How to Utilize the Leftover Fresh Herbs from a Grocery Store?

You can have new plants from the leftover fresh herbs that you have got from a grocery store or a farmer’s market easily. The trick is to get fresh herbs with stems attached and root them as soon as possible.

Things You’ll Need:

Glass Jars or Pots
Freshwater or Potting Mix
Fresh Herbs
Rooting Hormone (Optional)

Instructions:

Remove the bottom leaves from the 3-4 inch long stem cutting.
Dip the cutting in a rooting hormone, put it in a glass jar filled with fresh water, and place it on a sunny windowsill. You can also propagate cuttings in a potting mix or soil.
Growing herbs hydroponically is quite popular and easy as well. We have a great article on it here.

Thyme can be grown from 3-4 inches cuttings. Remove the lower leaves and plant the cutting in a soil mix. It requires similar growing conditions as rosemary, so you can pair them together too! Do not take more than 25-35 percent of the overall plant at one time.
