This method is easy and very rewarding, and it will turn your windowsill into a little green haven.
Starting Out: The Most Important Things
A few simple things are all you need to start this green adventure:
Green onion bulbs (the bottom part that still has its roots)
A paper towel or kitchen towel
A small plate or bowl
Drinking water
How to Do Green Onion Magic Step by Step
Get Your Bulbs Ready: Begin with green onion bulbs that still have their roots attached. When you buy green onions, you can use the bulbs to make food. When you cut the onion, just make sure to leave about an inch of it above the roots.
Set up the towels: Wet your kitchen towel or paper towels until they are completely wet but not dripping. Lay the towel out flat in a shallow dish or tray.
To plant your onions, put the green onion bulbs on top of the wet towel and make sure the roots touch the water. You don’t need to cover them; just leave them alone.
Find the Best Place: Put your dish or tray somewhere that gets a lot of indirect sunlight, like a kitchen counter or window sill that gets a lot of light. The light and warmth are very important for growth.
Watch Them Grow: In a few days, you’ll see fresh green shoots coming out of the bulbs’ tops. It’s a lovely sight that brings some nature inside. Make sure the towel stays wet by adding water as needed to keep it that way.
Get it and enjoy it: You can start getting your green onions once the green shoots have grown a few inches. Just cut off what you need and let the rest grow. It’s an everlasting gift!
Why this method will work for you
This towel and water method is great for people who love fresh herbs but don’t have a yard. It’s environmentally friendly, cost-effective, and genuinely fun. There’s also something very satisfying about eating food that you grew yourself, even if it’s just a green onion.
So why not give it a shot? You could start a beautiful green journey with this easy tip. It would add a bit of growth and vitality to your daily life. Have fun gardening!
