Reply to comment by sohereiamacrazyalien in I didn’t know onions could grow sitting in a pantry by snowyy_vixen

I potted mine a few months ago and i'm not sure if they're taking root. Is there a specific way to plant onions?

Few months ago? Indoor or outdoor. Could it be because if the weather? I am no expert but I think it was not the right time if the year. Unless maybe inside with the heater and the sun but even then am not sure. I never planted them before spring....

Also when they are really hollow and no roots they tend to die.

Outdoor. The stocks are still growing so I think it's fine. I just noticed that the outer layer of the onion is still in there. I thought for sure it would have been broken up by the roots by now. I mean, it is healthy. Especially after the recent rainfall where I am. I honestly just blindly put it in some dirt and hoped for the best. haha

Well if they are alive and green they should be fine. (seems your weather was not too cold), they should multiply and grow. . you will get spring onions.

Lol it's ok in general yeah you put them in soil and they grow lol with few exceptions of course.

I did the same with the potatoes
