Excited, hopefully it will grow!
At first I thought that it might not survive, having realised that I cut it a little less than an inch off this onion.
I let it grow some roots a few days first before I even attempted to plant it today. It wasn't showing any signs of growing until 48 hours later.
First I dare not soak it with water because this could rotten the cut onion before the roots came out; and true enough once there are some roots and there's a little too much water, the it has the stench of rot around the corner. So I kept it minimum moist just enough for it to start growing blades.
Just only today I have decided to place it outside the balcony for fresh air with soil and hopefully with some sun it will grow better ; until thunderstorm came and I couldn't get it back in and its outside drenched with rain water. However I know that thunder storm rain water is actually great for plants; but being just planted in I truly hope that it will survive this round.
(I know my mulberry tree and lime would have loved it. My little lemon tree only had a bit of it being seated deeper in the balcony)
Let's see how it goes.
Anyone tried planting white onions from cuts before and survived in a hot and humid country like Malaysia?

Awesome, I'm using hydroponic method to plant onions:
Oh really?? But do far I feel the roots rot out fairly quickly. Maybe I didn't do it right.

Oh now I see it you used the whole onion.
Next time when I help out food bank and I see any sprouting onion I will take one home to try too.
Do you add any fertilizer solutions to this plant?
