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!!!
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 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.
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 😊
Love fresh herbs ,must remember to take more cuttings .Always freeze herbs for winter use .never thought of taking cuttings from basil ,I will try that .thanks.😇
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.
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
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! I'm new to gardening and growing things and came across your informative videos. You are such an inspiration and a very good thorough teacher. Keep up the amazing work and keep on inspiring. Just wanted to say thank you!
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
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 .......
Hi thanks so much for such a wonderful video. I don't have much of a green thumb so this is a blessing. I really love fresh coriander and it's hard to get it where I live. Take care. Anna
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.
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 :)
I was just about to throw my leggy basil away, I never thought about taking cuttings. It looks like you are making good use of Grandad's lean to you made earlier or have you made more than one?
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. 🌷❤️🙏🌟
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
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 👍
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 ?
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
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.
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?
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?
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!
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?
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.
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?
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.
It never even occurred to me to get cuttings from herbs. So simple! Thank you! Another great video!

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

thanks for making these videos and replying to my comment i subed
i watch most of your videos more than one time
Do you add anything to the water to provide food for the the plant? Or will just water do ?
These are helpful tips now a days with the prices of foods sky rocketing.

Hubby material !!! What a dream😘
Thanks again love from Canada and BLESS YOU
Do you have to replace the water with fresh water each day?
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
You mentioned you'd use the basil in your dinner....any thoughts of taking us along in the kitchen with you?!
I'm planning on a whole new Cooking channel soon... :)
You have a beautiful place. Bless you
Great video! 😝
I'm growing tomatoes as well! 😊
Amazing! I hope you saw my Tomato seed Video? :)

I don't have my own garden, so ……like the way you garden
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 👍
Can u put them directly in the soil
Can i do this this with cilantro? I'm a beginner and still learning my herbs. Thank You
Indeed you can :)

Not had that problem but at a guess it could be a lack of Nitrogen in the soil?
Janice B those aren't natural so they will be bigger than yours

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 :)
Thanks for the tips! :)
Hi sir, can those herbs that has been packed and placed on the vegetable isle be used to plant? Thanks a ton!
As long as they're not dried and look healthy, you can :)
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
Only change it if it starts to turn green
always great unfo! Thank you :)
I like the way you teach...
Thank you!
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?
use the hormone powder and don't change the water daily
@@ProjectDiaries thank you so much! I am trying it again today...
Thanks alot
Does it work for all kind of vegtables?
Can i do without rooting powder?
You're welcome
No
Yes :)
Such a cute smile!
Can you do this with coriander?
Really love these videos 😍
can you use honey to help them root?
You are the best!
Great channel! 🙌 🙌 🙏
Can u do this with rosemary
Great video! :)
Thanks!
So helpful! Thank you
Is it possible to do it without root powder?
By sunshine, do you mean direct sunlight?
Yes!
Project Diaries is it going to be a problem if my plants get 2hrs of direct sunlight? We have a lot of fruit trees on our yard
GT GT video and info keep them coming thanks🐞🐝😁👍
does anyone know why my leaves are turning white? it doesnt look like a powder just really turning white

That's fine. Just make sure they're getting lots of sunlight and if the water turns green, change it :)
Which herbs wont cuttings work for?
Amazing
Thank you! :)
I tryed this with sage , all 5 of my cuttings died. Is there a difference with sage?
My mint leaves are so small. Any idea how to grow bigger leaves?
How important is the hormone?
does this work with stevia herb too?
Yes! It will work with any young green stems
Thank you
That thumbnail though :o
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 🐱.
thanks.
make a video about how to grow a mint plant
thanku :)
My nephew said you're hot!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the tips! 🍍
We both new subscribers 👍
Can't they keep growing just in water ???
No, They're need nutrients after a while to keep them strong.
wow herbs could be grown together?
Of course :)
Delicious
Tried with rosemary but it never works.🤔
Was it in a warm place and did you leave it long enough?
I tried it with some mint cuttings and they all rotted after two weeks, what did I do wrong? 😑
only you would know why. Did you not follow the video correctly?
:)
:)
Xxxxxxxxx
Youre cute
