how to grow herbs at home without soil 🌿

propagating my own herb garden in my kitchen.
#indoorgarden #propagation #herbs

I shared this little plant experiment on my Instagram and decided to film the process for YouTube as well, so I hope you enjoy! I've dappled a bit in plant propagation and growing hydroponic plants, but this was the first time I tried it with herbs. This was just an experiment and I'm still really new to it all, so if you have any tips, please let me know! xx Audrie

Plants in water will, at one point, need some fertilizer. They need more than water to be healthy : nitrogen, potassium... But this does not need to be chemical : for instance, potassium can be found in banana peel ! A few tips : use the water you used to boil your eggs for exemple (the minerals contain in egg shelves will be "released" in the water), but obviously, wait for the water to reach room temperature). you can also macerate banana peels in water and use this water, or better : combine both : macerate banana peels in egg water ! During growing season, you can to this up to once a week, but once a month should be enough. Just don't use this macerate pure, it will be too much for the plant, adapt it according to the concentration but about 1/10 to 1/6 of the total water should be enough.
Sorry if this is unclear, i'm french and my english shall not be perfect..!

From a botany major, you can change the water more often.

Changing the water more often would help your plants fluorish for sure! However, I would switch your transparent glass bottles for dark brown or dark green glass (you can use a wine bottle-- really cool with thyme, because it will hang over and grow beautiful flowers). Using green bottles will help you avoid future algal blooms as well--especially if you need to add nitrogen!!

Here in the Philippines, oregano grooows like a weeed. Haha big and fluffy

A little fertilizer tip: I also use a dry food for dogs. Not a cheap brand. Smallest size. It's packed with nutrition, contains minimum of chemicals, and it's little. I drop a couple to the water or insert to the soil (one for tiny containers, more for bigger containers). Twice a month and my plants are having a good time. And my OCD dog didn't even notice that some of her granules are gone.

Coloured bottles can help prevent algae growing in the bottle.Small sponges with slits to hold the cuttings, placed at the mouth of the bottles, can help keep them upright and not sink further under water. Good video :)

Bro really like her vibe, inspires me to do things in this quarantine

I officially started becoming a plant mom

[montacap]

I have to say . I have watched a TON of videos on self help and also growing plants from cuttings . I have NEVER heard someone so calm and okay with them selves. I want a little bit of that in my heart these days I am going threw stuff . I do this with green onions . I cut off most of what comes from the store use it yet leave the bottoms . Grow the bottoms . They give you a endless crop .

We all have been more into gardening during these days😂💕

[asilahab]

This is so fun to do especially during this pandemic situation

[andreamoscoso]

Yes this is so perfect ! I am growing green onions/ scallions in water. You need to keep the roots covered from the sunlight to avoid algae/ bacteria build up.

whilst i was watching your video i instantly checked our vegetables we're trying to grow by water and it's starting to grow roots! i'm so happy i thought they were dying 😭

thank you, audrie. you're really the one who inspires me to do diys and such. hope you're doing well and safe during this pandemic

[GabsPiras]

I'm all about water propagating, so rewarding once they start rooting! Loved this video so so much🌱✨

YO IM SO HAPPY I TRIED THIS WITH SONE MINT AND BASIL I HAD IN THE FRIDGE AND MY MINT GREW SO MUCH!!!! ITS LIKE 8 INCHES TALL NOW!!! IM SO HAPPY!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS!! (The basil died btw I’m so sad about it but it accidentally got fully submerged and wilted ._. )

[carolinh]

I tried it with basil and it worked 😍. The roots started to come out after about 7 days. Another week later I put them in a pot with soil and now they have started to grow a little already ☺️

feel u on the complicated nutrient part! hydroponic growing can get really technical. my channel is all about hydroponics, and honestly, for what you're doing, pH and all that stuff doesn't really matter. if u want a really simple nutrient system, I recommend general hydroponics! they give u the exact instructions, and all u have to do is mix their liquid nutrient by the instructions on the bottle.

[patriciadavis]

THANKS SO VERY, VERY, VERY MUCH FOR SHOWING THE SIMPLE WAY OF DOING THIS ... THERE'S SO MANY CHANNELS THAT MAKE DO DIFFERCULT UNTIL YOU DON'T WON'T TO EVEN TRY ... THANKS TO YOU I WILL START.. MANY BLESSINGS

[jennyl]

i started to grow a basil cutting and some various houseplant cuttings when this video came out 1 week ago, and thy have just sprouted roots! I got really impatient and thought it wouldn't work but I'm so happy they did :) i don't usually get so excited about plants but I loved doing this thanks for sharing it<3

[genesisromero]

After an hour in youtube i found something that actually works...thank you
