I am doing this now. I saw green growth in the middle 8 hours after I put the end in water. The next day it's 1/4 inch. This is the closest thing I have seen to magic.
If you take a super thin, almost see through slice off the bottom to make a fresh cut it will happen even faster as that part gets dried out when harvested. When the roots start to get approximately 3/4" out the bottom I go plant it in soil and it makes a full head again and again.
I am doing romaine. It's been 2 days no noticeable activity but top part starting to brown...I think I will try your idea of cutting thin slice off bottom of the stalk. How many days will the process take overall? How many times can I regrow same stalk?
I’m just starting to see my lettuce grow. It’s amazing, as this is my first time trying to grow food. I also have peppers growing from store bought seeds. 😀
Love this! The fact that I can do this on the kitchen counter is awesome, because I live in an apartment. Can't wait to try this! Thanks for this video!
I'm currently growing lettuce too, day 7 and you're right it's fun to watch it grow daily. I'm doing it with celery too. Hope you are having a great day
Dang, all these things I throw away I could have simple regrow?! I feel cheated! Anyway, green garden here I come. Thanks girl for this amazing knowledge. :)
This is such an easy way to grow lettuce, I was amazed at how it changed everyday. I just transferred mine to a pot of soil and can start setting it outside now. Looking forward to trying the other veggies as well, thanks for the idea!
Soooooo I've tried this and now i've got a stem with buds trying to bloom in the span of 10 days. I never thought i'd get a sentimental attachment to lettuce in my life, but here we are. Neighbor does gardening. If it blooms I'll probably offer seeds for spring time.
This is my first time enjoying your TH-cam channel. Great work! I’m looking forward to more great content from you. Thank you so much for this informative video! I got so much out of it.
Me too! LOL My children will love this cool experiment! Your salad looks delicious! My MIL tried doing this, but we didn't know about the water and roots. Awesome!
I just did this! I tried two methods- cutting short and leaving some leaves to encourage photosynthesis so the plant doesnt die. The latter seems to be doing better, but my growth under grow lights is much slower than what you had. Green onions work well with this method too.
I've just did this week one done and also did a celery. Put them in bourbon glasses and they have took off. And I have enjoyed every day seeing it grow.
Growing in window now more spring onion tops! I just snip off new tops and use them in my cooking. I change the water daily. I now want to try with romaine lettuce after seeing your video.
Great video, I will definitely try this hope I don't mess up I have never plant anything in my life this will be my first experiment. Thanks for the video!👍👍
I started doing this like a week ago...there are some shoots...so I was looking up if I needed to put it in soil and found you, subbed, and I'm glad to know I only need water. Thank you for that also good to know that it continues to grow...so I'm going to get another stalk of romaine so I can have two growing at the same time.
Yes, I have regrown some of my vegetables. I tried the romaine lettuce first, put out roots and I transplanted into a pot of soil. Rather than putting out a bunch of leaves, it grew more like a stalk with small leaves growing off the stalk. The stalk and leaves at one point toppled over so I staked it upright again. After about a month, I decided to harvest the leaves to make a very small salad. After that, the core planted in the soil seemed to go into shock, never regrew anything and eventually rotted away. I've got a few more romaine cores going, plus a lot of scallions, celery, beets and bok choy. I've got green leaf lettuce and arugula, started from seeds, growing in a small self-water planter with soil. In another self-watering planter, I'm growing spinach from seeds but it's going to take a few weeks for the spinach to get big enough to start harvesting. They're all in my windows since I live in an apartment and have no outdoor space.
Lettuce is an annual plant. It wants to throw up a seed stalk at the end of its life-cycle as a means of dispersing its seeds. The leaves on the stalk are not only small, they are bitter because they are full of latex. Next year, collect the seeds when the flowers dry out. You'll get hundreds of them from each stalk -- if you are alert.
Lettuce is always more bitter at the white part. I has many a spit moment as a child. Younger leaves do tend to be sweeter. Also there are medicinal qualities to lettuce, especially wild varieties.
@@JennStavropoulos My now potted celery plants are looking very healthy. Thanks for asking. I was trying to find a way to upload pics of them on TH-cam but sadly could not.
My sister recently bought some romaine hearts. Your video showed me to keep a little of the leaves instead of cutting down to the stump. Maybe one day I'll update this and tell of my progress!
I feel like all the water changes would slow the growth process, I've been growing bonsai for 22 years and the most important thing with any cuttings is stability, movement will damage the little roots OK your not trying to grow a root and its not so much regrowth as just carrying on growth, Nature is just so magical and amazing. This is a fantastic way to teach kids how we never have to go hungry if we learn to grow stuff. Super cute video, I do this with all my kitchen veg scraps..
I am trying to grow my own veggies. I buy organics of the time, so I want to take any seeds and replant them. I am growing the lettuce like you have grown in this video ..starting to see the center come in green. So I will continue through this week and possible transition Fer to soil.
what Vegetables can grow in xtreme heat and cold!???!?!! i have really old tiny apartment. heat waves all summer and freezing all winter lol Thank you. Lovely VIDEO!
I am doing this now. I saw green growth in the middle 8 hours after I put the end in water. The next day it's 1/4 inch. This is the closest thing I have seen to magic.
Has it grown by now?
@@thetongueofangels1882 It has grown really well. I keep getting new growths so it is getting wider
@@thetongueofangels1882 I checked it today. The leaves are 5 inches talk and there are 22 of them.

@@ax3226 you need to be admitted for a psychological evaluation.
Seriously.
If you take a super thin, almost see through slice off the bottom to make a fresh cut it will happen even faster as that part gets dried out when harvested. When the roots start to get approximately 3/4" out the bottom I go plant it in soil and it makes a full head again and again.
You should've made this video

How many times can I regrow same stalk?
I’m just starting to see my lettuce grow. It’s amazing, as this is my first time trying to grow food. I also have peppers growing from store bought seeds. 😀
Should try growing some delicious herbs next! Rosemary and basil would be a great start.
How are you growing the peppers
Me too it’s so exciting 😊
Some how I’ve gotten apple trees to grow but not the peppers
Love this! The fact that I can do this on the kitchen counter is awesome, because I live in an apartment. Can't wait to try this! Thanks for this video!
I'm currently growing lettuce too, day 7 and you're right it's fun to watch it grow daily. I'm doing it with celery too. Hope you are having a great day
I recently started celery too!! 🥰
@@JennStavropoulos i have a bunch of mini ones sprouting off, they're so cute! Hope yours flourish!
How did you grow celery? @@SuzyTopAgent
@@5bbya same way in water but both didn't work well for me, got some straggly shoots on both and difficult to keep water clean so I threw away.
Dang, all these things I throw away I could have simple regrow?! I feel cheated! Anyway, green garden here I come. Thanks girl for this amazing knowledge. :)
Hahaha! Same.
Exactly. It looks like most people don´t know it.
I know what you mean, Kadian Webb. Now we can learn. :)
Mine are very slow at growing what am l doing wrong?
Lol@feel cheated! Same here😒
I never knew in all my years this could be done... And it is in the works. After one week I am amazed!!! Thanks you!!!!!
I am years late. Lol But I did this yesterday afternoon and this morning I have lettuce sprouts coming up the middle already. That is truly magic lol
Nice view i love that veguetable love salad stay safe nice voice
This is such an easy way to grow lettuce, I was amazed at how it changed everyday. I just transferred mine to a pot of soil and can start setting it outside now. Looking forward to trying the other veggies as well, thanks for the idea!
🥰🥰🥰
Thanks, I needed this for my science project I'm doing.
I like how easy the process was when going from day 1 to day 9. That was a great experience. Great video!
Tried it Monday with my romaine and this morning there was a sprout. I could not believe it. What a way to save money and have fun.
I can't wait to try! I googled...how to grow romaine lettuce and you popped up! I can't wait to see my lettuce grow!
You are the first person I actually subscribed and commented on! So worth it, thank you for all of your knowledge!
Soooooo I've tried this and now i've got a stem with buds trying to bloom in the span of 10 days.
I never thought i'd get a sentimental attachment to lettuce in my life, but here we are.
Neighbor does gardening. If it blooms I'll probably offer seeds for spring time.
I loved doing these little experiments when I was a kid. So much fun.

Thank you for the video! Glad to hear you can plant in soil eventially as well.
This is my first time enjoying your TH-cam channel. Great work! I’m looking forward to more great content from you. Thank you so much for this informative video! I got so much out of it.
This was really cool to watch and helpful. I can’t wait to try! Thank you for sharing 🙂
Can't believe it grows so fast! I definitely need to try this!! And great to hear your voice, congrats on the move! :)
Pineapple tops work too!! Well actually, not a lot of regrowth, but the tops can be kept alive in water and then soil. They make cute houseplants. :)
Megan wow that’s awesome!!
I enjoyed the video. A friend tried growing a lettuce from a lettuce, but was unsuccessful, so I will pass on what I learned from your video. Thanks:)
I’m just like your toddler. I look forward to trying this.
🥰🥰🥰
Me too! LOL My children will love this cool experiment! Your salad looks delicious! My MIL tried doing this, but we didn't know about the water and roots. Awesome!
That salad made me hungry the lettuce looked so fresh ☝
💕💕💕
I'm so excited to hear you are moving! Congrats and best wishes to you. ♥️
Thank you so much!!!
I love plants
I'm here because last night I made a salad with a beautifully bright green, crisp, perfect lettuce, and wanted to replicate it. Thanks...😊
🥰🥰🥰
Thank you; this was the best explanation of how to start and when to plant ! 👏👏
Thanks Rachel!
I just did this! I tried two methods- cutting short and leaving some leaves to encourage photosynthesis so the plant doesnt die. The latter seems to be doing better, but my growth under grow lights is much slower than what you had. Green onions work well with this method too.
I didn't know it would keep coming out even if I cut the lettuce. I'm gonna have to try.👍
I've just did this week one done and also did a celery. Put them in bourbon glasses and they have took off. And I have enjoyed every day seeing it grow.
l tried it last week and IT WORKS...thank you
You’re welcome 💖💖💖
OMIGOD!! SO IMPRESSED!! Had no idea thank you for the video!!
Great video...it's amazing how fast it grew❤️🌎✌️
My best friend, It's always great. Your video is excellent quality. We liked and enjoyed to the end.
So much fresher and greener🌿💕
Growing in window now more spring onion tops! I just snip off new tops and use them in my cooking. I change the water daily. I now want to try with romaine lettuce after seeing your video.

That’s called bolting. I have a video on that ☺️

Wow amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this
I just happen to have one more lettuce left for this experiment. Thank you!
Enjoy!! 🥬🥰💖
Thank you my lettuce bolted. However, I know what to do now thank you. Starting over 😄
Lettuce is always more bitter at the white part. I has many a spit moment as a child. Younger leaves do tend to be sweeter. Also there are medicinal qualities to lettuce, especially wild varieties.
Unbelievable. So glad I bumped into your video. We should learn this in school.
Thank you so much Jennifer, this will help me
I like the video and will be growing my own lettuce and other veges
Awesome!!!
In the process now.
Will let you know how it goes.
Thank you! 👍
I'm doing this with celery. I love gardening, I have a mini garden on my balcony.
This looks amazing ! I have to try it
Wonderful and soothing voice, nice video thank you my friend 🙏🏻🌱❤️
Aw thanks for watching ☺️
Thanks, Jennifer. Regrowing my first Romaine lettuce today.
How’s it coming along???
@@JennStavropoulos My now potted celery plants are looking very healthy. Thanks for asking. I was trying to find a way to upload pics of them on TH-cam but sadly could not.
How often do you water potted celery? I just go by how the soil feels.
Thanks for sharing! How many times can you regrow using the same lettuce bottom?
I’ve regrown my romaine this way and it was really cool to watch! What is the best soil you recommend for planting lettuce or veggies?
Thank you so much for the tip! You sound so friendly in your video. 👍🏻👍🏻😁
Aw thanks so much 🥰🥰🥰
You have saved me money! Thank you’
Thanks for sharing the idea.
Nice tip & no waste! Thank you
Thanks Maria

Please tell me what happened
Thank you for sharing this great idea
Wow. So cool. This will happen in my home.
Nice done this and it really work.
It came out well. Thanks for sharing 👍
Mine started bolting and started producing a long stalk instead. I guess I'll have seeds to grow lettuce later though
It's Awesome. This video helped me a lot. And it's wow to know that it can be grown with just water.🙂🙂
Just water, wow... amazing
Thank you for posting!!
I love it
Awesome lettuce
I think this lettuce tastes better
Can’t wait to try this with other veggies! 🥬🥕🥒
I love this, thanks ❤❤❤
Thanks for the video! Amazing! I was curious if I can regrow them in a pot with soil after they have been in the water?
