"Which Basil rooted quickest?
The Basil piccolino cuttings were taken on 7.7.22 the Basil batik was put into water on 1.7.22. The winner is cuttings in a substrate.
We use coir and vermiculite for most of our cuttings.
Another plus for cuttings in a substrate is that the plant grows away much quicker than the water cutting when potted up. "
This isn't written by me but by Jekka McVicar, Queen of Herbs. I'm impressed that the Basil in coir has grown to that size in a week. This maybe the way forward since I have plenty of coir now.
