Do you know that you can plant basil and peppermint from the stem? It is really easy to plant these herbs. I do not have green hands. Often I failed to plant anything from seeds. Maybe I don’t have the patient.
Anyway, first you get a basil or peppermint stem and put into a glass of water. After 1 week, it will root. Then prepare a pot and soil. You have to make sure that the soil is wet and moist before transplanting. Water it every day. You will see it growing. It is that easy and simple. See how many pots I have made from 1 basil/peppermint plant.
