I bought 2 bunches of water spinach or kangkong leaves in the market. Also, Propagating them is very easy. You can do propagation by seeds or by cutting the stems. Since I have lots of stems, I simply soak them in a jar of water and wait for the roots and leaves to develop. Place them in the sunny part of your house or window sill. You will have to change the water every 2 or 3 days for healthy roots, then transfer them to the pot.

Day 1
