  1. Thanks for the great video on how to grow herbs from cuttings. I am wondering whether it would be just as effective to put the stems in water until roots form, and then plant them. I noticed some of the basil I harvested and kept in water in the kitchen has begun to sprout roots.

  2. I keep a large pot near my potting bench. It's almost the size of a wine barrel. Whenever I have pieces of a plan that break off I stick them into the pot. I'm always surprised at how many of them start to grow. It's very little effort.

  3. I've successfully done lavender by slicing away about 1.5" of the "bark" of the sprig I cut. I dropped them into a clear glass of water for about 5 weeks and had roots! I also tried Rosemary, but forgot to skin the bottom of my cutting and they never took.

    I dropped a little sugar into the water once or twice, not sure if it helped or not, but all three lavender sprigs took root in the water. I left them in another week or so (6 weeks total I believe) and then potted them. 2 of 3 have done very well and I'm on to my next batch.

    I will be going to my friend's house to take more Rosemary cuttings in a day or two and see if it works with a skinned sprig.

  4. I struggled to get rosemary to sprout using hormones. I cut them at a 45 degree angle and ended up putting them in a windowsill in rain water- that was much more successful than rooting hormones. More and longer roots, and higher out planting success.

  5. Just out of curiosity is it necessary to use that specific soil and root starter? I just started growing sage from the seed and I don't really want to buy more seeds if it's a success.

  6. I start my herb cuttings in coconut coir, I can put about 100 cuttings in a small plastic wash tub with about 2" of potting mix and I keep them watered and mist regularly, I have cuttings that develop roots within 2 weeks, being ready to transplant to pots in 4 weeks

  7. I tried taking cuttings and putting them in water. When roots grew I transplanted them in soil. Then they died. Hmmm I will try this method and see what happens. How often do you have to water?

  8. I've been rooting herbs from a single mother plants in a jar with water like my Mom for 50 years. Then I plant in other areas of garden. I never root in soil.
