★ How to: Grow Herbs from Cuttings (A Complete Step by Step Guide)

[@jbal6097]

It never even occurred to me to get cuttings from herbs. So simple! Thank you! Another great video!

[@MarkerD2]

Because of your movies I'm growing two lemon trees and 16 mandarines tree from seeds are going to join them soon! :)

[@ProjectDiaries]

Thanks amazing! I'm so glad I inspired you :D I'd love to see your progress vi my facebook gardening group at facebook.com/groups/projectdiariesHQ

[@fatimaparker3917]

How are your trees doing? :)

[@MarkerD2]

Not gonna lie, they are taller then me! I've done some early spring pruning since they actually reached two meter mark. Im looking forward to replaniting them into my future house :D

[@fatimaparker3917]

That sounds amazing haha! Are you from th UK by any chance? I'm trying gardening this year and hoping to grow some lemon tree also 😊

[@MarkerD2]

@@fatimaparker3917 Unfortunately no :( Its easy, you'll get to the same point I am with my trees in no time :) One more thing, those lemon trees are really huge... Mandarines I wanted to plant wouldnt have enough space so I left this idea in the void for now.

[@wendyrowland7787]

I have been inspired to take cuttings from my leggy old basil plant. I have learnt something!

[@yvonnedrysdale9190]

Love this video. Love your accent. Nice British chap showing them how it is done! Excellent

[@keriella7021]

I came across your channel recently and have binged like mad! Thank you for all the helpful tips and tricks, I'm super Keen to get planting when Spring arrives here in New Zealand 😊

[@lunaraydesign4645]

Thank you so much for your herb cutting videos and all the tips. Your a natural at this KZbin malarkey 👍

Keep up the vids! Helping me nicely here in South Africa.

[@ProjectDiaries]

Wow! This channel is really branching out. Thank you :)

[@sapphiresapphic]

@@ProjectDiaries lmao was that a pun? Great video though, having trouble propagating basil so I'll give this a try :)

[@alisawolfel7389]

Project Diaries, I loved mint, and everyone here especially loves it in my home made mint ice cream-I hope to someday gain back my sense of smell and taste and rid of asthma-courtesy of covid over a year ago-I am really missing out on basil equals pesto, mint tea, fresh cut green grass-eating only to avoid hunger... I cook using recipes and asking family members for feedback, really different and hard for me-but I am alive and here to enjoy family and learn from great people like you who share their wonderful knowledge. I am about to start a garden for the first time and feel so clueless but I am going to do it no matter what, as I know that is what my deceased mother in law was going to do in her home, which is where we all are, due to a job change... never give up! Thank you!!!

[@shortylucy]

Ok, after watching this, I took some of the cilantro cuttings I had in the fridge. Can't wait to see it grow!

[@ProjectDiaries]

Awesome!! Let me know how you get on by sharing some photos via my gardening group facebook.com/groups/projectdiariesHQ

[@ProjectDiaries]

You're welcome. Good luck trying it yourself :)

[@MrStobbsy01]

Hello from Cairns... Tropical North Queensland australia! awesome videos mate! love the way you explain things and slowly go through everything. ive now got 4 new basil plants and 2 rosemary cuttings almost ready and a whole lot of chilly seedlings too

[@ProjectDiaries]

That's great. Would you like to post some photos on my gardening group? facebook.com/groups/projectdiariesHQ/

[@Amanda-ws6di]

Another awesome video! You explain things very well!

[@gerryseely]

Another great video. Thank you again

[@woodworkabbott4678]

great video can't believe how easy it is . it's just like taking a cutting from a plant but instead or putting them straight in soil it's water.

[@BopToTRythmOfTRadio]

I love your videos! I started watching videos on how to grow an advocadotree from seed. And know I am getting really into it. Also I see your other projects in the background and can't help wonder what those are. Thank, you really got me into gardening!x

[@wendyrowland7787]

I have just planted my basil cuttings, now I must remember not to let them dry out on their sunny windowsill with a warm radiator underneath. I always repot any Basil plants I buy in the supermarket to make them last longer, so now I have extended use of my supermarket plant. I also gave the compost a pinch of blood and bonemeal, my favourite magic fertiliser for veg.

[@christiensgarden3325]

Absolutely fantastic video so excited if you get this.....love learning from you

[@hsdev]

Thanks mate. I am looking for a way to grow Cilantro and you gave me a good start.

[@RaulEndymionOfHyperion]

I've gotten multiple tomato plants from the cuttings of one plant, but I didn't know it was easy to do with herbs as well. Hopefully I'll be able to enjoy fresh herbs all winter now.

Hi Lee, I don’t have a sunny window so I was going to put the cuttings in a mug with water outside. They will get some direct sun but mostly shaded. I was concerned that it be to hot for the cuttings!? They have wilted a lot already .......

[@Elkycreates]

Do you have to replace the water with fresh water each day?

[@sibelb4152]

Another subscriber here! You are delightful to listen to and have such an easygoing pleasant demeanor. Thank you for this detailed video. I have a question: if you have a good non-drafty window with 6+ hrs sun to place them in during the winter, is it good for the plant to be kept in an active growing state all year long? Or is it best to let them go kind of dormant for a while? Thank you.

[@ProjectDiaries]

Good to hear! You are very welcome and thanks for subbing. Hmm. I've not thought about that. I guess if you're constantly taking new cuttings and growing new plants, then you could grow all year round :)

[@stuarts7188]

Thank you

[@Bessie66]

I’ve learned something … I though hormone rooting powder (once dipped on the cutting) went straight in the soil - not the water? Will they still root in water without hormone rooting powder? Decided going to have indoor herb garden - it will double up as room fragrance too 👍

[@Xanderful209]

Do you add anything to the water to provide food for the the plant? Or will just water do ?

[@janiceb4679]

Your videos are great! I'm going to try doing this now with some of my herbs that are going to seed...it will save time from waiting on seeds. What can you recommend to make my mint leaves bigger. They look great at the store, but a year later, my plants in the ground and in pots are producing much smaller leaves.

[@ProjectDiaries]

Not had that problem but at a guess it could be a lack of Nitrogen in the soil?

[@mintchocchip1066]

Janice B those aren't natural so they will be bigger than yours

[@Cpope96]

Hi there man! Complete newbie at gardening, hoping to grow myself some herbs for cooking. I've got a rosemary plant that I was able to just re-pot but I've got thyme and chives that I'm trying to grow from seed. Could I grab a bit of advice on best practice for this please?

[@Torbis101]

Have you done cuttings for parsley?

Could you do a video on mint. I’m in Florida I don’t know if I can do it here

[@MiguelCorreiaFX]

Hi, I'm from Madeira Island, Portugal. I live in an apartment building and I'm starting my own balcony garden. Can you give me some tips on which herbs and edibles I can plant in a small place? I'm thinking on doing a vertical garden. Thanks, love your videos!

[@ProjectDiaries]

Best advice would be to grow what you like to eat. Tomatoes, Peppers, Various herbs etc are always good for small gardens. Glad you like my Channel :)

[@MiguelCorreiaFX]

Thanks for the tips! :)

[@DenBank1]

Will this work too with coriander bought from the supermarket? Thanks.

[@natefidalgo7625]

I know dehydrated herbs you buy in small containers at a store interms of cooking is 3 times as strong. So the rule of thumb in cooking is 3 times as much real fresh herbs to dehydrated herb. But if you can regenerate and dehydrate at home this might be cheaper then store bought seasonings/herbs/spice blends for somethings. Do all herbs and spices usually work this easy if you already have a starter plant to regenerate them ?

[@einsteinswife]

Hi Lee! I am always confused; 6 hrs of sunlight means the sun actually shining on the plant? Or the natural light without obscuring it with object, other plants, etc. I have s/w facing windows, much light, not much direct sun shining in when the chill sets in. My kitchen faces n/e, and the herbs I try to keep just don't seem to like their place on the window cill. From Amsterdam with love and blessings. 🌷❤️🙏🌟

[@ProjectDiaries]

Hi Stella, If you watch my Lemon Tree Video there are a few techniques you can use for low lighting. They don't need direct sunlight, just long periods of light. Heat lamps, UV strips etc can be used also if you have them. I loved your email and will reply as soon as I can. Many Thanks :D

[@motormusic1]

Can you do this with coriander?

[@staceyng127]

Can i do this this with cilantro? I'm a beginner and still learning my herbs. Thank You

[@ProjectDiaries]

Indeed you can :)

That thumbnail though :o

[@schnook11]

My cuttings are developing roots, but they keep turning sort of yellow-brown even though I'm changing the water. Is this normal? Is my window too sunny?

[@isaacchay5280]

Hi sir, can those herbs that has been packed and placed on the vegetable isle be used to plant? Thanks a ton!

[@ProjectDiaries]

As long as they're not dried and look healthy, you can :)

Hi Lee I have had so much trouble with Coriander, I grow it from seed and it comes up but does not thrive the plant is spindley and weak and flowers far to quickly I grow it in the conservatory any advice

Hi, I would like to know if i need to change the water in the cups regularly or leave them as it is while they root

[@ProjectDiaries]

Only change it if it starts to turn green

thanku :)

[@nedamahfooz1713]

Thanks alot Does it work for all kind of vegtables? Can i do without rooting powder?

[@ProjectDiaries]

You're welcome No Yes :)

[@jaleelmkk]

thanks.

[@Eguy09]

Can u put them directly in the soil

[@botanicaltreasures2408]

Once the frost date is past for us, I plan to start cuttings outside since we have limited window space and a furry, personable, herb 🌿 monster 🐱.

[@thekatinvestor]

does this work with stevia herb too?

[@ProjectDiaries]

Yes! It will work with any young green stems

[@kuragepeace7194]

May I know how often you replace the water when you put the cuttings in the water? I live in Malaysia and although we never have cold day, it is sometimes too hot here lol. I've tried to plant basil so many times already (by cuttings and store-bought plants), but it all died. The stems often turned to black when dying. Had the same problem with rosemary too.

[@ProjectDiaries]

It could be that your cuttings are done with an infected cutting tool? Shouldn't need to change the water. Are you putting too many cuttings in one pot?

[@kuragepeace7194]

Thanks for replying. I usually put only 3-4 cuttings together. I didn't check my tools though... Should disinfect them before doing gardening works for now on lol.

[@ProjectDiaries]

That's fine. Just make sure they're getting lots of sunlight and if the water turns green, change it :)

[@raphlvlogs271]

can you use honey to help them root?

[@jeanskilling708]

I tryed this with sage , all 5 of my cuttings died. Is there a difference with sage?

[@kentan8762]

Is it possible to do it without root powder?

[@janicetanumihardja808]

Help... instead of growing roots the submerged part becomes black and weak. The leaves still grow tho. I changed the water everyday and didn't use hormone. I want to repeat with hormone, but anything else I should be cautious about?

[@ProjectDiaries]

use the hormone powder and don't change the water daily
