I think the green onions grew rapidly in the abundance of water. The potted plants in soil looked a little dry. The potted plants would have probably been more robust than the water based one especially with the minerals in the soil. You should redo your experiment with much wetter soil against the bottled onions. Either way, I appreciate seeing your experiment and watching those little onions grow.
I'm guessing the spring onions have to go through a period of regrowing their roots before they can take advantage of nutrients in soil. During that period the water onions can freely and easily grow new roots without much resistance, and have to fight off less bacteria and other pathogens. Especially when you take into account your water changes and removing dead tissue! Another big difference is the water onions were exposed to less light and heat than those planted in the soil: those in the soil had noticeably greener shoots and dry burnt edges where they had been cut, leading me to think they were being stressed by a bit too much light exposure compared to those in the water bottle. Great experiment, though! I'll be sure to try acclimating my onions in a shady spot for a couple of days before I plant them!

Those Spring Onions look so fresh, I love them.
Thanks
Thanks for this detailed experiment.
You're welcome
Very insightful. Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure!
Great experiment Dr Obi.
Will try this here in Thailand.
Best Regards, Peter.
Thanks for stopping by, Peter! Best wishes with your garden.

I wouldn't completely rule out that possibility. Thanks for your suggestions. Best regards.

The difference seems pretty close to me. I guess you have to chose the method that's easier for you.

Those are possible reasons. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Thank for your videos
You're so welcome 🤗!
Love them in miso soup 🥣
Soil planting is d best
Manfaatkan barang bekas untuk pot..👍
Thanks.
but the white bit is the best for cooking! the green leaf has less flavour and I usually use those sliced into rings as a garnish
Yes, the white portion has intense flavor and is also good for a meal. I use all parts when I don't have to replant.
🗣️🎙️ Difference doc is, continuous supply of hydrogen in the water. Similar to when it rains plants grow super crazy.
That could be true but not all species can take advantage of that. I had a different outcome with bulb onions.
Asante, nimejifunza. Vipi iwapo utaweka mbolea "booster" katika maji ya kuoteshea ? Na je utahamisha shambani baada ya siku ngapi?
The stems tripled?
Yes, it's called tillering or bunching. The stems multiply themselves over time.
