Can you make the roots grow on a plant that has been cut?

Question

I hope this makes sense, I have some fresh Mint, it's been cut (not dried), I was wondering if I could put the stems in water and would roots grow from it? I want to regrow the plant

Answer 1

yes, but only with plants with no seeds like runners. put it in water first and then when the roots develope, you put it in soil.

Answer 2

You can by a  root stimulant/hormone powder at most large gardening places. Mint spreads like a weed , you need to plant it inside a little confine or it will take over the whole area.

Answer 3

ofcourse you can grow plant for which roots have been cut.. u just have to apply little amount of auxin at the tip of root initiation part.. after a few days u will notice significant increase in growth of roots for the plant.. auxins used are Indole acetic acid, Indole butyric acid, 2- 4 diphenoxyacetic acid etc...

Answer 4

Just buy root stimulant/hormone powder.

Answer 5

You can use root stimulators, but you have to make sure that you cut it below a "joint" or knuckle.  (where the next leaf will grow from)  if you just have the stem in the water, it won't root since that's not where anything can grow from.  I root plants all the time, & don't use root stimulator, but it's not a bad idea.  But when they do root & I plant them, I give them some vitamin B (or VHF plant food) in the water.  It always works for me, I have (too many) plants all over, lol.

Answer 6

My mom used to do that, and it worked, so just put them in dechlorinated water and let it sit there for awhile.
