Growing an edible garden at home has become a new trend, as people try to ensure food security in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. So, if you want to try growing vegetables and herbs, here are some that you can regrow in water.
Simply cut off the bottom of the bok choy stalk and place it in a small bowl of water. You will see significant growth from the center of the stalk in less than a week.
Regrowing lettuce is also done by putting the cut-off bottom part in a small bowl of water. It is said to produce new growth in as early as three days, and at around two weeks, you'll have a new half-head of lettuce.
Put the leftover leaves in a bowl with a small amount of water. Place the bowl in a sunlit area and replace the water every two days. Once new roots and leaves appear, you can now transplant the cabbage in soil.
Cut the bottom of the stalk and put it in a small bowl of water. It may take a while for a full stalk of celery to grow, but in a matter of three to four days, new growth will begin to emerge in the center.
Set aside the white part of the onion that has roots. Put it in a container with water and watch it magically regrow.
Peppermint is not just a refreshing ingredient for our drinks and salads, but it is also used as a medicinal herb that helps ease nausea, upset stomach, and other digestive ailments. To regrow, just place fresh cuttings of peppermint in a container with water.
Oregano is a favorite herb used in pasta sauces and soups. All you need to do to regrow oregano is to put the cuttings in a container with water. Keep an eye on it as it grows because it can get big pretty fast.
Basil is one of the most popular herbs used in cooking. To regrow, simply put basil cuttings in a water-filled container and place it in a sunlit area.
Sage is a well-known essential herb in cooking, but it is also used to facilitate relaxation during yoga or meditation through the practice of 'smudging' or burning of sage. Simply put sage cuttings in water and once it has grown roots, you may then transplant it in soil.
Thyme works perfectly well with sage when it comes to poultry dishes and its flowers are edible too. To regrow, place thyme cuttings in a water-filled container and watch the roots grow two weeks after.
