Surfing just for a way to grow Sage indoor. Found this video & I really appreciate the information. I too have hydroponic gardens but have had trouble with growing my sage from groc store. Thank you. I'll try again. 👍
Good job Jim! I always look forward to seeing what’s next on your quest to grow things. I am going to try growing blackberry seeds from the ones I bought in the store. They’re from California, so I’m not sure how they’ll do.
@@gabybiz6089 Need a lot of space yes! None of the seeds did anything. Someone told me that they often irradiate food in the states to kill bacteria, maybe it also ruins seeds as well?
@@JimmyBHarvests I’ve been trying to grow sage from seeds in soil indoors with no success for a long time now. I am going to give this a try because you made this look too easy. Thanks for the great work you do and you got yourself another subscriber!
Have you ever worked with vervain? I ordered blue vervain and have some seeds coming. I was wondering if you know any tips for it as I’m just starting to get into growing plants
Great question! I typically do still add nutrition when watering my soil plants. I dont specifically recall what happened with these plants but i would bet the soil plant had its fair share of nutrients.
Hey Maggie! You probably need to start over with new cuttings at this point. I would question if your water used maybe had a weird ph level the plant didn’t like. Maybe try bottled water instead of tap if you used tap. It can also be helpful to change the water every 3-4 days throughout the process. I’ve also seen improved rooting speeds/success as a result of the following stem cutting technique, with sage and other plants too. Maybe give the split cut a try. ua-cam.com/video/CivPYxUX7MA/v-deo.html Good luck! 🤞
I saw your video about propagating tomato cuttings with cinnamon powder, so I thought I'd put cinnamon powder on a cut part of a Sage cutting before I place it in the water, will the cinnamon help the sage more to grow roots or will it kill it? Also do you change the water?
This was filmed prior to the learnings of the split vs 45 results. Sorry for that confusion! Running a comparison now of split vs 45 with more types of plants and will update on the channel as I learn more!
Light can be helpful for root growth. I’ve seen this while propagating cuttings, they perform well in transparent reservoirs. When growing a plant that is already rooted, we want to block light from the reservoir because our reservoir is full of nutrients. Light + nutrients will lead to algae growth. Algae doesn’t really harm the plants, but is a waste of nutrients that could be eaten by the plant instead. Blocking the light as best all possible will help keep our reservoir algae free!
Hi..is there a certain time of the year in which is best to propagate sage..ive tried so many times with no success..they just turned brown and died..could I try them now in winter?Thank you
Any time of year should be fine as long as your able to keep them in a stable temperature that they like. I’ve also had improved rooting success by cutting up into the stem and splitting open about 1.5cm of the bottom stem. The plants I’ve tried to propagate like this were able to grow roots quicker. There’s a video on my channel about this. Good luck!
That’s my understanding but I haven’t tried it yet myself. Some things I’ve read say thyme can take a long time to root (up to 6 weeks) but it should work. I’ll be trying more herbs in January, thyme included, and will eventually get a video up about it! Best of luck with your attempt!
@@JimmyBHarvests I have a bunch of decorative pots that plants from stores pots with holes come in. I want to use them but I dont know what for I thought I'd ask about your pot to see maybe if sage is happy in that type.
My understanding is that holes in pots are to help us as users to prevent us from overwatering. A plant could thrive in either scenario if you know what you’re doing and water it appropriately.
Next time for cannabis when u harvest u should hang the whole plant upside down this will slow the drying process which u will get better tasting product
With soil I try to insert my finger about an inch deep and see if it feels dry. If so I water it. Truthfully I find watering soil plants the proper amounts pretty difficult myself, and it’s one of the reasons I prefer to grow with hydroponics.
Very instructive video, and I'm glad you had the 9 week follow up at the end, as I love seeing how the plants turn out.
Glad to hear it, thanks for the kind words!
Appreciate that too as updates r useful.
Wow the hydroponic plant outgrew the one in potting soil so fast awesome
You are an excellent hands on plants instructor. Thank you
Thanks Jimmy....I'm not a big hydroponic guy but I do appreciate the straight forward easy to follow presentation
👏👏👏👏👏🐧

@@gabybiz6089 Hopefully! Good luck. Did your tomatoes flower at all? The flowers need to be pollinated before any tomatoes will grow.
@@gabybiz6089 Give it another go! You’ll only get better each time you try!
Greetings from Arizona zone 9b. Thanks for the tips, tricks and info!
🙋🏻♂️🤙
This makes me SO HAPPY!
Great idea!! I won’t have to keep buying the packages anymore, I’ll have available all the time. Can I do the same with basil??
You sure can!
excellent video my friend and as shown from your videos the 45 angle cut we do just to increase the surface for roots but sometimes that doesnt matter
Thanks! You’re absolutely right! I recorded this before my other video where I learned that about the stems!
That makes more sense lol
@@JimmyBHarvests anyway your videos are educative and i am your fan from Athens greece,you are excellent at least for me
Thanks for the kind words! Appreciate the support!
Wow! This is amazing! Thanks for posting!

Great information
Brilliant video!!!

Jimmy, can I get you to review some of our Net Pots? Its tough to fin knowledgable people on the tubes...
Awesome thank you!!
Have you ever worked with vervain? I ordered blue vervain and have some seeds coming. I was wondering if you know any tips for it as I’m just starting to get into growing plants
Ifyou would have fertilized the plant in dirt, would it have grown more (like the hydroponic one)?
Great question! I typically do still add nutrition when watering my soil plants. I dont specifically recall what happened with these plants but i would bet the soil plant had its fair share of nutrients.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you ❤
Thanks for the info. ps: you're a cutie pie. hehe. Greetings from South Texas!
👋 greetings!
Very helpful, thank you for posting.
One question (if you know), will this process also work for white sage?
I would assume so, but havent tried. Ive had good results doing this with a variety of different herbs though
If you dip the ends in honey, they will sprout more roots!
💯
Jimmy, I soaked the sage for almost 2 weeks but still can’t see any roots. Please advise. Thanks

@@JimmyBHarvests Thank you so much! Take care！
Btw which led grow light best use for plants? Any idea? Or perhaps to be specific for herbs
Links to the lights i use are in the video description!
I saw your video about propagating tomato cuttings with cinnamon powder, so I thought I'd put cinnamon powder on a cut part of a Sage cutting before I place it in the water, will the cinnamon help the sage more to grow roots or will it kill it? Also do you change the water?
Cinnamon should help.
You can change the water every 2-3 days, or just as necessary if you see it getting dirty over time. Water changes wont hurt it
Silly question incoming. I only had the idea to try this after I used up all the leaves. Will this work with just the stems?
That’s a great question. I’m really not sure, I’ve never tried it. Would love to hear your experience if you do attempt it. Good luck!
just wondering if you showed that the split cutting was better than the 45? Why use the 45? Thanks!

@@JimmyBHarvests Sweet! Can't wait!
do you pick the sage leaves you're going to eat from the bottom of the plant or what?
Harvesting from the bottom will encourage the plant to keep growing upward and outward!
Why do you block light from the reservoir? Shouldn't light be a good thing for root growth?
Light can be helpful for root growth. I’ve seen this while propagating cuttings, they perform well in transparent reservoirs. When growing a plant that is already rooted, we want to block light from the reservoir because our reservoir is full of nutrients. Light + nutrients will lead to algae growth. Algae doesn’t really harm the plants, but is a waste of nutrients that could be eaten by the plant instead. Blocking the light as best all possible will help keep our reservoir algae free!
@@JimmyBHarvests got it, thank you! And thank you for your videos!
Is it best to cut the sage from the top when using for cooking? Or does it not matter?
Doesn’t matter too much! I would cut from the bottom mostly, and work my way up as the plant grows.

@JimmyB Harvests , would I use the same process for thyme stems from the grocery store?

@@JimmyBHarvests , I'm going to try it with my left over sage and thyme. I just subscribed. Thank you!🎅🌿
does your soil one have any drainage holes? looks like a metal bucket its in
You’re right, no holes. Absolutely could have been part of the reason that plant lagged the hydroponic one! I’m a soil noob 🤦🏻♂️
@@JimmyBHarvests I have a bunch of decorative pots that plants from stores pots with holes come in. I want to use them but I dont know what for I thought I'd ask about your pot to see maybe if sage is happy in that type.

How often do you water your sage on soil? Mine is not doing too well 🥲
