How To Regrow Lettuce With Just Water! 

I am doing this now. I saw green growth in the middle 8 hours after I put the end in water. The next day it's 1/4 inch. This is the closest thing I have seen to magic.

If you take a super thin, almost see through slice off the bottom to make a fresh cut it will happen even faster as that part gets dried out when harvested. When the roots start to get approximately 3/4" out the bottom I go plant it in soil and it makes a full head again and again.

Dang, all these things I throw away I could have simple regrow?! I feel cheated! Anyway, green garden here I come. Thanks girl for this amazing knowledge. :)

I’m just starting to see my lettuce grow. It’s amazing, as this is my first time trying to grow food. I also have peppers growing from store bought seeds. 😀

I'm currently growing lettuce too, day 7 and you're right it's fun to watch it grow daily. I'm doing it with celery too. Hope you are having a great day

I am years late. Lol But I did this yesterday afternoon and this morning I have lettuce sprouts coming up the middle already. That is truly magic lol

Love this! The fact that I can do this on the kitchen counter is awesome, because I live in an apartment. Can't wait to try this! Thanks for this video!

This is such an easy way to grow lettuce, I was amazed at how it changed everyday. I just transferred mine to a pot of soil and can start setting it outside now. Looking forward to trying the other veggies as well, thanks for the idea!

I never knew in all my years this could be done... And it is in the works. After one week I am amazed!!! Thanks you!!!!!

Thanks, I needed this for my science project I'm doing.

I like how easy the process was when going from day 1 to day 9. That was a great experience. Great video!

You are the first person I actually subscribed and commented on! So worth it, thank you for all of your knowledge!

I just did this! I tried two methods- cutting short and leaving some leaves to encourage photosynthesis so the plant doesnt die. The latter seems to be doing better, but my growth under grow lights is much slower than what you had. Green onions work well with this method too.

Yes, I have regrown some of my vegetables. I tried the romaine lettuce first, put out roots and I transplanted into a pot of soil. Rather than putting out a bunch of leaves, it grew more like a stalk with small leaves growing off the stalk. The stalk and leaves at one point toppled over so I staked it upright again. After about a month, I decided to harvest the leaves to make a very small salad. After that, the core planted in the soil seemed to go into shock, never regrew anything and eventually rotted away. I've got a few more romaine cores going, plus a lot of scallions, celery, beets and bok choy. I've got green leaf lettuce and arugula, started from seeds, growing in a small self-water planter with soil. In another self-watering planter, I'm growing spinach from seeds but it's going to take a few weeks for the spinach to get big enough to start harvesting. They're all in my windows since I live in an apartment and have no outdoor space.

Lettuce is always more bitter at the white part. I has many a spit moment as a child. Younger leaves do tend to be sweeter. Also there are medicinal qualities to lettuce, especially wild varieties.

Thank you for the video! Glad to hear you can plant in soil eventially as well.

Thanks for sharing! How many times can you regrow using the same lettuce bottom?

I'm here because last night I made a salad with a beautifully bright green, crisp, perfect lettuce, and wanted to replicate it. Thanks...😊

I’m just like your toddler. I look forward to trying this.

I loved doing these little experiments when I was a kid. So much fun.

I can't wait to try! I googled...how to grow romaine lettuce and you popped up! I can't wait to see my lettuce grow!

I didn't know it would keep coming out even if I cut the lettuce. I'm gonna have to try.👍

Growing in window now more spring onion tops! I just snip off new tops and use them in my cooking. I change the water daily. I now want to try with romaine lettuce after seeing your video.

I enjoyed the video. A friend tried growing a lettuce from a lettuce, but was unsuccessful, so I will pass on what I learned from your video. Thanks:)

Tried it Monday with my romaine and this morning there was a sprout. I could not believe it. What a way to save money and have fun.

That salad made me hungry the lettuce looked so fresh ☝

I feel like all the water changes would slow the growth process, I've been growing bonsai for 22 years and the most important thing with any cuttings is stability, movement will damage the little roots OK your not trying to grow a root and its not so much regrowth as just carrying on growth, Nature is just so magical and amazing. This is a fantastic way to teach kids how we never have to go hungry if we learn to grow stuff. Super cute video, I do this with all my kitchen veg scraps..

This is my first time enjoying your RU-vid channel. Great work! I’m looking forward to more great content from you. Thank you so much for this informative video! I got so much out of it.

This was really cool to watch and helpful. I can’t wait to try! Thank you for sharing 🙂

Nice view i love that veguetable love salad stay safe nice voice

l tried it last week and IT WORKS...thank you

Great video...it's amazing how fast it grew❤️🌎✌️

I’ve regrown my romaine this way and it was really cool to watch! What is the best soil you recommend for planting lettuce or veggies?

I've just did this week one done and also did a celery. Put them in bourbon glasses and they have took off. And I have enjoyed every day seeing it grow.

I'm so excited to hear you are moving! Congrats and best wishes to you. ♥️

I just happen to have one more lettuce left for this experiment. Thank you!

Can't believe it grows so fast! I definitely need to try this!! And great to hear your voice, congrats on the move! :)

Just started with the lettuce. I always scrape the cutting board into a pot of dirt when I cut up a vegetable containing seeds. I now have numerous tomato plants and four avocado sprouts, and I also have an asparagus bed and my first ever fig sapling. I figure if I grow everything I can, something is bound to survive.😮

Growing at the counters

Thank you; this was the best explanation of how to start and when to plant ! 👏👏

In the process now. Will let you know how it goes. Thank you! 👍

I like the video and will be growing my own lettuce and other veges

Took your advice and voila!!!! I have lettuce growing!!! Thank you for posting. Diane

My sister recently bought some romaine hearts. Your video showed me to keep a little of the leaves instead of cutting down to the stump. Maybe one day I'll update this and tell of my progress!

Great video, I will definitely try this hope I don't mess up I have never plant anything in my life this will be my first experiment. Thanks for the video!👍👍

Going to the kitchen right now ! Thank you 💞

Wonderful and soothing voice, nice video thank you my friend 🙏🏻🌱❤️

I'm doing this with celery. I love gardening, I have a mini garden on my balcony.

It’s more than one week no leaves have come out.did you think I did something wrong ? I can’t wait to see it regrow

I didn't cut mine. I pulled the leaves off and left the small center leaves. I've had it in water for two days and it's growing new leaves already.

thanks for sharing how to plant lettuce insidd the glass.,

Smart people, The government wouldn't like this 😂

My best friend, It's always great. Your video is excellent quality. We liked and enjoyed to the end.

I love to plant

Thank you for the vedio I want to try

I started doing this like a week ago...there are some shoots...so I was looking up if I needed to put it in soil and found you, subbed, and I'm glad to know I only need water. Thank you for that also good to know that it continues to grow...so I'm going to get another stalk of romaine so I can have two growing at the same time.

So much fresher and greener🌿💕

Wow. So cool. This will happen in my home.

Unbelievable. So glad I bumped into your video. We should learn this in school.

Thank you my lettuce bolted. However, I know what to do now thank you. Starting over 😄

I definitely did not know I could do this. I will give it a try! Thanks for sharing!

I'm just trying to be wonderful like Gma. Thank you for helping us here in Iowa. Im trying to figure out the grass needs and everything else. Oh for crying out loud.... hahaha

Good but I was waiting to see how much of the lettuce you put in the soil 😔

This looks amazing ! I have to try it

OMIGOD!! SO IMPRESSED!! Had no idea thank you for the video!!

Wow great

Why would you make a video about a process you couldn't finish??

wow

Thanks, Jennifer. Regrowing my first Romaine lettuce today.

How many time can you regrow? I grow them in soil in the past and after 2-3 cuts they become too bitter to eat

Thanks for the video! Amazing! I was curious if I can regrow them in a pot with soil after they have been in the water?

I love it Awesome lettuce I think this lettuce tastes better

How long did it take before you saw roots? I've had mine in water (changing the water daily) for about two, three weeks and have seen no roots yet. Just wondering if this is normal.

Thank you so much Jennifer, this will help me

We all need this..specially this crisis

I want to grow these for my rabbits

what Vegetables can grow in xtreme heat and cold!???!?!! i have really old tiny apartment. heat waves all summer and freezing all winter lol Thank you. Lovely VIDEO!

Wow amazing. Thank you so much for sharing this

Thank you.. here I’m New York they are charging $12 now, usually it was $5.

How many times can you repeat this process of re grow using the old cutted stem?

I am trying to grow my own veggies. I buy organics of the time, so I want to take any seeds and replant them. I am growing the lettuce like you have grown in this video ..starting to see the center come in green. So I will continue through this week and possible transition Fer to soil.

That's great, thanks!

Lemongrass are easy to grow as well

Nice tip & no waste! Thank you

I'm currently doing this method with a store bought pineapple. I'm going to try it with lettuce. I've used a different method before with lettuce, had no luck.

What do you do after the "roots" grow; just stick it in soil and for how long will it take to grow a lettuce from it?

Id like to know how to regrow sweet potato. Ive seen them grow leave. Not potato

Thank you for sharing this great idea

Your counters are beautiful! And I will definitely try this. Would it matter if I use bottled water instead? The tap water quality here in Texas isn't that great.

It's Awesome. This video helped me a lot. And it's wow to know that it can be grown with just water.🙂🙂

Thanks for sharing the idea.

I'm recognizing a lot of stuff I took out AA Apple included and I saw some seeds that were sprouting so I planted them and then I planted A Tree seed that I saw

It came out well. Thanks for sharing 👍

This is very very helpful! Thanks a lot for this video😌😌❤️❤️❤️

I loved this tutorial! Thank you so much for helping me grow my lettuce, your the best!

My life will never be the same!!!

Yeah, mine is in Day 3 now. Hopefully it’ll grow healthily..

Food shortages are coming, definitely good to learn all of this now

You have saved me money! Thank you’

Thanks for sharing I will definitely try this
