Will Thai basil grow roots in the water?

Question

I just got some Thai basil, I already put them in the water, will they grow roots just like the mints?

or should I put them in moist soil instead?

Answer 1

I know for a fact Basil will grow roots in water, so I am pretty sure Thai basil will do the same.

Answer 2

Yes, put them in water and place the container where it can get enough light... but not in the sun.  It'll take about a week before you see the root.
