In the uncut version of Das Boot (1981), radio operator Hinrich keeps a small plant in a cup early in the film. Near the end of the film, the plant has grown significantly after two months at sea

I could watch this movie all day. I love the level of real character depth it takes you without being too verbose or funny. You’re in that boat with them and only learn what you see. Petersen is amazing.

That’s a fun find.
That’s clearly a green/spring onion; historically, sailors would keep onions in their stores, to prevent scurvy. Raw onions of any kind are a great source of vitamin C, and bulbs keep fresh much better long-term than most other fruits and vegetables (including lemons and limes).
