Remember to change the water regularly, about every 2 or 3 days. The more sunlight the spring onion has, the faster it grows.

Remember to keep the elastic of the boot to be able to keep it straight in the jar.

Be aware that after pushing it back 3 to 4 times in water, the spring onion will lose some of its flavor. To avoid this, replant it in a pot of soil where it will be able to recharge its nutrients.
