How can my vegetables root in water?
The first thing you have to do is get the cuttings. These they must measure between 10 and 15 centimetersdepending on the size of the plant. In the event that you want to multiply the lettuce, you should take advantage of the trunk. Cut your cuttings with scissors (or serrated knife, as the case may be) previously disinfected with pharmacy alcohol to prevent diseases.
Now you simply have to fill the glass container with water and introduce the cutting. So that it can root easily, it is convenient that it is in a very bright area but away from drafts, since otherwise the leaves could spoil quickly. Likewise, the water must be changed every 1-2 days, cleaning the container each time with a few drops of dishwasher, in order to avoid the appearance of bacteria.
However, the cuttings will begin to root in about 10-15 days.
