Leafy Bases

  • Little gem / romaine: keep 3–4 cm base; sit in shallow water; pot up after roots appear.
  • Spring onions: place white ends in water; change water every 2–3 days; harvest greens.

Herb Cuttings

  • Basil/mint: take 10 cm cutting; strip lower leaves; root in water; pot when roots are 3–4 cm.
  • Rosemary/thyme: semi-ripe cuttings; use gritty compost; keep lightly moist.

Care & Hygiene

  • Use clean scissors/jars; rinse roots before potting.
  • Bright light but not harsh midday sun indoors.
  • Snip regularly to keep plants compact and productive.
