So I bought this red onion yesterday, left it outside and today I cut it in have and within 3 hours it sprouted this much. Is this normal? I did noticed that while I was cutting it within 10 min it already had about 2 cm sticking out but then I checked again 3 hours later and it was like this.

    Plants grow shockingly fast in the right conditions!

    Depending where you were, a lot of people had a warmer day yesterday, so in the sun, little onion said “oh boy!!! Now’s my chance!!”

  2. I think as the moisture evaporated the onion shrunk a bit and squeezed the inner layers out a bit going upward. Are you in an arid location?

    If you can push them back down then it didn’t sprout.

    Do not fault your onion, he only wishes to make more onions for you

    Perfectly normal, I think

  6. Anything is normal with onions, there’s nothing those fuckers can’t do
