What I am doing is putting the baby onions in a pot by themselves.  I use potting soil with sand and perilite added.  I mist them regularly and they seem to love it.  I also use eleanors vf 11 for their misting.  This really helps them grow. before long they grow a green tip on the top (the starting of leaves) and these green tips get long compared to the size of the baby.

Once the baby has a long root system going, I take it out of the community pot and plant it into a small pot on its own or possibly with one or two others if I want it grown that way.

Another thing that I just tried them on is a product called "MegaGro". Wow, do they go crazy over that!!!  I will mist the babies with this about every 2 weeks to 1 week. The rest of the time they get their usual vf 11 that they love.

HTH someone.

I am new at growing these and am learning as I go along.

Hi everyone!

Hope you all had a wonderful day today!

Dizzy,in reply to your question"Are Egyption walking Onions and Pregnant Onions the same?"

No they are not.

The Onion gets real big like the caudex of a Desert Rose where as the Egyption is the same as you had in your yard last year,it makes Onions ontop of the green parts.

here are 2 links you can check out:

Pregnant Onion and Egyptian Onion

I hope this helps!

 

Is this Pregnant onion the same as Egyptian or Walking onion?

My sisters and I each got a pregnant onion to plant last year.  I planted mine in an area with some flowers in the edge of my vegetable garden.  The babies didn't end up doing anything but it stayed green thru the winter so we will see how it goes this year.  I think the pregnant onion would need to be outside.  I am a novice to growing pregnant onions, so these are just my thoughts.  Dale

I received a baby one last week and it had a nice green tail already,but now it has turned brown,the baby looks green still tho.Will it be alright?

I traded for some seeds last fall but I never planted them. Maybe I will go ahead a give it a whirl and see what happens...

What are te signs the plant shows when it needs water?  And how much water is given at 1 time:)  thanks.~~

THANK You All for sharing your info and experience! I just received 8 babies in a trade and I do so want them to make it!

right now I have them in my seed room under lights.

When would it be good to move them outside? They are VERY small.

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

God Bless Y'all

 I had preg. onions for years and years...and have to say ...besides watering when it is dried out it took care of it's self...they are slow growing and do like lots of light...mine always did better outside or in a really sunny window...

It's me vegemm "So then neither is he that plants any thing, neither he that waters; but God that gives the increase." 1 Corinthians 3:7

I had to google this one, I have never seen one of these before.  They look really cool.

There is always room for one more plant.
