Part 3/8:

In just two days, you can expect to see new roots and shoots emerging from the onion bottom. By the ninth day, the growth will be even more pronounced, making it clear that the onion is ready for the next phase. However, it's essential to keep an eye on the onion; if it’s too small or the container is too large, the piece might fall into the water and die, as highlighted by Dr. Obi's experiences.

Transplanting into Soil

Once the onion bottom has developed visible growth, it’s time to transfer it into soil. Dr. Obi emphasizes that the soil should be well-draining and filled to a height of at least six inches. Create a hole deep enough to accommodate the roots and part of the onion bottom and gently cover it with soil. It’s crucial not to plant too deeply, as that can lead to plant death.
