I have a uni group project involving a public display. I suggested giving out herb cuttings under the belief that the ridiculous amount of parsley growing in my garden could be cut and divided into separate portions. Turns out apparently parsley won’t grow from cuttings so my question is:
What herbs/small plants will grow fast and easily from cuttings? The display is in two weeks so any help would be appreciated.

Is all this a hoax by the herb companies, or are they truly remarkable plants and it’s just that the giant pharmaceutical companies just dominate and squelch any hopes of the herbs to gain near the popularity?

what do you use on your plants to keep them chemical free but to encourage growth?
i’m talking about mainly herbs & vegetables
chives/oregano/basil etc
onions/carrots/radish/lettuce/tomatoes etc
i have potted all the seeds indoors and they are about 3" average just now and wont be planting outside for a few weeks yet but wondered what you use to encourage growth
thank you

My sister and I want to plant a flower and herb garden. We are very big into all-natural remedies and essential oils and such so we decided to try growing our own flowers and herbs. We’ve never done this before so we need some tips on which would be the best to grow here (Beaumont, South-East Texas. Near the Gulf). The weather is humid and hot in the summer and it rains frequently. In the winter, the lowest temperatures are around 32°F or a little lower. We really want to plant lavender, but we know that it likes dry, hot weather conditions. French Lavender is what we really want to plant. Some other plants are rosemary, mint, parsley, black-eyed Susan, and perhaps some Texas Bluebonnet. So we need to know if these can grow here, and what conditions and care they would need. Thank you so much!

I noticed many teeny white to whitish-green mites on the undersides of my sage, basil, catnip, and cilantro plants today. The plants are about a month old (from seed) so they are only about 1 inch and have only 1 or 2 sets of true leaves. Can I use Schulz Houseplant and Garden insect spray, or would that be too harsh? What are your experiences with mites on young plants?
