TIP: cuttings you wouldn't expect to root in water.

You're usually told to root Rosemary by taking semi-ripe cuttings and putting them in gritty compost. In fact, it's far easier to break off some shoots and put them in a jam-jar of water, where they'll root really quickly - these on the left were making new roots after a few days. Thanks to PAM for this tip, which she discovered by accident when she was given some herbs and popped them in water.

After I'd tried rosemary, I thought about giving carnations a go. Often when you buy a bunch in the florist, there are little sideshoots near the base. These too root well in water - though the fragile young roots need careful handling. All these carnations were rooted in a jamjar of water on the windowsill!
