How to grow rosemary in a pot starting from a sprig or seeds

Rosemary is an indispensable plant in our kitchens. It is not only an important ingredient in a myriad of typical preparations, but it is also very rich in therapeutic properties and health benefits.

This wonderful aromatic plant can grow at home, in common pots. A few very simple precautions are enough to have a lush and very fragrant rosemary plant , and we will list them for you immediately below.

Rosemary is a very resistant plant that can withstand different climates. It is grown from seeds or cuttings.

Obtain cuttings of about 8 centimeters in length, preferably cut in early summer. Choose healthy, green pieces, preferably from a thriving plant.

Fill a pot with all-purpose potting soil, but add a few rocks to improve drainage. Good drainage, which prevents water stagnation, is very important for rosemary.

Place the rosemary pot in a well-lit place throughout the day. It can be placed both inside the house and outside: it is a plant that easily adapts to all contexts, but it is important that it receives the right amount of light.

Water rosemary only when its soil is completely dry. During the warmer months you can increase the frequency of watering, but it is essential to avoid water stagnation which can cause the roots to rot.

The plant will take a few months before growing and becoming lush. To use it, just cut sprigs of about 7-8 cm in length, starting from the tips of the stems and making sure to leave some needles on the base of the sprig remaining on the plant.
