June 6, 2017A.No, rooting in a planting medium is the way to propagate Lavender.
Placing in water will not be successful.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/herbs/lavender/rooting-lavender-cuttings.htm

July 28, 2018Q.Growing Celery
I got Susan's tip about how to keep it from tasting bitter. But as growing advice, my plants are looking very healthy and each has about 6-8 main stalks. However there are a number of side growths, thin stalks, coming from the root. Should I remove these to maintain strong growth for the main stalks?

August 10, 2018A.Tie growing celery stalks together to keep them from sprawling.
Pick the stalks whenever you want. Young celery is as good as the mature product.
Harvest stalks from the outside in. You may begin harvesting when stalks are about 8 inches tall.Was this answer useful?00 - Asked by

February 14, 2019A.If it was entirely frozen it would not likely survive to root.
You would be best starting over rooting a fresh celery root end.Was this answer useful?00 - Asked by

Certified ExpertA.Yes! This is much better than water as long as you can keep from overwatering it. Make sure that the soil does not stay moist for more than a couple of days, and make sure that it does not dry out completely. There is a delicate balance to achieve, but the results are much better when you nail those parameters down.
Here is an article to help you with the care of the plant once it establishes:
