Sometimes it's too much light, not enough light, inconsistent moisture... and sometimes inexplicable. Making essential oils is not a process I have tried or am familiar with. It involves using a still, which is above my head. Divya: I’ve had a few do the same thing. Sometimes it’s too much light, not enough light, inconsistent moisture… and sometimes inexplicable.

I have a lovely rose geranium plant, which I think was given to me as a cutting 6 months ago. I tried to multiply 2 of them - one of them looks really wilted - it's been 4 days - but it's still green, what am I doing wrong? Also, are rose geraniums edible? How can one make oils from them and use them in say, laundry, etc? Hi! I have a lovely rose geranium plant, which I think was given to me as a cutting 6 months ago.

I have started some herbs on my back porch and tried cloning my basil plant when I read this. It's got some roots now, about half an inch long, but I'm not sure what indicates "healthy enough" to transfer to soil. Can anyone help a newbie out?

I have not heard that before and am curious what it means. I think my mom wishes I never heard of this method since again I have a number of cuttings around. :p Sorry to be a pain Gayla, but what did you mean when you said “cutting callus or “heal over” for a few hours”?
