Can we propagate sage from side stems of a cutting? I did try rooting sage in water but failed completely after more than 2 weeks.. cutting rot. However sweet basil rooted in soil.. is sage as easy as sweet basil while it comes to rooting such cuttings??
I have small size cuttings from a friend I received 3 weeks ago. I have them in a cup of water. There are no roots yet and they are still green. Will they take root if I use a root hormone and potting soil?
Wonderful information. I would just add that rooting hormone is quite harmful to humans and pollinators. One should wait 1 yr to eat from a plant that’s been grown with rooting hormone. That time frame alone speaks to its toxicity. :(
Thanks, I did this and the sun ate them up. My cousin is gonna get more for me; wish I had seen this a week earlier. Good job
Sun really destroys your cuttings in no time. Best to keep 'm out of the sun, preferably on the North side where there's no direct sun.
Great. I think those tips will get me started.
Thank you for this video! So helpful!!
Great job! I'm excited to try this.
Wonderful bit of information.
Thanks Charles :-)

Thank you, i am about to propagate mine tomorrow, no rooting hormone unfortunately i will just have to get it done with honey solution.

What variety of sage is used in this demonstration?

For sage, better to grow in potting mix rather than just water. The rooting hormone helps to encourage root growth.

Isn’t rooting hormone derived from willow trees? How the heck is that harmful?
