- Use a clear container it helps you see when the water needs to be changed and you can watch the roots grow.
- Do not submerge the cloves or green onions in water they will become cloudy, smelly and will begin to rot.
- Add just enough water to cover the bottom of the cup and touches just the bottom of the cloves.

Your budding garlic cloves and green onions will start to sprout in just a few days. It's a cool little hobby and a great way to save money on vegetables.
The same applies to herbs like sage, basil and mint. Just snip at the stem of the given plant and place it in a clear container of water. In a few days you will begin to seem roots. In a month, you can plant in a pot of soil or just contunie to water.
