When you need a little help

Few weeks ago, i bought mint from the grocery, tried to root it but miserably failed. I was guessing it was due to the water viscosity that doesn't really "inviting" for mint's root to sprout.

So... I remembered back then when i was in taiwan, i used jelly balls that retain water as planting media. It's wet, but not that wet to let the plant rot.

It's the second day and i already some root emerge. I hope that this ain't false hope and silently praying that all these mint cuttings can survive. It's a bit hard as the mint are not freshly cut from alive plant. But compared to the leaves i put in the storage, these mints surely look like that they are fresh. The leaves looks vigor and the cuttings look strong. I did have to remove one or two stalks that looks like passed their wilting point. So i hope they'll grow just fine. I want to have pots of mints at home.
