Ever dreamt of an endless supply of rosemary? Well, dream no more! Follow these simple steps and watch one plant turn into many. Let’s create a rosemary oasis together!
1️⃣ Start with One: Grab that lone rosemary plant; it’s about to become many.
2️⃣ Snip Snip: Cut the tips off about 1-2” long. These will be your starts but this practice of pruning will also help the original plant grow strong.
3️⃣ Plant them Up: Whip up a seedling bed in a tray with compost, worm castings, vermiculite, and sifted topsoil — or if you prefer just buy a seed starter mix.
4️⃣ Rooting Magic: Dip the cuttings in rooting hormone, then nestle them into the planting cells.
5️⃣ Love them: Water and settle them in a warm, sunny spot. A makeshift greenhouse works wonders too!
6️⃣ Roots to Rejoice: In weeks, roots will appear. Time to move your rosemary to its new home in the garden or containers.
