Growing herbs in water is an easy, space-saving solution for indoor gardeners or those with limited outdoor space. Not only does this method keep your kitchen filled with fresh herbs year-round, but it also minimizes the need for soil and frequent watering. Here are seven herbs that thrive in water and how you can grow them at home.
1. Basi
Basil is one of the most popular herbs for water propagation. It’s a favorite in the kitchen for its aromatic leaves, perfect for sauces, salads, and garnishes.
How to grow: Start by taking a cutting of basil (about 4-6 inches long) from a healthy plant, ensuring it has at least two pairs of leaves. Place the stem in a glass of water, making sure no leaves are submerged to prevent rot. Change the water every few days, and within 2-3 weeks, roots should start to form. Once the roots are about 2 inches long, you can either transfer the plant to soil or continue growing it in water.
2. Mint
Mint is incredibly easy to grow in water and can quickly spread if planted in soil, making it an ideal candidate for contained water growth. It’s perfect for teas, desserts, and refreshing drinks like mojitos.
