You don't need to be that particular with mint. Cut it off under a node, leave a few leaves on the top and put in water, transplant when roots appear. Mint is very very easy to grow.
Thanks! This was very helpful! I had some peppermint pop up in my yard somewhere I don’t want it, but I don’t want to just kill it. I’m going to make a bunch of baby plants from it and put it in a better location ❤️ Subscribing because I really enjoyed your clear and concise explanation and demonstration.
It didn't work for me, but it apparently has for others. You can try! Even the method I used isn't 100% effective, but I think it's more effective than the method you are describing.
Do you recommend putting the rooted stems in with the rest of the original mints in the raised bed or put it in a separate container to grow separately? I essentially want them all growing in the same container but would it be more wise to keep the rooted stems apart until they've grown more?
nitelite78 I thought it would be better to have the stems have their own fresh water and not share any disease. I'm just sharing my experience what worked for me. I didn't actually try putting 10 stems in a cup. Maybe it might work!
After Plastic Society Ah ok thanks. The disease issue is plausible. I thought of another reason it's a good idea - to stop roots entangling (which I have noticed tend to be very soft at the start) in case you want to plant spaced apart. It was interesting that some mint took much longer. I have some in water right now but only one out of five started growing roots. I was going to throw the rest but maybe I will leave a few more days just in case.
You mean "node"? Here is a good visual explanation: smartyplants.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Spearmint_nodes_web.jpg You can also google "node plants" on google image and see many other pictures of it.

Straigth to the point, I love it. Thank you
I just root the cuttings directly in damp potting soil. It works out fine and saves some steps. Glad you've found what works for you.

Thank you for this!!!! Have a wonderful day to you and to everyone!
do you use a separate glass for every cutting because you fear disease spreading or do you just have a lot of space and glasses?
Great video. Thanks for keeping it short and sweet!
Potting mix already has some fertilizers in it. It will help if you put some rooting hormone in the water.
Great video, straight to the point thank you.
Very nice thank you. Doing this today 😃
Really lovely video, the music did drown out your explanations though.
Great tips and I'm super excited to start doing this :D
i love your videos they are great and good job on your likes
Can we plant the cutting directly to soil without putting it in water first?

Awesome videos

Mint is very hardy, once it starts growing it's hard to stop it. This is purely a personal preference matter.
I just add some strawberry 🍓 leafs that people don’t eat and it makes the roots grow much faster
awesome awesome awesome video. thank you!!
The original mint where You cut it from grows back right?
Yes, it encourages growth side ways
Are you growing them indoors?
Awedome video! Thanks!
*awesome
Try out root cuttings. They are produced and spread rapidly depending on the mint cultivar you have.
What was the point of using so many cups
Giauy Ngo maybe to give to other people?
@@junbecks such a nice thought. Hope you're right!
Why do you put so few stems in each cup? Why not just use 1 or two cups and put 10 in each cup rather than 2?

Can we propagate the mint from grocery?
It has been done before with success. I haven't tried though!
@@AfterPlasticSociety I'll try and see
yes
Very nice. About the same success rate as me. 6 of 7.
When I put my cuttings in water, they die
Well, try again
Me too!! They dry up within 2 to 3 days
Thanks.

I'm doing this right now
why not put them all in the same water
Good job
But...whats a nobe?
You mean "node"? Here is a good visual explanation: smartyplants.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Spearmint_nodes_web.jpg
You can also google "node plants" on google image and see many other pictures of it.
Its called a node not nobe
That’s gonna make a lotta mojitos
Cover cuttings with transparent polybags.
Amazing thank you
Not sure why but mine didn’t root
What did you do differently from me?
how beautiful
