Discover the wonderful world of herb gardening right in the comfort of your own home. With just a glass jar and a source of fresh water, you can effortlessly grow a bountiful supply of herbs on your windowsill. Whether you opt for a charming mason jar or any medium-sized container, the growing process remains the same. Let’s explore the nine herbs that thrive in water, bringing flavor, fragrance, and a touch of green to your culinary adventures.
1. Peppermint:
Indulge in the invigorating essence of peppermint by growing it in a jar. Snip off a few leaves to create herbal tea, oil, or add a refreshing twist to your soups. This versatile herb thrives in partially sunny or shady windows, making it a perfect addition to any herb garden.
2. Oregano:
Straight from your windowsill to your pasta, sauces, and soups, fresh oregano adds a burst of flavor to your savory creations. Gently remove a few leaves from the stem using kitchen scissors. Keep an eye on your oregano plant as it can grow quite large.
3. Sage:
Known for its delightful aroma, sage is a popular choice for both culinary and holistic purposes. Enhance the taste of eggs, chicken, lamb, or pineapple with this flavorful herb. Sage prefers moderate sunlight and doesn’t require excessive watering.
4. Basil:
A staple in Italian cuisine, basil thrives in water and can be used in a variety of recipes, from sauces to soups. Ensure your basil jar receives 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day to promote healthy growth and maximize its aromatic potential.
5. Stevia:
Sweeten your tea or coffee naturally with the leaves of this hearty herb. Stevia prefers a bit of sunlight but can adapt well to shadier areas. You can even create your own sweetener by grinding the leaves into powder.
6. Thyme:
Embrace the versatility of thyme, whether in its flowering state or harvested before blooming. Dry the stems and remove the leaves for use in cooking. Remember, thyme craves ample sunlight, so position your jars in a bright window.
7. Rosemary:
This flavorful herb thrives in both sunlight and partially shaded areas. However, it flourishes best when basking in full sunlight. Elevate your favorite chicken dish by adding a touch of rosemary from your own homegrown supply.
8. Lemon Balm:
Harness the soothing power of lemon balm by creating your own herbal tea. Known to alleviate anxiety and aid digestion, this herb can also promote restful sleep. Ensure your lemon balm plant receives plenty of sunlight to enhance its aromatic properties.
9. Chives:
Join the onion family and enjoy the simplicity of growing chives. This versatile herb can be used in a variety of dishes. To achieve optimal growth, provide plenty of water and sunlight. It’s as easy as that!

What the hell is an urb?
Why is the water different colors for the different herb jars?
What are the things sitting inside your mason jars that are holding the stems?
Mice hate pepperment!
This technique can work for growing most herbs and even vegetables. However, chives are not one of them. Chives will rot in water. They produce from a bulb or seed, like onion. The blades themselves will not produce root in water. Stick to woody stemmed herbs such as oregano thyme rosemary or basil. The woodsy stem on them are covered in tiny "hairs" that will grow into roots.
Why can’t Americans pronounce the word ‘herb’. Instead they make it sound like a burp.
Thank you!
WHAT are the pint size mason type jars shown in the video? With that thing in the middle where the roots are growing??? Am I missing it? What are they!?! Please let us know, Thanks!
I don't know a thing about growing Herbs inside my home. Don't have a green thumb. Can I use seeds and grow them inside my home? Would like to grow parsley, chives and more. Also cilantro. Could I grow them in red drinking cups? I probably have to buy good dirt. Would I also need fertilizer? I tried growing Tomatoes outside. My husband and I tried several times. Never had any luck. We used good dirt, but they never produced one tomato. After several attempts, we gave up. I live 25 miles away from Abilene Texas. The ground here is very poor. I planted a rose bush. It turned out to be a tree. It looks pity full. It only blooms one time for a very short time. Please send me a reply. Thank you, and have a pleasant evening.
