I'm into experimenting of late
especially with herbs and veggies.
I'm not giving up on flowers in fact choosing the right flowers
to go with the herbs that I intend to plant.
In other words, companion planting.
"Daun Kesum", a local herb, is used a lot in my cooking so I'm quite keen to
have a pot of this in my garden.
If you can see at the photo below the leaves are quite bruised
because I bought this from the supermarket.
Instead of throwing it away after cooking
I'm propagating it.

I soaked the stems of leftover daun kesum overnight..
check out how it rooted!
I cut up the stems between nodes using kitchen scissors
and I got 8 rooted sticks to plant.
After one month since rooting,
Ta-daaa!!!
But only one seedling is growing which is good enough for me :)
The rest of the stems got eaten up by tiny white snails :(
I have failed many times to propagate this plant before.
Now I'm happy with just this one,
which I believe will grow big and
produce more leaves!
All the best to you :)
Happy Gardening!
