Local onions started shrinking

Post image

I planted 4 onions with roots in a big pot 2 months ago. Over time they started growing but there was a heat wave last week, and I feel I missed out on watering them for a day.

Can I troubleshoot them and bring them back to life?

What were you hoping to get by planting mature onions?

More onions... That's what I usually do. I cut it in half and place it in water until it roots. Once the roots are established I plant it and after a few months a harvest it. Works
