Climbing Onion, Sea Onion
Bowiea volubilis

showing how plant divides... was a solid 'bulb', but then two stalks grew out of it, and then onion just split in half. EVentually they will round up and become more spherical. So California

Very interesting. Thanks for the picture and info. I have something similar, and know what to look for now... :)

Regarding the splitting of the Climbing Onion....mine just split. Does that mean I am supposed to remove one half, repot, and now I have 2?? is this how it works? I have never seen a baby like from a Pregnant Onion, and I have never seen a seed from the little green flower.

You can split them I suppose, though I have never done that. We just let ours split and split and split until they form a large mass of green spheres.

thanks for responding Palmbob- so if i leave mine split alone, then i will eventually 2 full spheres in the pot, and they will continue to split and split like cells? (Pardon the sideways shot.)
