VIDEO: Easy way to Propagate Mint from Cuttings – In Water!


Mint is a lovely smelling Herb and you may have had Peppermint or spearmint gum or mint with a fresh taste, that’s what the leaves taste like as well. It is an easy herb to grow in water and the next video with propagating mints will just be using general compost. A great easy fun project and can be done on a commercial scale.

  1. Hi Huw, that isn't spearmint… Spearmint has a pointed leaf. There are so many mints and so many cross bred mints that its hard to know what you are actually buying. I am only telling you this as someone kindly told me my herb bed didn't have spearmint in as well.. 🙁

    Great videos mate, keep it up!

  2. It is both, I've been selling plants or a few years now but it is like a profitable hobby but I would like to take a degree in gardening to improve my skills and start a plant nursery! I love taking cuttings! So Much! Thanks

  3. Yes it can, like many other Herbs they are great on the window sill where they get plenty of light and easy to pick off a few sprigs or leaves, it also smells nice so do it. Thanks for watching

  4. Thank you so much for posting this video. I was wondering if one can do the same with cuttings from dill? And also, i noticed you used a small opaque yogurt or pudding type of a container. Did you do this because its necessary to have darkness around the stem or can one can use a clear glass?

  5. Bought a packet of Sainsburys mint, saved the freshest-looking stems and trimmed as you said and stood in water (didn't have the powder) Roots appeared within 5 days and potted on into a cuttings compost.
    Is it too late to harden one of them off and plant outside? I love to see a good bed of mint really getting a good 'hold' in a corner of the garden especially if it covers the 'muck ruck' as my Granddad called it!
    Thanks so much for your excellent videos !
