i do this when making pesto. i don't remove the tops of the cuttings and i stick the cuttings directly on seedling trays with moist dirt and I place the tray under a bigger plant for shade. I just make sure that the dirt will not dry off. its easy with our monsoon season now but its a challenge during the dry spell.
after a couple of weeks i have new plants to grow or for giveaways.
