Description

The listing, ** 2 Pregnant Onion Babies ** has ended.

I am slowly starting my houseplant auctions again (yayyyy!), with the more hardy bulbs being the first that I offer until the weather warms up enough to safely ship clippings.

I'm starting with Pregnant Onion Houseplant babies!


These plants are not edible, but they are very interesting houseplants!

The winner will receive two of the bulbs (babies) that grow on the Mother plant.

The bulbs are planted no more than half way in the soil, and once they are about 1 1/2 - 2 inches in diameter, they will start getting little bumps under the skin. These are the "babies" forming. After a while, the skin will split to reveal the bulbs. The bulbs can be removed from the Mother plant to start new ones.

Pictures are of my Mother plants, and the winner will receive 2 of the bulbs they produce.

This is a very interesting houseplant, and kids love watching them "give birth" : )

If you have any questions, please ask.

As always, thanks for looking!

I had never heard of these, either until I saw them here on Listia a few years ago. I was never able to win one, so I bought a couple on ebay. Over the years, the two that I bought have provided me with MANY babies for sharing : ) Thank you for your interest!

What is this exactly? I'm confused!

This is a houseplant, that resembles an onion in looks, but it is NOT edible!!!! The pictures are a good description of what this plant does... The bulbs form on the mother plant, instead of under the soil, as most other bulbs do. In late summer to early fall, the mother plant will also shoot up a stalk that has small white flowers on it : ) The next time mine flower, I will have to take pictures, so anyone that's unfamiliar with this plant can see just how cool it is! Thanks for your interest : )
