I do the same with cilantro and parsley. Parsley lasts a reliable 2 weeks or more. With cilantro, 10 days is more my average.  It’s amazing how a whole bunch of cilantro can go from perky to slime in a day!  Some produce comes in plastic bags with holes in them and if I have those, I use them. 
For basil, I do the same thing but keep it out on the counter. 
Tarragon and dill go in a plastic bag with a damp paper towel, in the fridge

I have tons of rosemary outside so no need to preserve that one. Oregano, too. I need to replant sage and thyme. 


 

I put Dill in a plastic container with some water and plastic bag too, but the shelf life is more like cilantro 

 

I started storing used scallions over by the window in a glass with an inch of water to cover the roots, and dag gonnit, it started growing. Amazing!
