Tips for growing potted rosemary, from a small seedling to a small tree, with lush branches and leaves that are fragrant
Rosemary is actually a type of herbaceous plant and also a seasoning for cooking. Moreover, it blooms beautiful light purple flowers in autumn, similar to lavender flowers but very fragrant. Not only are the flowers fragrant, but the leaves also emit a fresh and elegant scent at all times. It is said that sniffing the leaves of rosemary can refresh and invigorate the mind. Rosemary can be grown not only from seeds but also propagated directly from cuttings. Keeping a pot on the balcony is also very beautiful and refreshing!
So, how to grow a potted rosemary plant at home?
First, the potting soil for growing rosemary is very important
Soil that is too prone to caking or using ordinary garden soil can cause the potting soil to harden like a stone after watering, becoming airtight and waterproof. If the potted rosemary is placed in a place with poor ventilation, it can easily lead to root rot. Once the roots rot, the plant can easily develop black stems and leaves, with leaves falling off one by one, so this method is not suitable for growing.
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 well-ventilated, it doesn't matter if the pot and soil are not changed for one or two years. With strong roots, the plant 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 in spring. It will sprout many new leaves. If the potted rosemary is placed on an open balcony or a windowsill, it will grow better and have stronger branches.
It is suitable for outdoor cultivation. Although it prefers a warm and well-ventilated environment, even if the temperature is only zero in winter, it can be placed outdoors without any problem because it is relatively cold-resistant.
Third, to grow rosemary, it is essential to ensure sufficient sunlight
Like other potted green plants, potted rosemary also requires some sunlight. If there is not enough sunlight, its branches will grow excessively long, and in places completely without sunshine, it can easily lose leaves, affecting growth. Therefore, it must be placed in a sunny area for maintenance.
