HELP.... I've had these chives since late spring, they haven't grown to be sturdy at all. This is the second pot they have been in.

i believe alliums need a dormancy period and require a hard freeze to regenerate in the spring — they’re not really meant to grow year round

I second this, we have ours in our raised bed and it comes back every year. Kinda off topic, it being a completely different plant, my calla lily has yet to go dormant and I feel I gotta force it into its dormancy. It just refuses to wilt even with less water. I'm abt ready to just cut it and take the bulbs out.

If they are wispy and thin, it's usually a light issue. Allium usually want full sun 8-12 hrs a day. (Slowly harden them off to that much exposure, if you've been giving less)
