Chocolate mint herbs in mugs

Here are some chocolate mint herbs that I potted into plastic cups with some ventilation holes punctured to the bottom of the cup. I placed potted plastic cups into the coffee mugs that were bought from the op shop. I selected mint green and black coloured themed mugs to style. Potted chocolate mint herbs in mugs will make nice gifts for relatives and friends.

Pre-annual basil plants grown from stem cuttings

These are delicious perennial basil plants out of many that I grew from tiny stem cuttings of about 1cm in height when planted in soil. After a few weeks, these plants grew tall and voluminous to about 25cm to 30cm in height. I placed these plants into larger pots with a stake to support the middle branch of each plant to make plant look ornamental and decorative.

I am going to wait for these plants to grow even taller and more voluminous before giving them away as presents to relatives and friends.

Basil leaves are great for tossing into salad, making bolognese sauce, focaccia and pizza.

Decorative presentation of chocolate mint herb plant

This pot of chocolate mint herbs were grown by stem cuttings. Plant became voluminous as leaves grew larger and lushes. The stems grew longer. I placed a wire frame at the back of the pot to clip stems of plant onto the stake. This made the plant look decorative.
