So...I decided I wanted to do some cuttings because I read how easy it was to do and that I should see roots in a week. Well, that would be if you followed the instructions or bothered to watch a youtube video on how to do it properly. I am so guilty of that - skip the tutorial and jump in, mess it up (sometimes), but that is how you learn on your own I guess..lol. Anyway, found this little vasey kinda thing at Value Village for .99 (if memory serves me correctly) & it is great for mayflowers..something teeny tiny. It also happens to be great for small cuttings. I guess I should've cut the basil on the main sturdy plant, no just cut off at the bottom of a leaf. Watched a video (on youtube..who knew?) & you just make an angled cut on the stem...trim off any leaves that may stick in the water. You just have the stem stuck in. I still have my leaves stuck in this water. Who knows? maybe something will happen. I also took 2 more cuttings (the proper way). I'll keep you posted. The bottom photo is of 2 cuttings of my mint plant. I cut them the "proper" way. Like my vase for that one? I know a lot of people wouldn't bother rooting mint and making more (the stuff goes crazy) but I have some in a pot to keep in contained & I will put more in my front little garden. It is slowly becoming full of "wild" things that I gather here and there: wild strawberries, daisies, johnny jump ups, blackeyed susies..forget me nots & soon....mint...lots of mint...lol
