How to plant rosemary
Today's experience sharing: an introduction to the planting methods of rosemary and potted rosemary, let's take a look together.
Rosemary is actually a type of herbaceous plant, also used as a culinary spice, and it even blooms beautiful light purple flowers in autumn, similar to lavender, but with a very fragrant scent. Not only are the flowers fragrant, but the leaves also constantly emit a fresh and elegant aroma. It is said that regularly smelling the leaves of rosemary can refresh and invigorate the mind. Rosemary can not only be grown from seeds but can also be propagated directly from cuttings! Keeping a pot on the balcony is also very beautiful and refreshing.
So, how to plant potted rosemary at home?
First, the potting soil for rosemary is very important.
If the soil is too prone to caking or using ordinary garden soil, once watered, the potting soil will harden like stone, becoming airtight and waterproof. If the potted rosemary is placed in a poorly ventilated area, it can easily lead to root rot. After the roots rot, it can easily cause blackened stems and leaves, with leaves falling off one by one, so it won't grow well this way.
Therefore, when planting rosemary, it is necessary to choose well-draining and breathable sandy loam to prevent waterlogging and root rot. As long as the potting soil is loose and breathable, it doesn't matter if you don't change the pot or soil for one or two years. Once the roots are strong, it will grow quickly and can even bloom. A small rosemary seedling can grow into a large plant, like a small tree.

Second, rosemary prefers a warm and well-ventilated growing environment.
Rosemary grows very fast in spring, especially when the weather is warm. It will sprout a lot of new leaves. If the potted rosemary is placed on an open balcony or a windowsill, it will grow better and the branches will be stronger.
It is suitable for outdoor cultivation. Although it prefers a warm and well-ventilated environment, even if the temperature in winter is only zero degrees, it can be placed outside without any problems because it is relatively cold-tolerant.
Third, to grow rosemary, you must ensure adequate lighting.
Just like growing other potted green plants, potted rosemary also needs some sunlight. If the light is insufficient, its branches will grow too long, and it may even lose leaves in places without any sunlight, affecting its growth. Therefore, it must be placed in a sunny area for maintenance.
It can be placed in a place with direct sunlight all year round. It is not afraid of the sun. If the potting soil dries out, it is necessary to water it in time, and even occasionally getting rained on is not a problem, as long as the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot are unobstructed. Rosemary is really easy to care for. If you want to plant it, you can simply take a few cuttings and plant them, and they will survive.
