Growing Sage from cutting is easier than germinating the seeds.
Steps to propagating sage from cutting
Cut the stem’s end at 45 degree
Remove bottom-most leaves as this part will be in the water
Need only 2 or 3 leaves at the top
Use net-cup to support roots tip in water
Bright rooting environment
In Singapore, this herb is not common in local supermarkets.
It can be bought from European outlets such as Jason or Cold Storage.
Rooting cutting in netcup with a sponge, sealed access to stagnant water in the bottle reservoir.
This prevents mosquitoes from accessing water to breed. For busy gardeners, this method is the safest for rooting cutting.
For this Sage, roots showed in 6 days.
Once the roots showed, it grew rapidly.
In a month, the single stem is taller and had multiplied.
We were able to prune the longer stems for more rooting after harvesting the leaves for our kitchen.
Most of our indoor herbs were grown in the liquid and hang on our windows to harness the sun.
Pruning (Cut stems) helped herbs grew better, by regenerating more side branches.
Sage grew relatively fuss-free in both soil and liquid-based.
Like most herbs, this is a cut and grow plant.
New leaves showed after 2 weeks.
