I planted these onions a month or so ago, not expecting much. I had heard that its to hot to grow onions in central Florida & growing onions from onion ends wouldn't work. Well I cut the bottom off some onions, planted them, watered them & this is what grew. I've found a lot of info on the internet about starting onions but not much info about what to do after they grow. So I've got these 4 plants & they're growing great but I don't know what to do with them. Can I leave them in the pots? Will the onions have room to grow in a pot? Or Transplant them? How do I know when they're ready? Do I water them everyday? Do they need fertilizer? Do I need to do anything else to them? I read somewhere that I should dig them up & seperate the shoots & each one should be planted seperatly to make individual plants. I'm clueless here. Any advice would be great!
