Mint is so good to grow and use. I have a pot of it growing right outside my front door. Every day on my way to work I pick a leaf and place it in the car vent. What a natural pick me up. It smells so good and gives me a fresh start to my day.
2008MrsKim I have mine outside to see and as I walk by, if I have a cup of coffee, I’ll pick a couple of leaves to my cup of coffee, not bad. I will try the vent aroma idea today!
I have my mint growing by my door. On my way out I pick a few leaves and chew on them on the way to work. Fresh breath and nutrients at the same time. 🌿
A friend gave us some spearmint for tea. It was so good that I was going to ask for some plants, but I did not want to wait, and the spearmint looked so vibrant that I felt confident I could use one of the stems with leaves to start a plant. I cut off all but the top four leaves, place the stem in water for 3 days, then planted it in soil and kept it watered. There was never a moment when it looked like it might wilt, it has been steadily growing, and has started to produce new leaves. Now I am waiting for it to begin to propagate new plants.
Well its been 4 years now Can we have a update on your mint? By now you have probably noticed it taken over your flower bed because its a evasive plant ,i consider it almost as evasive as poison ivy
I just started growing herbs as indoor plants that I take outside when the sun is out. My first 3 herbs are rosemary, basil and mint (although I'm not sure what the variety of mint is). I have a 4th herb, en route from Australia, called Brahmi (which I believe is also known as moneywart). So far, easy to care for: monitor for proper water amounts and proper amounts of sunlight. I enjoyed this video as it is short, to the point and informative.
yep, been growing fresh basil in a jar of water since I was a little girl.. keep it in a windowsill to get plenty of sunshine.. it makes your kitchen smell amazing too ♡
Hi kimberlyparis2733. I very much would like to grow green onions, chives, parsley and cilantro in my house. Don't have any knowledge how to go about it. Would you please help me with this and give me some info how to do it? Please, I would appreciate that very much. Gigi Hammer.
@@gigih.hammer306 It is simple. Get a table and put some small terracotta pots with soil in them. Place small plants or seed in each one. Amazon sells grow lights. I put my table by the window and have a grow light. Your grow light should not be on more than 8 hours.
@@jbharco40 I tried that. All of them croaked. When my husband was alive, for 5 years we tried growing Tomato's. We didn't get one. Same with my Lilac bush. I planted them 6 years ago. Don't you think it would show me one flower on it. It has yet to show up. I baby that plant, give it extra fertilizer, spray it with bug spray. Nothing is happening. What else could I do? I'm ready to give up. I planted perennial flowers. Did the come back the following year. Noooo. The only flower that showed up, were blue Bonnet. I didn't do anything to them, They just showed up by itself. I got to be something terrible wrong. What in Gods name is it?
This is called the "kratky method" of hydroponics. You will need hydroponic nutrients in order for your plant to actually grow, the water itself does not contain the nutrients required to sustain life let alone grow any bigger. Also if you wanna increase the survival rate of your cuttings make sure to pick up some rooting gel this will assist the plant in creating roots in order to actually grow instead of just sitting there slowly getting more brown till it dies.
I put some wierd plant only in water thinking it wasn't going to survive in the kitchen/saw it as temporary decor. Boy was I wrong. It's been a year and has grown so much. Perhaps it has lasted because of my mom's crazy way of cooking causing food particles to land in the plant & provide the necessary nutrients?
@@mj-zh6gu still, it's an excellent way to get starter plants for the spring, while having a little to use in the winter I take cuttings from my tomatoes late summer every year, and root them in water over the winter, then I have mature plants to go into the ground when the weather warms enough I only bought one plant 5 years ago
@@Bluebelle51 if you have a few minutes will you share about the tomato cuttings. I had some really good roma tomato plants last year and would have liked to keep them going.
Yes, not like the chive talking you usually get on these videos. I don't know if Hettor gets paid for these comments, but if so I say we double his/her celery. I doubt Hettor mint for us to make such a big dill out of his/her comment. Herrot probably doesn't carrot all what we think.
I think that: a) You'll really eventually need to add some micronutrients to the water. Plants do need more than water and sunlight to grow, blossom, and eventually bare fruit. Even the aquatic plants do. b) some of the herbs mentioned are xerophytes. They may grow root from a stalk in water, but they won't thrive from water alone. Examples from the vid: Sage and Rosemary. You see those naturally growing on rocky, dry ground or limestone, exposed to the direct sunlight most of the day.
I'm only interested in starting things in water. I have been successful starting spearmint and basil and tomato plants in water but my current experiment with parsley and cilantro as someone claimed they root in water on the internet is not going well after 3 weeks. Once the plants rooted in water, form enough roots I plant them in potting soil. I know I could babysit stem cuttings but this is easier for me.
Thanks for this comment. I was thinking: “SURELY thats not true “. The reason I thought that, was, that if it were true that plants inly needed water, all the gardening shows and gardeners in the world would have stopped planting anything long ago. But then i thought - well why would they make a video like this if it was NOT do-able? So it was confusing. It is rather strange
There is a difference between growing in plain water and hydroponics as shown in the example. You might get a few roots but the plants need a brief reprieve from constant water, and also need nutrients. Roots don’t like sunlight either.
I had a purple basil in a jar on my kitchen window sill for almost a year. I decided to plant it outside and actually did a couple of cuttings, rooted them the same way, then planted them all outside. The two cuttings survived and the mother plant didn't. It was too used to living in water so it got too much shock being moved to soil. The young roots of the fresher cuttings were more easily adaptable to the new environment.
Can't just use any old water if it's town water would not work If you have a small fish tank with a gold fish in you can use that water Or if fish tank that has a filter just squeeze the filter out every so often in two gallons of water to feed your plants Keep in mind tho once roots are established you can't keep jar completely full because will drown plant Plant grows air roots above the water Also need paint the jar or use tin foil to block light or algae will grow They do sell hydroponics liquid fertilizer but I prefer doing more natural with fish water Plus I get to enjoy looking at the fish 😍 I use this method I fill with leca You can use perlite also just fill up to the hose with some pebbles first th-cam.com/video/pUa_UixXRfk/w-d-xo.html
NPK when using fertilizer N is nitrogen and always the first number and what you want for starting roots P is for phosphorus and the second number and you will chose a fertilizer with the higher 2nd number once it flowers or fruits, 3rd number is pot ash Miracle grow is normally 20-20-20 but once you flower you want to jump to like a 10-20-10
What Do the Numbers on Fertilizer Mean? The three numbers on fertilizer represents the value of the three macro-nutrients used by plants. These macro-nutrients are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K), or NPK for short. The higher the number, the more concentrated the nutrient is in the fertilizer. For example, numbers on fertilizer listed as 20-5-5 has four times more nitrogen in it than phosphorus and potassium. A 20-20-20 fertilizer has twice as much concentration of all three nutrients than 10-10-10. The fertilizer numbers can be used to calculate how much of a fertilizer needs to be applied to equal 1 pound (453.5 g.) of the nutrient you are trying to add to the soil. So if the numbers on the fertilizer are 10-10-10, you can divide 100 by 10 and this will tell you that you need 10 pounds (4.5 kg.) of the fertilizer to add 1 pound (453.5 g.) of the nutrient to the soil. If the fertilizer numbers were 20-20-20, you divide 100 by 20 and you know that it will take 5 pounds (2 kg.) of the fertilizer to add 1 pound (453.5 g.) of the nutrient to the soil. A fertilizer that contains only one macro-nutrient will have “0” in the other values. For example, if a fertilizer is 10-0-0, then it only contains nitrogen. These fertilizer numbers, also called NPK values, should appear on any fertilizer you purchase, whether it is an organic fertilizer or a chemical fertilizer. What is NPK and Why is it Important? So now that you know what the numbers on fertilizer mean, you need to know why NPK is important to your plants. All plants need nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to grow. Without enough of any one of these nutrients, a plant will fail. Nitrogen (N) - Nitrogen is largely responsible for the growth of leaves on the plant. Phosphorus (P) - Phosphorus is largely responsible for root growth and flower and fruit development. Potassium (K) - Potassium is a nutrient that helps the overall functions of the plant perform correctly. Knowing the NPK values of a fertilizer can help you select one that is appropriate for the type of plant you are growing. For example, if you are growing leafy vegetables, you may want to apply a fertilizer that has a higher nitrogen number to encourage leafy growth. If you are growing flowers, you may want to apply a fertilizer that has a higher phosphorus number to encourage more blooms. Before you apply fertilizer to your garden beds, you should have your soil tested. This will also help you determine what balance of fertilizer numbers will be appropriate for your garden’s soil needs and deficiencies.

I bought a Basil plant 3 summer's back and have been propagating cuttings off of it since. I've got 2 new plants growing now! The plant that just keeps giving! I'm trying mint now and some rosemary to add to my window garden!
How big do the leaves get? How often should you change the water? What temperature should the water be? I have never heard of growing herbs in water, just dirt.
Thank -You 💐 Without Your Wonderful Guidance I Would Never Have Learn't To Appreciate The Full Value Of Fresh Herbs Using Your Simple Idea With Just a Glass Jar.Its a Great Help!👍
I started growing scallions out of curiosity and because I can never get enough of them. Cut off the top third of the stem for your salad then plop them in a jar of water and put under a strong light in the kitchen or on a sunny window sill. The center will grow every day so cut them as you need them. Eventually they grow thinner but will have more juice.
Thank you so much. I've always wanted to have an herb garden in my kitchen and I get lots of sunlight and downstairs we have a massive window that would be great for all kinds of plants and herbs. Thanks for sharing.
@@ThatGuy-ul5ow .... what do you think the point of watching videos on a subject... hint: it's to be taught, ppl want to make sure they're doing it right
I started putting basil cuttings in water just to keep them fresh til I needed them. Then I started planting those that got lots of roots. Now I am up to my eyebrows in basil and totally involved in aromatherapy. Nothing matches the smell of basil on my tension headaches.
Just started propagating basil from a purchased basil plant. Started clippings in jar of water. I have five or six new plants flourishing in planters on back patio. No more store bought basil for me!
Out of: Sage, rosemary, lemon grass, tulsi, purple basil, thyme and basil; the last three were the only ones I was able to root through this method with the last one dying shortly after potting. My basil and thyme are doing great, however. There has to be a trick to each one. I know certain plants can be propagated in a variety of ways so I wonder if the exact point which is to be rooted differs from herb to herb...
Aaron Edvalson some plants don't like to being next to each another. I only know this by planting certain plants next to each other in the garden and how well the grow. I have never tried to grow herbs so I'm not sure if this plants do or do not like being next to each other. I have also ready about this but can't remember where, sorry. Good luck
I grow rosemary and oregano at my front door. They plants love sun and lots of water. Just huck some fert on it occasionally. Oregano can be dried in a bath towel under a fan. I pick the sticks out and have tons of it for spaghetti sauces.
Lots of comments on the pronunciation of herb. In some countries they do pronounce it as "erb" and not herb. It all depends on where you are from. It does sound strange though if you are not used to this.
The h is not pronounced by Americans. It is pronounced by English (and other British) people. This page dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/herb?q=herb
Love your video. Good idea to grow the herbs in jars. I have mint growing in a jar. Actually I wanted to let out the roots to plant it in the pot. Surprisingly I see my mint actually growing in the jar. It looks beautiful and crisp on my kitchen window sill. I don't feel like planting it in the pot now! Never thought the plant can survive and grow just in water! Amazing!!
love the video, I have grown herbs and other plants in jars and different containers, You just have to make sure they have enough nutrients and sunlight, you have to monitor the plant. I have a video on container gardening where I use different containers to plant different vegetables.
I think this is the best video I've ever watching. I loved hereing the tone of your voice and hearing you explain everything made this a very easy video to watch.
1:21 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil Basil is native to tropical regions from central Africa to Southeast Asia.[4] It is a tender plant, and is used in cuisines worldwide. Basil is worldwide commonly used in Italy too. It is not Italian Herb :D
I notice the jars are specialized, you can see a suspender on the top of the jar so it can root without touching the bottom. We Are not informed about it and I wonder why?
Water alone will not give you "endless supply". Plants need minerals to grow which are not supplied by water on it's own. Basic biology. It will grow for a while but start to lose taste and eventually it will die. I came here for the thumbnail because it shows an interesting way to keep plants watered. Wasn't mentioned.
really good video. I have done most of these and it really works..you can line up fresh herbs in your kitchen window! Magic. Sooo mych better than the powdered (probably 2 year old ones you get at the supermarket. And free!
Agree. It prefers dry-ish soil. The best way to propograte it is to clip off piece of mature plant and plant it in well drained soil and water once a week.
Thumbs up not just for the wonderful information but for having a human narrator. If you had used a creepy computer voice, I would have immediately given it a thumbs down and not watched the video. Thank you for both the info and the human narrator.
Usually the creepy computer voice indicates someone who either can't speak English and composed their video using Google translate or someone who speaks English but with an atrocious accent. Should such people be banned from making TH-cam videos until they (A) learn to speak English, (B) lose the accent, or (C) pay/persuade someone to narrate for them? For many these options aren't realistic options at all. Don't you hate it when you dial tech support and someone with a unintelligibly thick foreign accent answers the phone? Frankly I'd prefer the robot voice.
sashay cashay I do! When they use computer voices it isn't just that it's creepy but it takes a job away from a human. With all the out sourcing of jobs to foreign countries do we really want to encourage out sourcing jobs to computers? It already happens too often. I won't use the self checkouts at stores for the same reason.
I do cuttings/clones all the time for many plants even some trees. In my 20's when i first stated cloning my medicinal herbs (cough cough) i used to use a cloning/rooting powder. but have learned that you really dont need it. all you need to do is make sure they get enought light and that the water stays warm. i used to use a heating pad under my cuttings/clones. now i usually ony do it in the spring and summer so the water stay warm anyways.
I just started to grow basil. I planted it in soil but I wish I did it with water. Anyway, I intend to grow my little herb garden. I live in an apartment. What is "hydroponic nutrients" and how do I buy them? Great info by the way! Thank you.
Basil(Tulsi) is an indian herb not italian. Worshipped since thousands of years in india. 70% of Indian homes have Basil(Tulsi) growing. The first plant of an indian home is basil. Just for fact correction.
I don't know a thing about growing Herbs inside my home. Don't have a green thumb. Can I use seeds and grow them inside my home? Would like to grow parsley, chives and more. Also cilantro. Could I grow them in red drinking cups? I probably have to buy good dirt. Would I also need fertilizer? I tried growing Tomatoes outside. My husband and I tried several times. Never had any luck. We used good dirt, but they never produced one tomato. After several attempts, we gave up. I live 25 miles away from Abilene Texas. The ground here is very poor. I planted a rose bush. It turned out to be a tree. It looks pity full. It only blooms one time for a very short time. Please send me a reply. Thank you, and have a pleasant evening.
We have an " Aero-Garden " hydroponic growing system. Beyond the available and numorous planting packs, many herbs grow really well in this little unit year round ! I should also mention that it has an intrical grow light as part of it's design. Fresh lettuce year round is great as well ! We love it !
RAYMOND PARSONS where did you get your aeroponics system from? I saw a video of someone using it but couldn't find it again after that. Would love to know more about it!
Sheila Gibson I am going to try to find the information on it. I am not sure if they are still available or if they are still in business. Will get right back to you when I have more information for you.
Just buy a nice piece of ginger from the fresh food section at the grocery store. Lay the root on top of a large planter of potting soil & lightly water. It will sprout from the eyes of the piece and root all by itself and then you can transplant it in the ground.
Nice sunny spot, water & patience. I was able to clip off a not-so-woody segment and let it do its thing. It started to root about 7-10 days after the clip into water. I clipped off about 8 pieces and 1 was stable enough to carry on. I have a nice producing plant surrounded by oregano. Good luck!!
@@carpediemlise, you have to change the water every day, otherwise the plant rots. Maybe your could leave it 2 or 3 days but changing the water every day works. Even plain water kept in a glass for a time will go slimey. I have managed to get garlic and a pineapple top to start making roots - keep the water clean.
go to steve plant shop, ask for rosemary! she is wise as a sage! she is from basil! she drinks oregano gold coffee! she will look at you and balm! give you a cutting!
What's your point? Your first Herbs is the American pronounciation and your second Herbs is the English. It sounds like you have never visited another part of the the USA or another country. so FYI Every local and in the USA has its own accent as well as other countries that speak English as a first or second language. The point of the article is to show one how to grow some herbs in water...so just be grateful for that
American:"Why the fuss about the letter "aytch"? I honestly think we should honor the fact that in the word "herb" the "aytch" is silent. Brit:"Oi 'ate 'ow you yanks don't pronounce the "haytch". So 'ow bout we 'op on over to my 'ouse and 'ave a spot of HHHHHHerbal tea, bruv?"
Check Amazon for hydroponic fertilizers. They're cheap and specific to types of plants. For this you would want a vegetative hydroponic fertilizer. Best of luck

I grow in a aquaponic unit in the home. A water feature, soothing to sleep by and grows herbs and greens very well.
I love seeing my Herbs grow and regrow and regrow over and over again in my little jars 💚😊🌿
More instruction on exactly how to do this in the jar would have been nice
there are details given
Can't just use any old water if it's town water would not work
If you have a small fish tank with a gold fish in you can use that water
Or if fish tank that has a filter just squeeze the filter out every so often in two gallons of water to feed your plants
Keep in mind tho once roots are established you can't keep jar completely full because will drown plant
Plant grows air roots above the water
Also need paint the jar or use tin foil to block light or algae will grow
They do sell hydroponics liquid fertilizer but I prefer doing more natural with fish water
Plus I get to enjoy looking at the fish 😍
I use this method I fill with leca
You can use perlite also just fill up to the hose with some pebbles first

So if the numbers on the fertilizer are 10-10-10, you can divide 100 by 10 and this will tell you that you need 10 pounds (4.5 kg.) of the fertilizer to add 1 pound (453.5 g.) of the nutrient to the soil. If the fertilizer numbers were 20-20-20, you divide 100 by 20 and you know that it will take 5 pounds (2 kg.) of the fertilizer to add 1 pound (453.5 g.) of the nutrient to the soil. A fertilizer that contains only one macro-nutrient will have “0” in the other values. For example, if a fertilizer is 10-0-0, then it only contains nitrogen. These fertilizer numbers, also called NPK values, should appear on any fertilizer you purchase, whether it is an organic fertilizer or a chemical fertilizer. What is NPK and Why is it Important? So now that you know what the numbers on fertilizer mean, you need to know why NPK is important to your plants. All plants need nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to grow. Without enough of any one of these nutrients, a plant will fail. Nitrogen (N) - Nitrogen is largely responsible for the growth of leaves on the plant. Phosphorus (P) - Phosphorus is largely responsible for root growth and flower and fruit development. Potassium (K) - Potassium is a nutrient that helps the overall functions of the plant perform correctly. Knowing the NPK values of a fertilizer can help you select one that is appropriate for the type of plant you are growing. For example, if you are growing leafy vegetables, you may want to apply a fertilizer that has a higher nitrogen number to encourage leafy growth. If you are growing flowers, you may want to apply a fertilizer that has a higher phosphorus number to encourage more blooms. Before you apply fertilizer to your garden beds, you should have your soil tested. This will also help you determine what balance of fertilizer numbers will be appropriate for your garden’s soil needs and deficiencies.

I grew Basil from my plants when they were getting old, by doing what she said in another video and had basil all year last year!
I just started to grow celery and spring onions in water jars last week. it's really fun :) I already mentioned it to a few friends too! I think I'll try mint and stevia now, thanks for the tip! :)))
Add the 3 inch trimmed butts of romanine lettuce to water and watch them grow! 👍
Hve they grown
3 years ago I was tested herpes virus positive, which I has spent a lot of money to get rid of it, so few month a ago a friend introduce me to a natural traditional healer who own an herbal doctor in Africa,Whatsapp: +2348159907568 he prepare me a natural herbal treatment which I only took within the period of 14 days and I got cured totally without any bad effect. He said he also has cure to hepatitis B, Hiv, Diabetic, STD, HPV, erectile problem, epilepsy and other diseases. EMAIL HIM: drokohcuringherpes@gmail.com Whatsapp: [+2348159907568'\]
They actually grow even better when you cut them. ✂️ my green onions growth accelerated rapidly
I bought a Basil plant 3 summer's back and have been propagating cuttings off of it since. I've got 2 new plants growing now! The plant that just keeps giving!
I'm trying mint now and some rosemary to add to my window garden!
How big do the leaves get? How often should you change the water? What temperature should the water be? I have never heard of growing herbs in water, just dirt.
Thank -You 💐 Without Your Wonderful Guidance I Would Never Have Learn't To Appreciate The Full Value Of Fresh Herbs Using Your Simple Idea With Just a Glass Jar.Its a Great Help!👍
You can sprinkle some kelp powder in the water for nutrients. It's cheap!
Sajc Emmanuel that’s a great idea and I have lots of it already 👌🏼
I started growing scallions out of curiosity and because I can never get enough of them. Cut off the top third of the stem for your salad then plop them in a jar of water and put under a strong light in the kitchen or on a sunny window sill. The center will grow every day so cut them as you need them. Eventually they grow thinner but will have more juice.
I would have loved more details. Especially on the hydroponic nutrients. Good information simply on what herbs WILL grow in water.
What are the things sitting inside your mason jars that are holding the stems?
Thank you so much. I've always wanted to have an herb garden in my kitchen and I get lots of sunlight and downstairs we have a massive window that would be great for all kinds of plants and herbs. Thanks for sharing.
i dont think it was very helpful. keep in sunlight, grow in water.... what she should have shown was how to make those mason jar planters.
she is just telling what herbs can be grown in water, not how to do it. there's not that much to it.
Pick your nose and pick you bum, now you have poo on ur boogerie finger.
P.s. figure it out
Those Mason jar pictures are from etsy, you can buy them
kyblbrd1 go to the dollar store they have them & everything else.
@@ThatGuy-ul5ow .... what do you think the point of watching videos on a subject... hint: it's to be taught, ppl want to make sure they're doing it right
I started putting basil cuttings in water just to keep them fresh til I needed them. Then I started planting those that got lots of roots. Now I am up to my eyebrows in basil and totally involved in aromatherapy. Nothing matches the smell of basil on my tension headaches.
Really! I have got to try this. Camomile tea works well too
Just started propagating basil from a purchased basil plant. Started clippings in jar of water. I have five or six new plants flourishing in planters on back patio. No more store bought basil for me!
Out of:
Sage, rosemary, lemon grass, tulsi, purple basil, thyme and basil; the last three were the only ones I was able to root through this method with the last one dying shortly after potting. My basil and thyme are doing great, however. There has to be a trick to each one. I know certain plants can be propagated in a variety of ways so I wonder if the exact point which is to be rooted differs from herb to herb...
Aaron Edvalson some plants don't like to being next to each another. I only know this by planting certain plants next to each other in the garden and how well the grow. I have never tried to grow herbs so I'm not sure if this plants do or do not like being next to each other.
I have also ready about this but can't remember where, sorry.
Good luck
Aaron Edvalson
Aaron Edvalson I know it's worked for rosemary (but slowly), lemon balm, basil (in days!!)... haven't tried the others, yet..
I grow rosemary and oregano at my front door. They plants love sun and lots of water. Just huck some fert on it occasionally. Oregano can be dried in a bath towel under a fan. I pick the sticks out and have tons of it for spaghetti sauces.
Lots of comments on the pronunciation of herb. In some countries they do pronounce it as "erb" and not herb. It all depends on where you are from. It does sound strange though if you are not used to this.
The h is not pronounced by Americans. It is pronounced by English (and other British) people. This page dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/herb?q=herb
She sounds like she is burping URB!
I don't care how they pronounce it; I only want to grow it!
You say 'erb and 'otel. I say Herb and Hotel
Yes it annoys me as the word starts with the letter "h" so should be pronounced "Herb"
So a stem in water in a jar and then you have to add NPK.
Plenty of nitrogen is in urine. Where to get the phosphorus and potassium?
Love your video. Good idea to grow the herbs in jars. I have mint growing in a jar. Actually I wanted to let out the roots to plant it in the pot. Surprisingly I see my mint actually growing in the jar. It looks beautiful and crisp on my kitchen window sill. I don't feel like planting it in the pot now! Never thought the plant can survive and grow just in water! Amazing!!
I am going to grow some plants in water but I don't know which kinda plants can I choose, you give me a good sample, thanks a lot.
love the video, I have grown herbs and other plants in jars and different containers, You just have to make sure they have enough nutrients and sunlight, you have to monitor the plant. I have a video on container gardening where I use different containers to plant different vegetables.
Helpful, useful,& informative video. These herbs are part of our daily lives one way or the other.
Great info! Love using fresh herbs when I cook and make soap!
thank you for all the great info on these herbs my neighbor started me off with basil and you gave me the rest thank you
Hi 👋 how are you
Hi, may I know how about Parsley? Can it grow into water as well? Thanks
exactly my question.. you should know by now.. let me know.. cheers
Thanks
We tried and it works
Any local nursery sells all of the above mentioned plants. I am giving it a try.
grocery stores too
Finally! An awesome channel without a robot voice!
Resident evil taught me that mixing green red blue herb gives a permanent health increase. Guess it's true . Lol
😂👍
Lmaooooo
I think this is the best video I've ever watching. I loved hereing the tone of your voice and hearing you explain everything made this a very easy video to watch.
1:21
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basil
Basil is native to tropical regions from central Africa to Southeast Asia.[4] It is a tender plant, and is used in cuisines worldwide.
Basil is worldwide commonly used in Italy too. It is not Italian Herb :D
All herb thank best video informtion my favourite is rose marry pepper mint I have is plant in pots yes l like natural is very wonderful
I notice the jars are specialized, you can see a suspender on the top of the jar so it can root without touching the bottom. We Are not informed about it and I wonder why?
Autoflowering cannanis is also a herb you can grow in a well lit window , not a high yeild meaning personal supply only
I currently have papermint in my window and it is growing pretty steadily. I use it almost every day in my teas
Voleta Chapman no mojitos?
what's the climate like where you live?
Just started propagating thyme and basil today.
I'm hungry
Me too
Me too
😂same!
I'm Angry!
I’m so full 🤢
Not sure if this counts but i grew catnip in a mason jar for a year ad harvested it for my cats and to make tea.
Water alone will not give you "endless supply". Plants need minerals to grow which are not supplied by water on it's own. Basic biology. It will grow for a while but start to lose taste and eventually it will die. I came here for the thumbnail because it shows an interesting way to keep plants watered. Wasn't mentioned.
Sadly few people do understand this. Watch comments!
Is adding Miracle Grow to the water a good idea? ?
You can also do this with chicken wings, just plant what you don’t eat and you’ll have free chicken for life
😂😂😂
Same with pizza crusts and sandwich crusts, ergo pizza plants and PB&J plants. 🤪
You can also take an aloe vera plant stem place it in a jar and it will root. Then plant in soil.
Change the water every 2-3 days, don't let it get cloudy or you risk losing your cuttings to rot.
Will you ever need to transfer the plans to soil? Or will they continue to grow in water??
really good video. I have done most of these and it really works..you can line up fresh herbs in your kitchen window! Magic. Sooo mych better than the powdered (probably 2 year old ones you get at the supermarket. And free!
You can really grow a parsley?
NOT ONLY DOES IT LOWER STRESS
BUT BY DOING SO
IT LOWERS THE HARMFUL CORTISOL LEVELS
i'll try all of them
Is it really works....
Can you tell me what is the object that is in the Mason jars right under the lids? Thanks for the idea
Rosemary is almost impossible to get to water root. Tried for years
Bithri satti
Agree. It prefers dry-ish soil. The best way to propograte it is to clip off piece of mature plant and plant it in well drained soil and water once a week.
No, my friend successed with this and it grows to a beautiful rosemary now
Try taking a cutting thats older
Can you also grow cilantro? I'm guessing yes. How much sun etc? Thanks!
Thumbs up not just for the wonderful information but for having a human narrator. If you had used a creepy computer voice, I would have immediately given it a thumbs down and not watched the video. Thank you for both the info and the human narrator.
Usually the creepy computer voice indicates someone who either can't speak English and composed their video using Google translate or someone who speaks English but with an atrocious accent. Should such people be banned from making TH-cam videos until they (A) learn to speak English, (B) lose the accent, or (C) pay/persuade someone to narrate for them? For many these options aren't realistic options at all.
Don't you hate it when you dial tech support and someone with a unintelligibly thick foreign accent answers the phone? Frankly I'd prefer the robot voice.
Blanche Konieczka WHO CARES WHAT TYPE OF VOICE IT IS AS LONG AS YOUR GETTING KNOWLEDGE&WISDOM
sashay cashay I do! When they use computer voices it isn't just that it's creepy but it takes a job away from a human. With all the out sourcing of jobs to foreign countries do we really want to encourage out sourcing jobs to computers? It already happens too often. I won't use the self checkouts at stores for the same reason.
Those computer generated voices are just irritating to listen to.
Blanche Konieczka l
I do cuttings/clones all the time for many plants even some trees. In my 20's when i first stated cloning my medicinal herbs (cough cough) i used to use a cloning/rooting powder. but have learned that you really dont need it. all you need to do is make sure they get enought light and that the water stays warm. i used to use a heating pad under my cuttings/clones. now i usually ony do it in the spring and summer so the water stay warm anyways.
lmao the basil in the spaghetti on the page about oregano... hahahahah I'm dead
I just started to grow basil. I planted it in soil but I wish I did it with water. Anyway, I intend to grow my little herb garden. I live in an apartment. What is "hydroponic nutrients" and how do I buy them? Great info by the way! Thank you.
You have a goldmine with your basil plant! Simply do cuttings from it and re-root in water and re-plant. You'll have basil for life from ONE PLANT.
Start by showing how to make the mason jar plantar. Duhhhh!
They are called net cups or net mesh and can be bought in sizes that fit Mason jar lids.
JUST LOVE IT.....I USE A LOT OF HERBS AND FRESH ARE EXPENSIVE IN THE STORE...
Isn't it true that you have to use a 'colored' jar or wrap the jar in dark paper to keep Algae from growing in the water?
True
What hydroponic food so you add to herb cuttings being grown in water. I am a newbee
I just love your channel!! I am always learning something valuable and new! Thanks, and have a great day! Di from Nova Scotia
dianne11ca thanksssssss
Good job, i will try all. from Kenya
Thanks again for the content! Could you please explain what are those things at the top of the jar? They seem to hold the herbs nicely!
they are hydro pots you can pic them up cheep at any grow store
Marta Piqueras-Brunet Thanks for asking as I was wondering the same thing!
ManabuFarms Thanks!

why do I need it?
+Sheila Gibson Why are you asking about growing plants? Don't you want to say something obscene about someone's dialect?
peppermint
oregano
sage
basil
stevia
thyme
rosemary
lemon balm
chives
add hydroponic nutrients
Basil(Tulsi) is an indian herb not italian.
Worshipped since thousands of years in india.
70% of Indian homes have Basil(Tulsi) growing.
The first plant of an indian home is basil.
Just for fact correction.
I don't know a thing about growing Herbs inside my home. Don't have a green thumb. Can I use seeds and grow them inside my home? Would like to grow parsley, chives and more. Also cilantro. Could I grow them in red drinking cups? I probably have to buy good dirt. Would I also need fertilizer? I tried growing Tomatoes outside. My husband and I tried several times. Never had any luck. We used good dirt, but they never produced one tomato. After several attempts, we gave up. I live 25 miles away from Abilene Texas. The ground here is very poor. I planted a rose bush. It turned out to be a tree. It looks pity full. It only blooms one time for a very short time. Please send me a reply. Thank you, and have a pleasant evening.
We have an
" Aero-Garden " hydroponic growing system.
Beyond the available and numorous planting packs, many herbs grow really well in this little unit year round !
I should also mention that it has an intrical grow light as part of it's design.
Fresh lettuce year round is great as well !
We love it !
RAYMOND PARSONS where did you get your aeroponics system from? I saw a video of someone using it but couldn't find it again after that. Would love to know more about it!
Sheila Gibson
I am going to try to find the information on it.
I am not sure if they are still available or if they are still in business.
Will get right back to you when I have more information for you.
Aero garden sells it on amazon amzn.to/2hgGjWy hope that helps
Just search TH-cam for Hydroponic and it will bring up many others doing hydroponic growing.
Chill Goa Amazon
Does it matter what kind of glass jar you put them in? How
Oh no! We're running out of Thyme!
Bah dum dum tss! :)
Meminto mori.
Wow amazing..i love it so much.. i like the videos you shared im a gardening lover..from the Philippines..

What about cilantro?
Known as Coriander here in England
Vernon Maldoom wait for real? I wonder if that’s why I can’t find cilantro in Korea. Do you think they call it Coriander here as well? Interesting
Yeah, what about it?
Sagar Rao Insightful comment
Actually, coriander refers to the seed. Cilantro refers to the leaf. Same plant. Don't see why it wouldn't be worth trying as suggested in the video.
Thank u po for the tips❤
I've grown ginger
Elizabeth Armendariz how
Just buy a nice piece of ginger from the fresh food section at the grocery store. Lay the root on top of a large planter of potting soil & lightly water. It will sprout from the eyes of the piece and root all by itself and then you can transplant it in the ground.
I Am creative Cool
Elizabeth Armendariz t
Suggest you stay out of the sun then.
very interesting ideas of growing herbs
Happy to report back that I have NOW finally have cloned rosemary from the mother plant!!
How? I have been trying with no success. Thank you!
Nice sunny spot, water & patience. I was able to clip off a not-so-woody segment and let it do its thing. It started to root about 7-10 days after the clip into water. I clipped off about 8 pieces and 1 was stable enough to carry on. I have a nice producing plant surrounded by oregano. Good luck!!
@@carpediemlise, you have to change the water every day, otherwise the plant rots. Maybe your could leave it 2 or 3 days but changing the water every day works. Even plain water kept in a glass for a time will go slimey. I have managed to get garlic and a pineapple top to start making roots - keep the water clean.
Basil...my favorite!
Where do you buy stevia plant s?
Local nursery. Walmart, lowes, home depot garden centers. Sweet basil is easy to grow. I grow it under my fruit trees in arizona
I got my at Lowes
Lou Buf local nursery watch for ants they love it too.
Lou Buf I know you can get it at my school fair! Lol
go to steve plant shop, ask for rosemary! she is wise as a sage! she is from basil! she drinks oregano gold coffee! she will look at you and balm! give you a cutting!
Thanks for sharing our gifts...
Happy HERB DAY
I've never grown Urbs in a jar full of warder but have grown loads of Herbs in jars full of water.
What's your point? Your first Herbs is the American pronounciation and your second Herbs is the English. It sounds like you have never visited another part of the the USA or another country. so FYI Every local and in the USA has its own accent as well as other countries that speak English as a first or second language. The point of the article is to show one how to grow some herbs in water...so just be grateful for that
Celine Federici very true. These people just think they're the only ones to exist.
ove you oments but i use a beaker of h2o to develop my cotyledons!
pete fudge I laughed more than I should 😂😂😂😂😂
pete fudge this is Gold 😂😂😂😂😂
How often should you change the water?
peppermint soup?
why not call it tea maybe? 😀
So a stem will grow roots in water? 😲
2:02 and then remove the leaves to use in coccaine
I am growing celery in a jar in the house right now. On a shelf not even on a window seal.
American:"Why the fuss about the letter "aytch"? I honestly think we should honor the fact that in the word "herb" the "aytch" is silent.
Brit:"Oi 'ate 'ow you yanks don't pronounce the "haytch". So 'ow bout we 'op on over to my 'ouse and 'ave a spot of HHHHHHerbal tea, bruv?"
My question: After growing in water with lots of roots, how to plant them in pots? answer please
How do we make hydroponic liquid?
Check Amazon for hydroponic fertilizers. They're cheap and specific to types of plants. For this you would want a vegetative hydroponic fertilizer. Best of luck
Make hydroponic liquid. DIY

Any 15-30-15 fertilizer will do. Miracle Grow for instance. :)
sage can be used with tea, like peppermint! the arabs use it well. they dry the sage leafs and use it in tea. its healthy and help with stomchake!
