Rosemary Care

It’s better to under-water than over-water the plant. Because rosemary is drought tolerant once it is established, let the plant dry out between the waterings and keep the soil moist but not soggy!

Pruning is necessary to maintain the shape of the plant. But do it once the plant has finished flowering.

This plant doesn’t require regular fertilizing. But you can use balanced liquid fertilizer to promote its growth.

This herb requires at least six hours of full sun a day, so place it on a south-facing window if you can.

For rosemary, well-draining loamy or sandy soils are the best.

Cutting is the easiest way to propagate rosemary. And here’s the nice bonus – it’s not only easy and cheap but also can encourage bushier growth.

This shrub is into warmth, so their preferred temperature range is between 55 and 80 F (12-26 C). Temperatures below 30 F (-1 C) are dangerous for rosemary.

Before choosing a pot, make sure it has a drainage hole. When it comes to size, it needs to be with a diameter of about 12 inches (30 cm).

This herb is associated with memory and recollecting. For example, in the Spanish fairy tale ‘The spring of Rosemary,’ the main character touches rosemary, and it restores his magically lost memory. And it was similar for a lot of Europeans and Australians because they used this herb as a symbol of remembrance of death.
