Not my plant. My roommate’s onion sprouted and started rotting on the kitchen table, but they wanted to keep it for the greens, so they put its roots in water. Now the water (previously clear) is yellow and cloudy. The onion’s fruit is getting squishy. It smells bad, but only up close. The weather will only get hotter from here out, and I’m convinced the onion will keep rotting and I don’t want that near my healthy houseplants or my nose. I suggested cutting out the living parts in the center and throwing away the rest, but they think it will be fine as is.
Is there any hope for the onion to NOT rot? I think I know the answer, but I’m no onion expert, so I want a second opinion!
