11 herbs you can grow with just water

Basil is one of the most popular herbs to grow in water due to its fast growth and versatility in cooking. To start, take a cutting of about 4 inches from a healthy basil plant, ensuring it includes a few leaves. Place the cutting in a glass of water, making sure the leaves are above the waterline to prevent rot. Within a week or two, roots will begin to form. Keep the glass in a sunny spot, and change the water every few days to keep it fresh. Once the roots are about 2 inches long, you can start using the basil leaves in your dishes.
