Never Plant Rosemary Without Reading this!!! (Page 2 ) | May 30, 2025

3. Preparing the Cuttings
Once you have your rosemary stems ready and the soil is prepared, it’s time to start planting. Trim off any leaves on the lower part of the cutting, leaving just the top leaves intact. This allows the plant to focus its energy on developing roots rather than maintaining excess foliage. The next step is to moisten the bottom of the stems before placing them in the soil. This helps encourage the roots to grow.

4. Planting the Rosemary Cuttings
Now that your cuttings are prepared, it’s time to plant them. Make a small hole in the prepared soil and gently place the cut end of the rosemary stem into the hole. Ensure that the stem is stable and upright. After planting, cover the cutting with soil and gently pat it down to secure the plant. Be sure to leave the plant in a spot where it will receive some indirect sunlight but avoid harsh, direct sunlight, as this can cause the cutting to dry out.

5. Watering the Cuttings
Water the soil immediately after planting the cuttings, ensuring the soil is moist but not soaking wet. For the first few weeks, you need to water the cuttings every day. Consistent moisture is critical for root development, but be careful not to overwater. The goal is to keep the soil damp, not saturated.

6. Creating the Ideal Environment for Rooting
Place your cuttings in a shaded area where they will not be exposed to direct sunlight. This is crucial because direct sunlight can dehydrate the cuttings and prevent them from taking root. After about 7 to 10 days, you should begin to see signs of growth, with small new shoots emerging. It’s essential to keep the cuttings in a semi-shaded spot until they are well established. The rooting process may take anywhere from 30 to 75 days, depending on the temperature and conditions.
