Growing plants in water is a simple and soil-free method, making it perfect for indoor herb gardening. If you’re looking to add fresh flavors to your cooking and bring greenery to your living space, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to start.
Getting Started
- Cutting Twigs: Select twigs from a healthy, mature plant. Choose young twigs that are around 15 cm in length. Remove the leaves near the base to encourage root growth and prevent mold in the water.
- Preparing the Container: Use a container like a pot, a glass bottle, or even a plastic one. Cover the part where the roots will grow with a strip of paper or fabric to shade the roots and prevent algae formation. The container should have a narrow neck to support the twig but not restrict root development.
- Water Maintenance: Initially, change the water once a week. After 2 to 6 weeks, when white roots have formed, frequent water changes are no longer necessary.
