Fresh Herbs You Can Grow in Water

1. Take cuttings: Use 4–6″ soft stems with a node. Remove lower leaves below waterline.

2. Place in water: Use clear jars for beautiful root watching. Fill with filtered or chlorine-free water.

3. Light conditions: Put on a sunny windowsill—6+ hours of indirect sunlight is ideal.

4. Water maintenance: Change water every few days to keep it fresh and prevent algae.

5. Harvest smartly: Snip leaves as needed; picking keeps plants growing.

6. Optional transfer: When roots reach about 2″ long, transplant to soil or keep growing in water.
