Vegetables In Water

Carrot Greens

Put them in a shallow container of water in a bright spot to regrow the carrot greens. Keep changing the water every other day, and in a few days, you’ll be able to see tiny green leaves.

Green Onion

A sunny windowsill, transparent jar or glass, and green onion bulbs.

Bok Choy

To regrow again, cut the base of the stem and place this in a small bowl of water. It’s that simple! You will see how the new growth begins in only 2 days.

Celery

To grow again, use the base. Place that in a small bowl of water. It will grow back in 3 or 4 days. Young leaves can be used again, or plant it if you have a small pot.

Fennel

Take a fennel bulb and set it in a cup or small bowl of clear water; a level of water should be at the level of the bulb. Keep the bowl in a spot that receives some sun and change the water in every couple of days.

Lettuce

Cut the leaves at about 1 inch from the bottom. Place the remaining stem in a shallow dish of water (about 1/2 inch). Now place that on a windowsill or under grow lights. Change water in a bowl every 1 to 2 days.

Lemongrass

Get the lemongrass stalks and keep them in water in a bright spot that receives some sun; change the water every day and watch as new leaves begin growing almost immediately. The roots start emerging after a week, and the stalk eventually divides itself (via offshoot stalks) after a few weeks. You can either use it or transplant that in a pot.

Garlic

Find a garlic clove with a green sprout and keep it in a glass. Fill the water up to the level of clove. In 2-3 days the sprout will start to grow and the clove will produce roots. When the sprouts are 3 inches in height, you can cut them for use, leaving 1/3 of the shoot.

Beet Greens

To regrow, slice off the top portion of the beetroot with a knife. Take no more than one-third of the beetroot. Fill a glass, mug or bowl with water. Place the beetroot top into the water, with the cut side facing downward. Set the glass on a windowsill, counter or table that is close to the window so the beetroot top will receive adequate sunlight.
