Rosemary is actually a type of herbaceous plant and also a spice for cooking. Moreover, it blooms beautiful light purple flowers in autumn, similar to lavender, but very fragrant. Not only are the flowers fragrant, but the leaves also constantly emit a fresh and elegant aroma. It is said that smelling the leaves of rosemary can refresh and invigorate the mind. Rosemary can be propagated by seeds, and it can also be directly propagated by cuttings. Keeping a pot on the balcony is very beautiful, fresh, and pleasing to the eye.
So, how to grow potted rosemary 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 stone after watering, which does not allow for proper ventilation and drainage. If the potted rosemary is placed in a poorly ventilated area, it can easily lead to root rot. After the roots rot, it will easily cause black stems and leaves, and the leaves will fall off one by one, so this method is not suitable for growing rosemary.
Therefore, when planting rosemary, it is necessary to choose well-draining and breathable sandy loam soil to prevent waterlogging and root rot. As long as the potting soil is loose and breathable, it is actually fine not to repot or change the soil for one or two years. Once the roots are strong, the plant will grow quickly and can even bloom. A small rosemary seedling can grow into a large plant, similar to a small tree.

Second, rosemary prefers a warm and ventilated growing environment.
Rosemary grows very fast in spring, especially when the weather is warm. It will sprout many 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 ventilated environment, even if the temperature is only zero degrees in winter, it can be placed outside without any problem because it is relatively cold-resistant.
Third, it is essential to maintain sufficient sunlight when growing rosemary.
Just like growing other potted green plants, potted rosemary also requires some sunlight. If there is not enough light, its branches will grow excessively long, and in places completely without sunlight, it will easily shed leaves, affecting growth. Therefore, it must be placed in a sunny area for maintenance.
