Aromatic herbs: 10 plants to grow in water.
- Basil
Place the jar in a bright location after adding clean water. If you don’t want your plant to flower, you should cut the cuttings with buds, because after this step, the plant will complete its cycle and die. So pay attention.
- Tarragon
French tarragon is the most popular in cooking, but there are several types. Any plant you have should be planted in spring, and its slow growth requires clean, light water.
- mint
Mint is a plant with a high menthol content, a cooling substance that doesn’t cause temperature fluctuations. All you need to do is submerge the branches in water to see the roots emerge.
- Spearmint
This plant also has practically the same characteristics as the common mint described above.
- Rosemary
This plant takes a long time to take root, but it’s much more resistant to decay. It’s a plant that doesn’t require much care and seems to take root faster if planted in spring.
- Origanum
Rosemary is a staple in most Mediterranean dishes. To grow it in water, simply place it in a jar of water and then, observing its proper growth, pinch off the leaves.
- Stevia
Stevia is perfect for adding to infusions, tea, and desserts. Simply place it in a bright, warm place.
- Sage
This plant is prone to mold growth, so it should be kept in a cool, well-ventilated area. Again, this is a very slow-growing plant.
- thyme
In this case, you should take the green cuttings and place them in water. The best time to plant cuttings is spring, and you should place them in water as soon as you cut them. This is because their extreme thinness will cause them to dry out quickly.
- Verbena
Growing verbena is super simple, but it suffers indoors. Simply cut them in spring and soak them in water. Then, place everything in a well-lit location and wait 4 weeks for roots to appear. Keep in mind: they need regular watering.
