A couple months ago, my mint which was planted in a large terra cotta pot seemed to be ebbing out. Normally, mint is so prolific that it almost becomes a pest. I decided to go about salvaging the plant. I cut a 4-5 inch piece off of the freshest sprig. I put it in a small glass with water taking off any leaf that would be submerged. I placed it on my kitchen window sill. Within a couple weeks, the sprig had grown beautiful roots. I took it out to my herb garden and planted it. The picture above is the plant!!! Any tender herb, such as mint and basil, can be propagated this way. It is a wonderful way to get many plants out of one and in my case, to save my plant.
