October 17, 2021Q.Lavender Cutting In Water, Grew Roots, Roots Turning Brown, Why?
I have a cutting of lavender and it's been in water for two or three weeks and it's been growing roots and stems, seemed to be thriving...the other day I gave it a new container of water differently shaped so the smaller roots had room to grow in new directions. The bottle originally held lemonade but had been washed several times. The next day the roots were all stringy and partly brown. I immediately put it back in the original container with yet more new water but nothing has improved. Is the cutting dead? Do I cut off these roots and try to start again?

Certified ExpertA.I suggest planting it in well draining potting soil. The longer a plant is rooted in water, the longer it will take to adjust to soil life.

Certified ExpertA.It is strange that it would not give a reason why. I suspect that it has been treated with systemic pesticides, which are taken up into the plant. You will have to consult the nursery from which the plant came to ask them why they would have such a label on an edible plant.

Also, please do not include your personal information to the public. I will remove it this time.

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to diagnose the issue. I can say that it does sound a bit like a bacterial infection. This can, often, be corrected using fungicides.
