One day, I stumbled upon a sprouted onion in my kitchen. Excitement took over, and I quickly planted it in a pot on my balcony. Before long, beautiful sprouts began to emerge, growing rapidly into lush plants with luxuriant leaves. I even used a few of the leaves in my cooking!

As the plants grew, I noticed they were clustered together, competing for space. I realized that I had made a big mistake – not separating the individual sprouts when I planted them. Each sprout was, in fact, a separate plant!
Despite the cramped conditions, the plants continued to thrive. But I couldn’t help wondering: how would new onions form in such a small space? I didn’t investigate further, content to simply enjoy the sight of the healthy plants.

Then one morning, almost after two months, I was thrilled to spot a flower bud peeking out from among the leaves. As the stem grew longer, a second bud appeared.

Over the next 25-30 days, the buds slowly unfurled, revealing stunning flowers.
At the time, I wasn’t thinking about sharing this experience with others. I was simply enjoying the journey. But as I witnessed the onion plant’s remarkable transformation, I felt compelled to share it with friends and readers. And so, this blog series was born!
Happy reading!
