Growing onions to obtain green feathers, as practice shows, is a fairly simple process.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , you can simply place the bulb in a glass jar with water or plant it in a flower pot.

But it is worth noting that there are cases when the bulb in the soil begins to rot and becomes home to various larvae, especially small black flies that can fly around the house.

Bulbs in water are also susceptible to rotting and the development of various fungal diseases, which can lead to the appearance of an unpleasant odor and the spread of pathogenic spores throughout the room.

To prevent such a development of events, firstly, “damage” the planting material as little as possible by removing everything that can be removed from the bulbs (there is no need to forcibly strip or cut anything off), and secondly, take a responsible approach to choosing the substrate - the best option would be zeolite, sand or perlite.

Place the bulbs upside down and upside down in the containers, then fill them with any of the materials you choose.

And the last thing you need to do is moisten the plantings using a solution of “Fitosporin” or preparations with Trichoderma.
