Instructions
Trim your green onions well above the root then place them root end down in a shot glass (or something similar) filled with enough water to cover the roots (no more than an inch).
You’ll see the green onion root starting to shoot out new green tops after a few days. This is a good start!
They’ll continue growing at a steady pace, so you can trim down the new leaves to use the green part of the onion, then allow them to grow more.
Over time, you may have different green onion plants growing at different rates. The best part about that is you’ll always have fresh green onions to cut and use.
