The method of placing sprouts in water is simple and common.

But there are nuances that you should remember to ensure that you are pleased with the result.

First of all, you should remember that water should not be taken from the tap. It is advisable to take rain or melt water. In extreme cases, filtered liquid will do.

The cuttings are placed in a jar of water to a quarter of their length.

Then all this needs to be placed away from direct sunlight.

The cuttings should be inspected daily for rot and slime. The water should be renewed as often as possible (at least 3 times a week).

At the same time, many gardeners add preparations to the water that speed up the process of root formation.

But not every gardener knows that there is another natural and effective method that helps to get cuttings as quickly as possible.

It's about adding honey to water.

Just one tablespoon of the treat per three liters of warm water is enough. Thanks to this, the roots will appear in a week.
