Description

The listing, Pregnant Onion babies has ended.

The Pregnant Onions are wonderful novelty plants for indoors or out. They grow quite well in
either place. If it freezes in your area, they should be brought inside. They have an onion shape,
and the bulb grows on the top of the soil. The babies grow under the skin making the bulb look
as if it's pregnant. Once the little bulb-lets free themselves from the mother, just sit them on top
of the soil (pointed side up) and they will root and grow. The larger plants will bloom in mid to
late summer with tall spikes of white flowers.

These plants are extremely drought tolerant, and if necessary can go without water for long
periods of time, although they do prefer to be watered. You would really have to work overtime
to kill one of these. All you will have to do is watch her create a family for you.

Questions & Comments

To start the babies, I put some well draining potting mix in a
pot, then cover it with a layer of pure coarse construction sand
(white sand like they use for sandboxes or sandblasting) about
½ deep, then a layer of small gravel. I stick the babies, fat, round end down, pointed end up,
into the sand about ½ way, the gravel helps hold them up straight and keeps water from sitting
on them. Water sparingly as with the large plants, be careful not to knock them over or out of
the sand when you water
