In this guide, we’ll explore the best vegetables you can grow from cuttings, how to propagate them, and how to enhance growth using high-quality grow lights like those available at EDKFARM.
1. Green Onions & Leeks
- How to propagate: Place the white root end in a glass of water. Within a few days, new green shoots will appear.
- Best growing method: Water or soil-based growing. Keep them under LED grow lights for consistent regrowth.
- Why it’s great: Green onions and leeks regrow quickly and can be harvested multiple times.
2. Basil & Mint
- How to propagate: Cut a 4-6 inch stem just below a leaf node and place it in water. Once roots form, transfer it to soil or a hydroponic system.
- Best growing method: Hydroponic or soil-based with sufficient grow light exposure.
- Why it’s great: Herbs like basil and mint thrive indoors with adequate lighting, making them perfect for year-round harvesting.
3. Celery
- How to propagate: Cut the base of the celery and place it in shallow water. New shoots will emerge in a few days.
- Best growing method: Start in water, then transplant to soil for stronger growth.
- Why it’s great: A kitchen staple that regrows effortlessly with minimal effort.
4. Lettuce & Bok Choy
- How to propagate: Place the bottom of the stalk in water. Once roots form, transfer to soil.
- Best growing method: Works well in both hydroponic setups and soil.
- Why it’s great: An excellent way to reduce food waste while maintaining a fresh supply of greens.
5. Sweet Potatoes
- How to propagate: Place half of a sweet potato in water, and sprouts (slips) will grow. Once they reach 4-6 inches, remove and plant them in soil.
- Best growing method: Soil-based planting, with supplemental full-spectrum grow lights to encourage growth.
- Why it’s great: One sweet potato can produce multiple slips, ensuring a continuous supply.
6. Tomatoes & Peppers
- How to propagate: Cut a 4-6 inch stem with leaves and place it in water. Once rooted, transplant it to soil or a hydroponic system.
- Best growing method: Thrive in soil or hydroponic setups under grow lights that mimic sunlight.
- Why it’s great: A great way to multiply plants without relying on seeds.
