Did you put the mint cuttings in water in order to get them to root?

 

 

 

Yes, I filled a whisky glass with water and popped the sprigs in. Sometimes they take; not always. I can't find "rooting powder" here. No doubt that would help. When they do work, it takes about three days to have roots, but I guess that is weather dependent.

 

A sprig this size, grew to this in about ten days.

And here is a cutting from the above after five days. Some has been eaten from both plants.
