt something new.
I see it thats is why my union doesnt grew bigger it because it is buried deep
Me too ... at first i thought the green ones is the only thing that i can harvest
I will try for sure...tq for ur information
I know a lot about growing. I’m a country girl, and I’ve studied plants many hours. This video taught me more and is very well presented.
take a ekstra look, to me they look like mutiplyers\potatoonions\shallots
And hard as rocks.@@janericvelure6883
Take a rest buddy go and study about basal plate of bulb 😂 LoL
I tried this method and it does work. 5/21/23. Thank you.
Great to know that it worked for you. You're welcome.
I WILL try this method how to for I can plant Bombay Onions
Me too I will tried this method
Thank you for your 150-days experiment and your detailed results. Many presenters lack all the footage details of their work. You have everything....even the possible errors that can be made and how to avoid or mitigate them. Excellent indeed! You taught me something so I will go look for onions to start my journey to never having to buy onions again.

Thanks for showing how to actually get the real onion and not just chives. Thank you so much. Really appreciate.
My pleasure 😊. Glad that you find it useful.
You welcome much love
You are very smart man Obi,I will try this for onion to add to soup. May your harvests be great my friend.
So nice of you. Thank you very much.

I bless you? who the fk are you God? If you're going to be a religious nut at least say it right...Jesus bless you...God bless you..
But you don't have anything you're not god.
This was an excellent video. You planned it out for nearly 6 months! You showed the growth over time, what to do and not to do, and showed the difference between dividing and not dividing, and how they grow in different environments. Thank you so much for your thorough information!
It's always a pleasure to share. Thanks for your support.

You did not indicate the conditions necessary for germination, must it be planted in a container or can also be planted on lawn please help out thanks
@@margareteyo9878 I think you can transplant it to a garden. I am currently trying it out now and it works. I live in grow zone 3, so we have lots of snow snd temp can reach -40C here. I first tried his bottled meter. I tried to stop the onions from sinking, and they did. But they are rotted out. So O started a new batch. But because I wanted to start all of them alike, everything I cut the bottoms during cooking, I saved them in a zip lock bag and put tiny water in the bag, just to prevent dehydration. I kept the bag by the door of the fridge. This went on for about 3 weeks to 1 month. When I checked them before planting them out, they were already showing bumps and bulges. I transplanted them into a pitting mix in a bowl together, and they are sputing green leaves now. Very few are rotting and moldy, but majority are sprouting. I am doing all this inside the house. I am not using any special heat and my house is not the warmest in winter. I just put them close to a bright window for sunlight during the day. That it. We have a short growing season, so starting now for me is good. I will follow it and probably post the update. Thank you for the video. Very helpful.
@@onlinethings9238 please share the update as it goes
If you can get this many onions from 1, it's gonna be a bountiful harvest if I grow more. Thanks for sharing.
You bet
These are the type of videos the world needs. Thank you my good Sir for this video and keep up the great work.

I agree with what you said. He really took the time to demonstrate the right and wrong way of growing onions. I really appreciated this video as onions are so darn expensive. Well done. He has got me hooked.
Amazing technique to multiply the onions.
Separation of onion bulbs to grow bigger size is an eye opener for many of us... 🙏
Son, this is amazing. I just pitched a bunch of onion 🧅 bulb that I kept in my refrigerator. I should have just started them like this. I probably have 200-300 onions growing in my little greenhouse. I'm going to propagate them trying your way.
There's so much joy I'm feeling from watching this
Finally counting 21 onions made my day... 😅
I really like how you include footage and explanations about what happens if you do it the "wrong" way. Like with the water bottle and separation of bulbs.
Thanks for sharing this.we need new ways of thinking today.continue discovering more and touching humanity.
Ingenious

Best onion growing video I’ve seen. Very informative.
What is interesting is that "Size Matters" and some of us have only one or two mouths to feed. That means that more often than not a large onion has to be halved and sometimes even quartered for a meal then the the rest wrapped in something hopefully protective and placed in the refrigerator where it sits "Until Needed". This gives what appears to be an abundant supply of fresh onions that wait in the garden where they should be until you actually need them. If you space your plantings out so there's always new ones coming into their peak of freshness as you use up the old(er) ones that are are fading, this method should workout just fine.
We eat a lot of onions! Add it nearly in every dish or soup. Not the KFS and/or McDonald/hot dogs or so((((
Far more comprehensive than expected. Great job.
Thanks

this is the most detailed video you can find in youtube on how to plant onions. Great video deserves more views.
Been doing this for years with all varieties of onion leeks etc. Works really well. And the thing I would add to this is instead of digging up the onion then replanting the root vase, I use a very sharp knife to carefully cut the onion out leaving the base in place for it to grow the next batch. It doesn't always work but I'd say 8 out of 10 times it's successful. And most of the time you get twice the amount too. Definitely worth following the instructions in this video. I've even tried doing this growing the onions in nothing but water with just the roots sat in the water and the growing onion raised above it. I've managed to grow some onions doing this, but quite small. I just need to adjust any additives or feed I use until I get it right. This should result in bigger onions once I get it right. This video also works for garlic.
Happy to read about your success story. Some people think it's fake. Looking forward to reading more about your experiment and results.
@Dr. OBi's Garden I would love to be able to set up a camera that takes footage over the whole growing time and upload it to show it works. It wouldn't surprise me if somebody already has, but I've not come across any yet. I think the easiest one to do are spring onions, which grow a lot quicker and after 3 weeks with the roots dangling in a glass of water they will get a good 3 or 4 inches of growth, that's without even planting them yet! Hydroponics seems like a good way to grow onions, I've seen a lot of TV shows where they have vast water farms with things like onions lettuces etc planted through a floating 'oasis' type material with onky the roots sat in the water, with fish living in the water to both clean the water and add nutrition back in to it, a bit like why they add fish species in to rice paddy fields for similar reasons. Like I said, I've managed to grow a few smaller onions in nothing but water.
There's lots of different ways to grow things, and it's only by experimenting that you find these ways. I only discovered this way shown in the video to regrow onions because after I threw some onion bottoms away in to my compost heap, after a few days the ones on top had grown really long roots where it was sat in the damp (it had been raining a lot) and the shoots had grown out of the cut end, so I retrieved them and replanted them and it worked. I told my dad a few years later about this and found he had done it a lot himself over the years. Definitely worth trying.
You can do this very same thing with pineapple crowns (the top bit) once cut off but it takes around 2 years or so to bare fruit. I've managed to get the initial plants growing for about a year but then we had a big storm one night that knocked roof tiles on to my greenhouse and ruined them! So I haven't tried again yet. I'd love to try it again. A lot of my garden isn't grown from bought seeds, I like starting my growings from shop/store bought items. My initial tomato plants are from various varieties of tomatoes I bought for salads cooking etc. Some I even grew from seeds I took from a burger I bought that had a very tasty tomato on it, so I collected the seeds from it and planted them. Now every year I harvest the seeds from my own grown tomatoes from the previous year and I get lots of very tasty tomatoes. I have a melon wall where I grow my melons all from a few store bought melons. My peppers all from peppers bought in Aldi or Asda. Even my lemon trees came from a chunk of lemon that I got on a Greek kebab from a takeaway. It had 3 seeds in it and I managed to get 2 to grow. My strawberry plants all come from punnets I've bought. The only seeds I buy are ones I really want or that are hard to get here, such as thornless raspberries and blackberries because I don't want my grandkids hurting themselves when picking them.
Grafting is something else I'm getting in to. I have an apple tree that last year i grafted two new apple varieties and a pear variety to, which all seem to have taken because they have growth but won't know about any fruit until later in the year, and this year I'm going to be grafting a few varieties of plums, peaches, apricots and cherries on to my Victoria plum tree, the one I really want to grow are green gages. Hopefully they will take well. 1 tree growing many fruits still blows my mind, and takes up no more space than the one original tree.
What additives do you use please?
@@chiomaumunna4832 I just use a mixture of home compost, well rotted horse manure, fish bone and standard tomato feed plus rain water from a water butt collected from my greenhouse roof, I place the compost fish bone tomato feed mixture in to the water butt, let it sit for a few months then use it to water my garden plot and my greenhouse contents. I do this about once a month and just leave it to the rain, or at dry times, just a going over with the water from the hosepipe, and that seems to be enough. I'm going to try adding drops if this mixture to the onions I grow just in a water bath. You just need to make sure only the roots ar submerged and not the onion. Itself. A good thing to use is the oasis stuff the florists use for flower arranging ir a piece of packaging polystyrene. You need to get the roots growing by placing the onion cutting in a shallow tray if water for a week or so, then when the roots are a few inches long, make a hole in the oasis ir polystyrene and gently pull the roots through the hole, and sit on top of a container of water, add a few drops of the feed from the water butt and let nature do its thing. I just leave mine in the green house but you could place some perspex or glas or something to cover it and leave it in the garden if you wanted. Normal varieties of onions and leeks etc will take the same amount if time to grow, but spring onions/scallions seem to grow very quick using these methods. Whether growing in the garden or in water, the trick is to not pull up the onions, but to cut them away from where they are planted, leaving the rooted base behind to grow again and again. Perpetual onions.

I just bought two 25 lb bags of onions for a $7 each. That's not the normal price. I was just lucky when I found them. Thank you for the video. I will give this a try.
A good tip for when the onion is growing is : keep firming the soil around the onion .
This appears to make the onions larger and firmer .
Great video : )

Thanks for the tip.
Thanks
If you cut the bottle first, then place it over the onion, you can use it to measure exactly where to cut the onion in half.
I never knew that I can grow my own onions and I like them so much. I spend a lot of money on them. Now I can enjoy more. Thanks and God bless you.
I do this with green onion and chop the green part 4-5 times after they grow again and again and plant it in the garden if weather is good to that 😊I would try it with regular onion this summer 😏
Thanks for the great information.
I am just learning and tips are always welcomed.
This year is my first garden in a while, last one was my very first one. I plant a few different things, only got 3 beans per plant and had 3 plants grow. Them grean beans were the best i ever tasted. Now i am trying herbs, cat grass (for our cats), peppers (sweet and hot), cucumbers, and carrots. Started indoor seed pods, transplanted outside, now just waiting for my little ones to grow. We have potatoes and onions growing in the garden (our first year living here, dont know what previous tenants had). I am glad there are videos to help us. 😊
Best video I’ve seen yet! Thank you so much! I’ve been looking at other videos but yours has been the most informative and best outcome!
In our country, a price of one onion is equivalent to 2kilos of rice due to extreme ignorance of most onion farmers here today. I appreciate your video, Doc. thank you so much...
Onion is getting expensive in my country too so I use this method to avoid buying onions. But you have to plan in advance so that the onions are ready when you need them. Always a pleasure to share.
May I know from which country you are
Where are you from
@@brightmoon6006 maybe phillippines. Actually cheapest rice is 35/kg but the thailand is cheaper at 28 but no more imports now. If you want jasmine it's pricey. ONion here in phillippines is 300for red and 600 for the yellow. minimum wage daily is 350 and 530 only. Pork is 300 or 400/kg chicken house brand is 170 black rice is 80 90 but with mix or cheating because it has brown mix. egg is 9pesos each. The wage is very small that is why cost of living is too high. PEso value is very small.

Great suggestions.

Always a pleasure. Happy gardening.
Great video.
I learned so much from this video. Thanks a lot.
Glad to hear it!
Yay love the OBI garden channel!!!
Thank you very much for this video! To prefend the onionbottoms falling in the bottle, I cut the top of the bottle a little bigger, unscrew the lid and place it back upside-down in the bottle. No onion falls through like this and roots can still reach the water. Even better is when you only use the top and the bottom of the bottle, the midsection can than be used to place over small seedlings to protect them from the wind.
Thanks for the effort, especially showing us the result it really helped us since vegetables here are expensive thank you so much!! ♥️♥️
WOOOW WHAT AN IMPRESSIVE WAY OF PROPAGATING UNION FROM ONE TO MANY BULBS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH MY FRIEND I RELLY HAVE ENJOYED YOUR PRACTICAL SHOW.

Honestly! This is amazing! My father will be so proud of me to pull off this onion planting project Successfully. I hope to come back to relate my success. Thanks so much
You can do it! Looking forward to reading about your success. Best wishes and thanks for stopping by.
This was so helpful . I watched another opinion video where they never separated the bulbs. Instead they chopped up the leaves and used them for seasoning. I was so confused!
Glad it was helpful! Separating the bulbs ensure that they can grow bigger. You can cut the leaves for use as green onions but the bulb will take longer to form.
