how to grow herbs at home without soil 🌿

[@maevabaumont7337]

Plants in water will, at one point, need some fertilizer. They need more than water to be healthy : nitrogen, potassium... But this does not need to be chemical : for instance, potassium can be found in banana peel ! A few tips : use the water you used to boil your eggs for exemple (the minerals contain in egg shelves will be "released" in the water), but obviously, wait for the water to reach room temperature). you can also macerate banana peels in water and use this water, or better : combine both : macerate banana peels in egg water ! During growing season, you can to this up to once a week , but once a month should be enough. Just don't use this macerate pure, it will be too much for the plant, adapt it according to the concentration but about 1/10 to 1/6 of the total water should be enough. Sorry if this is unclear, i'm french and my english shall not be perfect..!

Changing the water more often would help your plants fluorish for sure! However, I would switch your transparent glass bottles for dark brown or dark green glass (you can use a wine bottle-- really cool with thyme, because it will hang over and grow beautiful flowers). Using green bottles will help you avoid future algal blooms as well--especially if you need to add nitrogen!!

[@seforachriss3111]

just wondering (for personal reference haha), why would darker bottles be more helpful? thanks for the tip btw!! :)

[@joikun5706]

@@seforachriss3111 Oh Sorry! Switching to darker bottles (preferably green or solid (non-transparent)) will prevent or rather slow algal growth. If you don't switch your water frequently enough, or if you plan to grow something that needs nutrients (like extra nitrogen) OR if your plants are getting sun pretty much all day, your plants' roots-- and possibly the entire bottle/jar-- will be covered with algae. Algal spores are everywhere in the air and in water (depending where you live), and they are a HUGE pain to get rid of once you get them! Using non-transparent bottles prevents the algae from growing, (best) while green bottles prevent photosynthesis (cannot absorb green light), so they will never get to fluorish (although some algal strains are heartier than others and will still grow albeit VERY slowly under green/blue/brown light due to the presence of carotenoids which can absorb light in these spectrums). Great question!!

[@joikun5706]

@@seforachriss3111 If you do get algae, you can use a little chlroine to kill it off, but be careful! Too much chlorine will definitely kill your plants (soil normally acts as a buffer for plant roots). Some aquatic plants are strong against chlorine, however, it's easier to just avoid getting algae in the first place.

[@MyNewEra2012]

A little fertilizer tip: I also use a dry food for dogs. Not a cheap brand. Smallest size. It's packed with nutrition, contains minimum of chemicals, and it's little. I drop a couple to the water or insert to the soil (one for tiny containers, more for bigger containers). Twice a month and my plants are having a good time. And my OCD dog didn't even notice that some of her granules are gone.

[@Cuntmilk]

What Brand do u use?

[@MyNewEra2012]

@@Cuntmilk Real Nature 👍

[@causasui8185]

Plants don't need "food". They're autotrophs - they make their own food from sunlight, CO2, water, and minerals. The leaves are responsible for dealing with the sunlight and the CO2. This means the roots are responsible for the water and minerals. So instead of giving them dog food (which contains hydrocarbons that will feed bacteria), it seems safer to give them the minerals that they need. Additionally, plant roots need oxygen (which they don't always get when submerged in water). Hydroponic growers always have to make sure there's enough oxygen available to the roots.

[@MyNewEra2012]

@@causasui8185 Purely technically speaking, you're right. But if you want to have big-ass veggies in your backyard or on your balcony you must, MUST give them a bit of extra care. Please bear on your mind that humans domesticated plants by looking after them a bit better than the magnificent Nature herself. I have plants in pots on my humble balcony and can tell the difference between my gardening before and after I started to use self-made compost that contains among other things a bit of granules for dogs - incomparable. I repot them once I see that the nutrition from the soil is all used up. Mixing some granules with water once in a while also helps.

feel u on the complicated nutrient part! hydroponic growing can get really technical. my channel is all about hydroponics, and honestly, for what you're doing, pH and all that stuff doesn't really matter. if u want a really simple nutrient system, I recommend general hydroponics! they give u the exact instructions, and all u have to do is mix their liquid nutrient by the instructions on the bottle.

[@radnatalie]

@@flame132 from what I understand, pH level just changes the absorption rate of water/nutrients (unless it's too extreme). the small variations in tap water pH are not significant enough to impact the plant in a major way.

I've been feeding my cuttings with onion peel water and it seems to be working well. Just soak peeling from 1 onion in a small mason jar, pop the lid in and let it soak for 24hours. 1 tspn per plant jar works for me. I keep the rest on the onion peel water in the fridge. Feeding once a week.

[@rhoeasie]

I've only water propagated basil to plant it in soil later but now I want to try keeping it in water! Btw as a tip for anyone who is trying to figure out how many leaves to leave on the cutting, what she says about keeping a few healthy leaves is absolutely right but don't go overboard, too many leaves may mean the cutting will wilt because it hasn't developed roots yet and it can't get enough water in to support all the leaves. Ask me how I know lol. Although I must say, mine actually came back after a while it really looked it is not going to make it, so maybe if you have a wilting basil cutting don't give up hope yet. If the wilted leaves are touching the side of the glass it will stick to it however so be very careful when handling it, and you may want to remove maybe a big leaf that is sucking all the water.

Right, so from my experience roots HATE sunlight. Wrapping jars in tinfoil or spray-painting them to prevent light from getting inside the jars yields faster and healthier root growth and prevents algae growth even with fertilizer in the water. Also don't always top up the water to 100% You will see some roots that are above water form a "mold-like" fuzz, but that's just air roots for the plat to get additional oxygen. For rosemary I found that sealing the jar gives the healthiest looking plants. No clue why, but doing that gives the best results to me.

[@Ketoawaz]

You must be relaxed when you see roots developing inside water. It seems miracle.

i love the video! They look so cute on thoselittle jars.

[@BelledelaGroove]

I listen to this jam on a daily. The vibes are strong here..

[@filbertchandra9419]

As for peppermint, lavender and basil, the success rate for me to propagate is high, but for rosemary, it's kinda low to moderate. Like you said, we need to add nutrients equal to our regular compost so as to make them develop properly. However, we can't produce a large plant with the small container alone. Still, you have like 10% - 30% chance of producing large leaves of peppermint.

[@tessathomas554]

It kinda helps if u put a few cms of soil in the container and fill it up with water. Idk if works for everyone but I noticed that my plants grew faster in this way cause they were getting soil and water nutrition at the same time. It will be a bit hard to change the water tho

I kinda did this with basil last year 🌿 I bought one plant and snipped off every little stem. I then put them all in water and waited until they had established root systems. I didn’t keep them in water though and planted them in a long container with some space in between. As the basil grew I kept snipping off the stems above leaf nodes. (Obviously eating what I cut off) You can see two small little sets of leaves growing from each side there, so you get two new main stems. I continued with this process and *I’m telling you* it was the most luscious, healthy plant! I did have the container outside though, where it gets a lot of full sun. You could try this with mint though, which is more tolerant to a shady location and is known to grow like a weed. 🌱

[@bbyktty13]

If you don’t have access to using filtered water, you can boil tap water, let it cool down, and use that for watering. Boiling the tap water allows the chlorine to evaporate, which is what hurts the plants. You can also let tap water sit in an open container for over 24 hours to let the chlorine evaporate.

You can make banana peel "tea" and add a but of coffee grounds in. You can also use the water after boiling eggs (don't forget to cool) to add calcium.
