Propagation is creating new plants from a variety of sources: seeds, cuttings, bulbs, and other plant parts. There are three main ways to propagate herbs: through seeds, cuttings, and division. Most plants can be started by all three methods. For herbs, the quickest way to get more plants is from stem cuttings.
The best time to take a cutting from your plant is during its active growth season. For best results that is typically between spring and fall. With the right conditions indoors they can be taken year round. Take cuttings of herbs that are not actively flowering. If there are any flowers on the stem, remove them.
Softwood Cuttings
There are three kinds of stem cutting you might take - softwood, semi-hardwood, and hardwood. It will depend on the maturity of the plant which you use. The best time to make softwood cuttings is from the spring to late summer as plants are still growing.
Softwood is typically very green and pliable and collected near the growing tip. For herbs the softwood section will root the quickest, sometimes only requiring water to root.
This way you can propagate many herbs directly on your kitchen counter. You’ll just need a healthy stem and a fresh cut. Remove the leaves at the bottom to get a longer stem and leave the plant in a jar with clean water on the counter.
In 3 to 4 weeks, the plant will have grown fresh roots. It is time to either transplant it in a pot/ garden, or leave it there until your next meal requiring it.
Semi-hardwood Cuttings
The semi-hardwood section is still somewhat pliable but is turning brown. You may get this section to root in water but success most likely comes with rooting in soil or sand. This is best done after the active growing season, usually in the summer or early fall.
Hardwood Cuttings
The hardwood part of the stalk will be last years growth and will resemble a stick. You’ll know it because the stick will not bend, but only break. Rooting this part of a stalk will require rooting hormone and soil or sand.
The water propagation technique involves snipping a stem from a mature herb plant, putting the cutting in water, and waiting until it grows new roots. You can keep growing the herb in water indoors, or transplant it to soil in the garden. Rooting in water works especially well for soft-stemmed herbs such as basil, mint, lemon balm, oregano, and stevia. For woody herbs like rosemary, sage, oregano, and thyme, take cuttings from new, green growth; older brown stems do not sprout roots easily. Note that some annual herbs like parsley, cilantro, and dill should be grown from seed and do not work with this method.
There is a time lapse of root growth at 9:01. The cuttings were in water for about a week before the time lapse started. Day 1 was the day the time lapse started. I should have started counting at about day 7 and counted up from there. I will do better next time!
Nice video thanks for sharing success from indonesia
Thanks for visiting👍🌳
Thank you for doing this experiment, I appreciate it!
Thanks for watching! 🌳🌳👍
Broski!!! I use the dry hormone exclusively, but this was very informative. Thank you. I cant believe how quickly they kicked off roots to be honest. Cheers my friend 😎🍺🍺
I just re-watched that part and realized I started counting from the day roots started to show which was the start of the time lapse. Thanks for catching that! They were in water for 7 days before roots started to show. Should I leave this up and make a comment about the correction or just take this down and re-upload the video without the count? What do you think?
@@HerbandRoots its good as is broski. No stress.
It's so inspiring!
Thank you so much!
Oh man, im pretty sad you stopped uploading 😢
Great experiment and very interesting results 👍 I love that you used the discs to flat the cuttings. I’ve done that before and it’s 1000 times better than just sticking them in the water👍👍
Thank you! Cheers! Way better for sure. Self adjusting to the water level.
Really cool video 👍 This was a great experiment with a very interesting turn out. What a difference that rooting hormone made.
Thanks J! It made a huge difference! I was surprised the powered hormone did so well! I was not expecting that.
oh man, this propagating is about identical to doing Jasmines. i pop em right into a small pot after some powdered hormone....not entirely sure im happy with it. i think i'd like to try liquid
Hope everything is well. Can you update your azaleas cause mine were a disaster
Thank you! My azalea is outside and dormant for the Winter but it is doing well and I will try to include it in an update soon. I plan to do some work on it in the Spring.
