Gather Supplies

Planting an onion that has sprouted is a great way to grow your own onions. To get started, you will need to gather a few supplies. Start by gathering your onion sprout, a trowel, and some potting soil. If you have compost, you can also add it to the soil for extra nutrients.

Prepare the Soil

Next, you will need to prepare the soil in your planting area. If you are planting directly in the ground, loosen the soil with the trowel and mix in any compost or other organic matter. If you are planting in a pot, fill the pot with potting soil.

Plant the Sprouted Onion

Once the soil is ready, it is time to plant the sprouted onion. Place the onion sprout in the soil with the sprouts pointing up. If you are planting multiple onions, space them at least 4-6 inches apart. Gently press the soil around the onion to secure it in the soil.

Care for the Plant

After planting the onion, you will need to care for the plant. Onions need plenty of water and sunlight to grow. Water your onions regularly, about once a week. Make sure the soil does not dry out. Onions also need about 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. If you are growing your onions in a pot, you will need to repot them every few months to keep them healthy.

Once your onions are established, you can begin harvesting them as needed. To harvest, simply pull the onion out of the ground. You can also cut off the leaves and use them in cooking.

Growing your own onions that have sprouted is a great way to enjoy fresh, homegrown onions. With the right supplies and care, you will have plenty of delicious onions in no time.
