This post was made over a year ago. Not sure why you're asking about growing info now. Pregnant onions are not the same as edible onions. http://homeguides.sfgate.com/soil-pregnant-onion-prefer-64660.html For info about growing real onions check the allium and/or vegetable forums. Rodney

I have been growing this plant for years. I first saw this plant in a computer store. The lady gave me 3 babies from it, and told me how to start them. She said use a small plastic container that has a lid. Place the babies between two paper towels, place the babies in the container, and wet the paper towels, and cover with the lid. Check the babies every couple days, and add water to the paper towels, don't drown them with water, just make sure the paper towels stay moist. I can't remember how long it takes, but the babies will start to get little sprouts at one end, let them get pretty good sprouts, then pot them in a pot with good drainage holes with good potting soil, I use Miracle Grow Potting Soil. My plants have always been in a very sunny location. When we moved from Illinois to Florida, I gave all my plants away, I kept a couple babies from my onion plant so I could start another plant, the picture is from the babies that I kept, it really needs to be put in a larger pot" need to get that done"This plant sets on the back patio with my other plants gets the hot afternoon sun for about 5-6 hours. I turn it every day, it has two flower shots coming out right now. These plants are poisonous. I cut off a bad stem that was breaking off, I turned the plant and felt some sticky stuff on my neck which caused a burning on my neck and turned my neck red, lasted for several minutes. The flower that comes out from the shoot is the most poison part of this plant. Be careful if you have small children or pets, because both the long stem that hangs down and the flowers on the shoot can make them sick. I always watch the flower, once I see that it is almost finished blooming and before the little petals start dropping off, I cut the flower off, I don't want out little dog to accidentally eat one. I hope I was of some help to someone. If someone would like to grow this plant, I would be happy to send you some babies. Have a great day. Judy gj459@yahoo.com

In general I'd say 2-3 weeks and I try to water it by looking at the wooden skewer I put in the soil. Usually when it's dry down at least 2 inches or more. But since it's in a window secluded from my other plants (except the other succulents) I often do forget about it at times and associate it with the same water needs as my other more drought tolerant succulents. But it's never been extreme to the sense that the soil is bone dry and the bulbs are shriveled nor has it been in this spot long enough for anything like that to even occur. They have always stayed nice and plump. Nothing that it hasn't gone through during the summer when it didn't have this issue. Since I've moved it I've watered it once. I just noticed it happening today and it definitely wasn't happening before I moved it. I don't remember doing anything different when it happened the first time. It just came and went away. Maybe it's just adjusting ? Though they don't seem like the type of plant that would be finicky like that.... I'll try watering it more and see if that stops it... if not maybe I'll have to switch it out with my COT and put it back upstairs.
