How to grow onions in indoor flower pots
- 1Choose onion bulbs for planting. Choose red, white or green onion bulbs for planting. These are available at local nurseries and look like mini onions with bare roots tied together with twine or rubber bands. Any type of bulb will make an excellent green onion, and will do well in pots indoors.
- 2Prepare a nutrient-rich potting soil flower pot. Green onions grow best in nutrient-rich soil, so choose composted potting soil, or mix homemade compost into standard potting soil. When filling, the soil should be a few centimeters from the top of the pot. Water the soil and prepare it for planting. Make sure the pot drains well so the soil doesn't become waterlogged.
- 3Plant the bulbs. Plant each bulb 2.5 cm deep with the roots down. Gently tap the soil on top. The spacing between onions should be 1.2-5 cm so that there is room for roots to grow without crowding. Water the onions and place the pot on a windowsill where it gets the most sun.
- Indoor growing can be done at any time of the year as long as you can provide the right conditions. Onions require full sun, so they should be placed on a windowsill where they receive the most sunlight. Make sure the temperature does not drop below freezing.
- Soil moisture remains balanced. Water every few days or when the soil begins to dry out. Don't overwater - the soil should be moist, but not waterlogged.
- 4Harvest when onions grow to 15-20 cm tall. After a few weeks, green tops will appear and grow. You can either pull the plant out of the pot and eat the green and white parts, or you can cut off the green tops with scissors and let the bulb continue to grow. If you leave the bulb in the pot, you should be able to get at least one more harvest before it stops producing.

DIY Tips
- You can plant seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the growing season begins and then transplant them outside into soil. If you don't want to start from seed, you can purchase green onions from a nursery that are already growing.
- If growing green onions in containers, water more frequently because the soil dries out faster.
- Onions should be planted in full sun. If possible, keep soil pH between 6 and 7.5. This is the most suitable condition for the growth of onions.
- When you use onions, leave 2.5 cm above the base for replanting. Replanting will give you a steady yield of green onions this season.
