Never Plant Rosemary Without Watching This!
Rosemary is a wonderfully aromatic herb that adds flavor and fragrance to any home. However, many people struggle with growing it. Whether your rosemary plant isn’t thriving, is growing too slowly, or the leaves are turning yellow, don’t worry — this article will guide you through the best way to plant and care for rosemary to ensure healthy growth and abundant harvests.
Key Steps to Successfully Plant Rosemary
1. Choosing the Right Rosemary Cuttings
The first step in growing rosemary successfully is selecting the right cuttings. It’s essential to choose stems that are already starting to turn woody. These are the mature stems that are brownish at the bottom. Avoid green, soft stems, as they won’t root properly. Once you’ve selected your stems, carefully cut them from the parent plant, leaving about 4-5 inches of stem to work with.
2. Preparing the Planting Medium
For optimal rooting, you’ll need a special growing medium. Start with pure black soil or potting soil, but avoid adding any fertilizer at this stage. Fertilizers can be too strong and may harm the new roots. Then, add a small amount of construction sand — the type used for mixing cement. This sand helps with drainage and prevents the soil from becoming too compact. Sand works similarly to vermiculite, promoting better moisture retention and root development. Mix the soil and sand together until it’s well integrated.
