Several herbs survive correctly in the water. Get any suitable jars or glass container, then plant young stem cuttings in each pot. When you cut the bottom end the stem and apply some rooting hormones, it is easily capable of absorbing the water and even growing fresh roots. With proper pruning and watering, your herb plants can survive all the winter. Once your herbs have grown some roots, you could also pot them to assure they remain growing long-term.

If you want to grow mint plants in water, get some tip cuttings of roughly 4 to 5 inches long from a mature mint plant. Eliminate the bottom leaves and put the cuttings in a water-filled bottle or glass. Then placed this in a bright window with at least five to six hours of sun each day.

How to grow Sage cuttings in water: 

Choose a cutting of your sage plant. Some have nodes, so assured your cutting holds that some need you to cut off a leaf, and some create pups all by themselves. Place your sage plant cutting in a glass container or jar filled with water (room temperature and rainwater are the most helpful, but water from the tap will work well).

Making sure the highest leaves have lots of airflows, and no leaves are sunk in water. Keep the pot in a hot place with plenty of indirect daylight. Replace the water regularly. Replace the water every day or two to limit the growth of bacteria and algae.

How to grow Basil in water:

Growing Basil in water is super simple. Choose some cutting and put them in a Pot, change the water every 2 to 3 days. The Basil will root after 15 to 20 days - plant and appreciate your unlimited supply of Basil.

How to grow Oregano in water:

Put the oregano herb stems in the pots filled with water and arrange them in a place where they receive at least five to six hours of daylight every day. Growing oregano herbs in water will provide you with a small but regular supply during the winter. Cut every leaf as it grows to mature size. This will boost the stem to grow healthy leaves at the tip.

How to grow lavender cuttings in water :

Propagating lavender in water is even more peaceful than using soil. But there is a downside! Lavender Cuttings rooted in water have a tougher time being transposed than those that are propagated in soil. So hold in mind that you may have a weaker survival rate when you root them in water.

How to growing Rosemary in water: 

Take some pieces of Rosemary nearly 5 to 7 inches large that looks like it is fresher growth. Brown, stick-like stalks won't do. Look for purple and green stalks. With your nails, strip away the outside of the below half of the shoot. Put stripped stems in water. I placed mine in a mason jar on my windowsill by my kitchen sink. I assured the water level was enough that the leaves of Rosemary wouldn't be resting in the water. Grow roots. Be patient.

Replace the water after every 2 to 3 days. Sometimes I even washed the stems in running water when it appeared like mysterious items was beginning to grow on the stalks.
