easy wood projects - How to regrow basil from a cutting

easy wood projects

Did you know you can regrow basil from a cutting? No, well Im glad it wasnt just me who missed the memo on that one! Its so easy to do and saves spending money on a new plant for the kitchen every few months. Basil is one of my favourite herbs and although it comes into its own in the summer, you cant beat a tomato and basil soup or stew topped with some fresh basil in the winter. So I’m pretty pleased to have discovered this little trick.

Heres how to turn your fresh basil plant into an endless supply:
First, cut a stem of basil roughly 10cm long, making the cut underneath a leaf node, which is a part on the stem where new leaves sprout – the close up picture shows an example. Then remove most of the leaves, leaving only the top ones. 

I cut two stems, but you could do more if you like and share among friends and family when they’re potted.
Place in a glass jar full of water and

leave on a windowsill in sunlight. Try and change the water every few days. 

After a week or two (Id almost given up, but hang on in there) you should start to notice new roots sprouting from the stem! Leave on the windowsill for another couple of weeks until the roots are starting to fill the glass like below.

Then pot into individual pots and leave in a bright sunny place - Im hoping all the cloudy days were having wont affect these little fellas too much. Make sure to water them regularly and try not to pick any leaves until theyve gown a bit bigger.

Easy and no more need to buy new basil plants!
