How to fertilize Long Green 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 Long Green Onion after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Fungus?? Hey Greg fam! What is this on my green onion plant?? It’s sort of a white wildewey looking substance. Is it possibly a pest or fungi? What should I do about this? I’ve treated it with Neem oil for now but I’m worried if this is still safe to consume later. Should I just repot? Thanks for any help! 😊 #fungusgnats #helpneeded #PestControl

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) 😊
