How to fertilize Japanese Bunching Onion
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Japanese Bunching Onion after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

How often should I really be watering my Green Onions? I had a horrible habbit of drowning my plants (caused me to drop gardening for a VERY long time), how often should i water these fellas? (Still in the process of building the planter box, paper plates will not be permanent, needed them of course for the drainage) 😊

So happy to share my Green Onion plant, Miley, has matured enough to be able to use fresh scallions in last nights dinner. I trimmed her down and we’re now starting the growth process over again 🥰

Can someone tell me what they think these are? They are alive and barely moving. I've had them on my last green onions and they died and the white things was all on the roots and bigger in size. #happyplants #plantaddict #pestcontrol #greenonions #help

Why is one thriving and the other declining 🤔

My garlic is turning yellow and droopy, it’s in full sunlight in the Nordic close to 12 hours of full sun per day. My feeling is that I have over watered it as I have a bottom watering pot to which I added less than half a liter of water couple of days ago but have only top watered it for 2 months and it looked theiving until now. Any tips on how to improve my care? First time growing garlic and I’m used to Chilies and Tomatoes. #Garlic
