Isa's Onion plant died- withered and yellowed. It looked overwatered.
The small one in my windowsill is still doing well, and we've been cutting it for greens. It needs the water changed about once a week, and I have to top off the water almost every day- if it drops below the basal plate, the plant starts to wilt. Direct sun through the window makes it wilt, too, so I keep it in the corner, except for on cloudy days.
The larger one, surprisingly, is still doing okay. With moderate water every other day, and its corner never gets too much sun. We've been eating its leaves as well. So out of four onions, we're left with two- and that's plenty enough for the little bit I chop for greens once in a while.
