Oregano is a hardy herb that flourishes in water. This Mediterranean staple is great for seasoning pizzas, soups, and pasta dishes.
- How to grow: Cut a sprig of oregano about 5-6 inches long from an existing plant. Place the cutting in a glass of water on a sunny windowsill. Keep the water fresh by changing it every few days. Once roots form (usually in 2-3 weeks), you can either pot the plant or leave it in water for continuous growth.
4. Thyme
Thyme is a resilient herb that adapts well to water-based growing. It’s commonly used in seasoning meats, soups, and stews, and its medicinal properties are also highly valued.
- How to grow: Snip off a fresh thyme cutting about 3-4 inches long. Place the stem in a container of water and change the water every 2-3 days to keep it fresh. Thyme will start growing roots in about 2-4 weeks, after which it can be kept in water or transferred to a pot.
