Rosemary is one of the most widely used aromatic plants in cooking, but it also offers numerous health benefits and is an ideal ingredient for preparing herbal teas, oils and tinctures .
Precisely because of its usefulness, rosemary is an ingredient we should always have at home. What’s better than growing rosemary from a branch ? Below, we’ll explain how to do it.
Reproducing rosemary is very simple and we can do it from a sprig of this plant, a little water and very simple steps.
Another of its advantages is that rosemary can also be reproduced by cuttings , that is, a strong and healthy fragment of a plant.
Carrying out this process at home is very simple and we explain it to you step by step:
Cut a 15 centimeter piece of rosemary sprig diagonally and remove the leaves at its base.
Fill a glass with water and insert the branch. Let it soak overnight.
Place the glass with the plant near a window, in an area of the house that is not very cold.
If you notice water evaporating during the process, add a little room temperature water.
A week later, the first roots will already be formed.
When the roots are well formed (about three weeks later), the rosemary is ready to be placed in a pot with potting soil.
Add some fertilizer to the soil, make a hole in the center and insert the twig.
During the first week, water every two or three days. Remember that rosemary suffers from overwatering.
Now that you know how to propagate rosemary from a sprig , get started right away to have a lush plant in no time.
