I was surprised when you put the bottle on. Your methodical speaking and accent too makes me relaxed.

You're a natural teacher, Johnny, and the relaxed and methodical manner in which you express things makes them sink in! Excellent. Thanks very much for the video. But I did have a question about subsequent watering, when next and how often?

Thanks this is a big help I just started some thyme

Great Video, I definitely learned something here.. I'm in South Florida and have a nice  German Thyme plant growing in a large pot...  I started it from seed, and have friends and family asking me to grow them one.. Using this method will increase my chances of success, taking cuttings from an already successful, flourishing plant.. I didn't know I could do this.. Thanks for posting..

Thanks this really helped. Didn't have an old bottle so I used a ziplock back over it. Hope this works.

I've got a pot of thyme too. Leaves are real delicate though. Wonder if I'd have the same success. I tried dividing it by the roots and they died ): I live in Malaysia.

very confusing and from the distance you filmed the first cutting, could not see the leaves left on the cutting. It looked completely stripped. Then on the close-up you showed cuttings with leaves left on. Was confusion to me what to strip off and what to leave on. I had to watch it several times to try to figure it out.

What if I bought thyme from the supermarket, but it was in a refrigerator. Can I use cuttings from that?

[trumatter]

Oh also, my thyme is growing new leaves ❤️ thank you

[sweetumssweet]

Why you put that plastic bottles? I didn't understand that & thanks for amazing video!

[trumatter]

Hi. When do we remove the cover? Keep it for 4 weeks?

[blaque]

When do they start needing water? After 10 hours or more? When should I water them?

[shericreates]

I have been trying to take cuttings and process like you said but place in water until roots form. As soon as I transplant they die. Guess I’ll try your way and hope for the best.
