A sprig is a small stem or shoot bearing leave or flowers normally as part of a herb shoot.
This term is normally used in cooking to refer to small sections taken from herbs normally 2 – 4 inches, such as mint, rosemary or parsley, to use in a recipe or dish.
When cultivating plants from other plants, you would take a cutting or sprig from the mother plant and plant it in river sand with root generation solution to create a new plant from scratch.
