This spring we've had lots of fun experimenting with propagating plants from cuttings. 🌿
We've rooted: oregano, different mints, catnip, lemon balm, basil, sage, majoram and tomatoes. Now we have many new baby plants and the best part is, they're free!
Propagating is simpler than you might think:
1) take a cuttings of the plant you desire, just make sure tgat it has at least one or two leave nodes that you can put in water or soil.
2) remove lower leaves carefully
3) place cuttings in small glass jars with water on your window sill
4) observe, refill water and be patient. First roots show between 1 and 2 weeks, depending on the plant.
5) some plants like tomatoes can be propagated straight in soil.
Happy Gardening 🌿
