How to Grow Herbs in Water:

Take cuttings from healthy herb plants, about 6 inches long, and remove the lower leaves, leaving only a few on top.

Place the cuttings in a glass or jar filled with water. Make sure the stems are submerged but keep the leaves above the waterline.

Put the container in a bright spot with indirect sunlight. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight as it may cause algae growth in the water.

Change the water every few days to prevent it from becoming stagnant.

After a few weeks, you should start to see roots developing. Once the roots are well-established, you can either continue growing the herbs in water or transplant them into soil if desired.

Growing herbs in water can be a fun and rewarding way to have fresh herbs available for cooking and other uses throughout the year.
