I'm afraid I might mess up the roots or something. <br /><br />But I'm sure I'll get curious enough one of these days.<br /><br />You know my odd looking peppermint? I suspect it had something to do with the soil. It's still anemic looking.

Dig the soil around its base and you will see numerous stolons growing underground. Do not mistake them with the roots. Roots are fine (hair-like) while stolons are thick as the stems. I'll post some pictures later to aid your Mastering Horticulturehttp://masteringhorticulture.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875489790462053260.post-41586380487826829482010-03-25T05:07:18.702-07:002010-03-25T05:07:18.702-07:00By the way, your peppermint seems extremely bushy....By the way, your peppermint seems extremely bushy. The one I have looks different. It has reddish thin stems and small leaves. Could there be something wrong with the way I'm growing it? <br /><br />In contrast though, my Japanese and Chocolate mints seem "appropriately" bushy although still paling in comparison to the one in your picture.Chris and his Mintshttp://cianoy.blogspot.com/2010/03/mint-cuttings-new-roots-and-mint.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875489790462053260.post-45600129012670331422010-03-25T05:04:18.622-07:002010-03-25T05:04:18.622-07:00Yes, that perfectly clarifies it!

Cloning is just a term for propagating or multiplying a plant material by using vegetative plant parts instead of seeds. Stem cutting is another form of cloning. <br /><br />Stolon is a modified stem which grows underground. I like using them for propagating since they already have roots and new sprouts on them.

Doesn't it yield the same results?Chris and his Chocolate Minthttp://cianoy.blogspot.com/2010/03/hanging-herbs.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
