Propagating Basil from Cuttings

Propagating Basil from CuttingsIf you have an existing basil herb plant growing (or know someone who does) you could propagate and grow basil very quickly versus planting seeds.

You'll only need a few cuttings. Place the basil cuttings into a cup with water and monitor. If needed, replace water or add more water.

7/26 - I placed sweet basil cuttings in a cup
7/29 - roots appeared

Within a week, the roots are 1.5"-2" long and ready to transplant in soil. Now watch your basil grow.

Basil is my favorite too! I'm running low on sweet basil, so I did this & it works. You should definitely try it!

In our experience with basil propagation it took one week to have the tiniest hint of root growth. Within 2 weeks we had long roots and our Basil was ready to be transplanted.

Yes, the photo above it only took a few days for those roots to appear. :) Now it's really long and been ready for soil but I'm a little busy so I've procrastinated.

Awesome blog and video!
