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. 🌿
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 ♡
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.
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
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?
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.
@@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

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.

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.

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.
@@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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
i grow all of these in soil and water but the Stevia i only new to grow that one in soil, thank you so much i am out to the garden to clone some Stevia
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?"
Thank you for this info, but it would've been better if you broke down what hydroponic nutrients were and given an example of it, also how to make those nice jars planters i'm gonna try again to grow these herbs they always end up dying and i always used to put them into dirt now i will just use water and see how they come out.
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.
This technique can work for growing most herbs and even vegetables. However, chives are not one of them. Chives will rot in water. They produce from a bulb or seed, like onion. The blades themselves will not produce root in water. Stick to woody stemmed herbs such as oregano thyme rosemary or basil. The woodsy stem on them are covered in tiny "hairs" that will grow into roots.
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!
muzzgit No, I mean why does everyone care? Because it's not a life-or-death situation. You don't have to criticize her voice saying it the way she wants to say it instead of how you want her to say it. So don't come at me with that shit, because it has an H in it...
It's probably because the ones complaining are English. dropping the H in words such as herb sets off an irrational anger that we cannot control, it's like nails down a chalk board. its weird but the way Americans pronounce words like aluminium, basil and oregano set us off as well. I honestly don't know why they have the effect, maybe because it's just enough off sounding that it's 'wrong' but right enough that we can clearly understand it.
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
Nahid Khan. Cooking shows in the US have many Italian dishes. Basil ia always shown. That's why people think it's Italian. They don't know most of our spices originated in India and came west by caravans, long ago.
Indian basil is quite different than Italian and known as Tulsi or holy basil and not used in preparing food. It is used for the purpose of religious worship
Actually basil could be from India or China, there isn't any definitive proof. Though the Indians were the first ones to use it consistently. You can check out my herb facts videos on my channel if you want to find out more.
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.
It looks like you need net pots for this? Also, there is a specific sized net pot that fits perfectly in Mason Jars. I didn't ever get to try hydroponic growing yet because the nutrients seem expensive but! There are natural organic liquid fertilizers you can make from some home ingredients. As an example, banana peels that have been left in water for 3 days or so in a container of some sort can be probably be used. The liquid should be strained with a cloth. Urine could potentially be the best 'free' fertilizer (gross I know) but it should probably be diluted with water first. It isn't ideal for leafy plants though apparently. Egg shell powder can be added to this I think and if it sits in the sun (or just a sunny location?) I believe this will add a good calcium boost to the ... urine. Not sure if the powder gets absorbed or what. Haven't tried any of this but still there are plenty of options that are green and economical. I'm still researching. Don't shoot me...
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 am growing spring onions, I didn't know they need sunlight, but they are growing at least half inch each day, already cut a chunk of 5" for my yesterday's curry. and still growing. :) I am gonna use more jars and keep them growing. Can someone tell me, how long will it keep growing from same onion root?
Dazza Retro But she is speaking in a North American dialect, so it’s appropriate. Can you explain why her pronunciation is relevant here? Did it keep you from understanding the content somehow?
If your name is Herbert it's pronounced with the H. Talking about herbs, the h is silent. Do people reading about pneumonia on the web argue about pronunciation this much. Let's embrace our differences, y'all!

I would have loved more details. Especially on the hydroponic nutrients. Good information simply on what herbs WILL grow in water.
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.
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

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 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
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"
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
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.

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
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.
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..
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.
Great info! Love using fresh herbs when I cook and make soap!
Finally! An awesome channel without a robot voice!
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 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.
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.
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?
NOT ONLY DOES IT LOWER STRESS
BUT BY DOING SO
IT LOWERS THE HARMFUL CORTISOL LEVELS
Any local nursery sells all of the above mentioned plants. I am giving it a try.
grocery stores too
I am growing celery in a jar in the house right now. On a shelf not even on a window seal.
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!
Change the water every few days to avoid bacterial growth. & keep in non see-through jars.
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
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!
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
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.
i'll try all of them
Is it really works....
Just started propagating thyme and basil today.
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
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
JUST LOVE IT.....I USE A LOT OF HERBS AND FRESH ARE EXPENSIVE IN THE STORE...
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.
i grow all of these in soil and water but the Stevia i only new to grow that one in soil, thank you so much i am out to the garden to clone some Stevia
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
Never, but thank you for this wonderful and needed information. Herbs in a jar, here I come. 😘
Brilliant and Simple way of GROWING....
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. 🤪
Everyones complaining about her pronunciation of herb, but when i was a kid in school i was taught it was probounced “erb” so shes not alone
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.
What are the things sitting inside your mason jars that are holding the stems?
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?"
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?
2:02 and then remove the leaves to use in coccaine
The only one I have is mint. It even had a visitor last summer! It was a Mint Beetle. It was so beautiful with his shiny green 🤩😍
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
Basil...my favorite!
Oh no! We're running out of Thyme!
Bah dum dum tss! :)
Meminto mori.
Thank you for this info, but it would've been better if you broke down what hydroponic nutrients were and given an example of it, also how to make those nice jars planters i'm gonna try again to grow these herbs they always end up dying and i always used to put them into dirt now i will just use water and see how they come out.
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.
Thank you for making this great TH-cam video about growing herbs !!!!
Thanks
We tried and it works
Great! Growing lots of herbs and tomatoes... recycling my organic green onions. Lots of fun
This technique can work for growing most herbs and even vegetables. However, chives are not one of them. Chives will rot in water. They produce from a bulb or seed, like onion. The blades themselves will not produce root in water. Stick to woody stemmed herbs such as oregano thyme rosemary or basil. The woodsy stem on them are covered in tiny "hairs" that will grow into roots.
Thanks for sharing our gifts...
Happy HERB DAY
I grow green onion all year around in my kitchen 👍
What's an "urb"? Is it anything like a herb?
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!
How about cilantro? I could get into using fresh cilantro (Tex-Mex kitchen rat here) and growing it on the patio of my apartment would be great.
Why does almost everyone have a problem with her saying erb instead of herb??
because there's an H in it ...
muzzgit No, I mean why does everyone care? Because it's not a life-or-death situation. You don't have to criticize her voice saying it the way she wants to say it instead of how you want her to say it. So don't come at me with that shit, because it has an H in it...
It's probably because the ones complaining are English. dropping the H in words such as herb sets off an irrational anger that we cannot control, it's like nails down a chalk board.
its weird but the way Americans pronounce words like aluminium, basil and oregano set us off as well. I honestly don't know why they have the effect, maybe because it's just enough off sounding that it's 'wrong' but right enough that we can clearly understand it.
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
Herb is a person in our family. Herbs (silent "H") are what we eat and grow in the garden. It's an American thing. She sounds just fine to me!
Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme.
Is adding Miracle Grow to the water a good idea? ?
What hydroponic food so you add to herb cuttings being grown in water. I am a newbee
Basil an Italian herb? but native to India I guess LOL
Nahid Khan. Cooking shows in the US have many Italian dishes. Basil ia always shown. That's why people think it's Italian. They don't know most of our spices originated in India and came west by caravans, long ago.
Yeah exactly
Indian basil is quite different than Italian and known as Tulsi or holy basil and not used in preparing food. It is used for the purpose of religious worship
Actually basil could be from India or China, there isn't any definitive proof. Though the Indians were the first ones to use it consistently. You can check out my herb facts videos on my channel if you want to find out more.
@@steveschatz6256 why........................they killed you
Starting to do this today. Thanks for the info!
Peppermint
Oregano
Sage
Basil
Stevia
Thyme
Rosemary
Lemon balm
Chives
Cool video but the narrators voice is unbearable lol
Wow amazing..i love it so much.. i like the videos you shared im a gardening lover..from the Philippines..

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.
Will you ever need to transfer the plans to soil? Or will they continue to grow in water??
never had erbs before
Come to America. My friend Herb grows them.
lennox jhry ggt
It’s not erb. It’s urb!
Rosemary's baby
🍷😆😆😆😆
It looks like you need net pots for this?
Also, there is a specific sized net pot that fits perfectly in Mason Jars.
I didn't ever get to try hydroponic growing yet because the nutrients seem expensive but!
There are natural organic liquid fertilizers you can make from some home ingredients.
As an example, banana peels that have been left in water for 3 days or so in a container of some sort can be probably be used. The liquid should be strained with a cloth.
Urine could potentially be the best 'free' fertilizer (gross I know) but it should probably be diluted with water first. It isn't ideal for leafy plants though apparently. Egg shell powder can be added to this I think and if it sits in the sun (or just a sunny location?) I believe this will add a good calcium boost to the ... urine. Not sure if the powder gets absorbed or what.
Haven't tried any of this but still there are plenty of options that are green and economical.
I'm still researching. Don't shoot me...
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
www.growandmake.com/how-to-make-liquid-fertilizer/
Any 15-30-15 fertilizer will do. Miracle Grow for instance. :)
Cool, I'll do these this weekend. Thanks for sharing!
Every thyme she says herb it sounds like erb, maybe she didn’t had the thyme to add in the h
Lil Dogg #punloveforever
Omitting the 'h' in herb is a totally accepted pronunciation and native to many cultures..
The h in herb was never pronounced in the US until maybe 10-15 years ago. As I saw this transition I thought pronouncing the h sounded weird too!!!
Alicia Merriman... true, they are pronounced with a silent “h”...🇺🇸🇵🇭
In US we do not pronounce the 'h' in herb- I know it's really strange.
Very interesting I like planting and caring the plants I have garden it's very nice video
For best results. I used rain water.
Cilantro does very well with this method
I am growing spring onions, I didn't know they need sunlight, but they are growing at least half inch each day, already cut a chunk of 5" for my yesterday's curry. and still growing. :) I am gonna use more jars and keep them growing. Can someone tell me, how long will it keep growing from same onion root?
Thank you for sharing have a great awesome wonderful day today in our LORD GOD and SAVOR JESUS CHRIST bye
The H is NOT silent in Herb!
Dazza Retro Hahaha..
Dazza Retro That depends on where you live.
theangrykitten the Queen’s English my friend, not an American interpretation.
Dazza Retro But she is speaking in a North American dialect, so it’s appropriate. Can you explain why her pronunciation is relevant here? Did it keep you from understanding the content somehow?
Dazza Retro Anyway, enjoy growing some herbs. May the force be with you, dude.
Basil plants grows in India too,not just in Italy.
If your name is Herbert it's pronounced with the H. Talking about herbs, the h is silent. Do people reading about pneumonia on the web argue about pronunciation this much. Let's embrace our differences, y'all!
julie maddox right! Not here to teach me English 😊, but to grow Eerbs in water ☺️
yeela dude. its definatly erb. not herb
Wrong. The h in herb is pronounced. Come to England, where the English language was invented and you will not hear anyone pronounce it "erb"
