Also, nice work on cloning your cherokee plant, did you use a rooting agent? I like rootech myself. Well, thanks for posting it is inspiring. Charles

On the Cherokee Purple all I did was to cut an actively growing stem with new baby leaves on it. put it in some water and wait for roots to appear. I kept it indoors, but where it could get some sun. I have also had others say that they just stuck theirs directly into the soil medium and kept it out of the sun. Good luck with that cilantro!
