How to Re-grow Romaine Hearts | August’s Edible Patio | Garden Tip | Cooking Tip
In this video I show you how to re-grow store-bought romaine hearts. This is great way to get two for the price of one. Just stick the base of the romaine heart in a glass of water rather than throwing it into the compost pile. Stick it in a window and watch it start growing again in just a few days. It doesn’t even have to be a particularly sunny window either. I grew mine in a north facing window. This is great project for kids to do with their parents.

How long does it take before you have a full head of romaine?
I ate mine. You have to change the water when it gets yellow.
It took a about 4 weeks before I decided to eat mine.
Change water to avoid amoeba
Yes you must change the water. It gets pretty yellow if you don't!
Thanks. You can do this with green onions too!
Can you plant it in the soil outside after a period of time?
Nice idea, 2 x having the lettuce, but really takes a week to grow as in the glass or even more, but it grows, and put on soil to fully grow.
Sure can!
Thanks for watching!
With green onions it easily get rotten, green onion must have little roots to get more, but on the soil is much easier, proven… i have lots now…. watching you tubers post. thanks to all.
I'm doing that with lettuce and Celery!! 😀 Free salad for life! lol xp
Did you change the water during those 4 days?
thank u
With covered roots in your hydroponics setup, I predict improved results. Roots do not like light (usually underground). An aquarium airstone for oxygen and some very diluted plant food might help as well.
That is seriously AWESOME! Thanks for sharing!
That's cool!, I will give it a try.
You can do this once in nothing but water and still have good flavor, but if you try to do it again after that it will pretty much taste like water. You will have have to plant it in nutrient rich soil or a proper hydroponic system to get that flavor back.
Use only organic lettuce…not GMO!
My neighbor let me know about Simply Love Gardening (just google it). It had everything I needed all in one place.
When do I replant it outside?
So when the fuck do i transfer it or do i just look at it 4 days later and shit rainbows because it grew 1 inch leaves?
damn it, just 4 days!? i started to regret for going the market frequently to get this lovely vegetable. now i can grow mine too!
You should go to Inplix if you'd like to make it by yourselfs guys.
not very informative . .👎
still have yet to see a video showing roots .
And we should change water daily.. Right
