Herbs can be medicines and relax you, also you can add them in recipes and it is nice to have them all
year round in the home.
And you can actually! We reveal to you the best herbs to have in the kitchen and add flavors more. And
you do not have to water them all the time, or change the soil.
So, you need to sow cilantro, dill and mustard seeds in soil, then add them in water since a soil herb
cannot be put in water as roots differentiate from water roots.
How to grow herbs in water
Place some herb cuttings in glass bottles with water, spring water is best since it has minerals. Never use
chlorinated water since it has bleach chemicals that damage the plant. Also leave some tap water
overnight or get rainwater.
Get a glass bottle, mason jar and/or plastic bottle. You might also use colored bottles or wrap paper
around them since the roots dislike light.
The darkness aids in avoiding algal growths. The narrow mouth bottles support the cuttings upright.
But, you have to avoid narrow and tight fitted ones since their mouth cannot support free transition of
air in the roots.
Pick the soft cutting roots and cut 6 inch sections of the herbs. Place them in containers and remove the
lower leaves since they might rot and get spoiled in the water.
Change the water 1 time per week for rosemary cuttings. When the root starts growing after 2-6 weeks,
do not change water.
To stimulate the rooting, put willow branches in warm water for the night and use them for soothing
hormones. Also use rooting hormone powder if you wish.
