Rosemaries from rosemaries

Rosemaries are my favorite herb.

The rosemary plant on my balcony has survived through it all. The blazing sun and humidity, the crazy snow days, and weeks of drought due to a busy month at work. Not only is it resilient, but it also acts as a natural mosquito repellent, and needless to say a wonderful herb to cook with.

Not only has it survived, it has grown in size over the past several years. So when my friend asked me where I got my rosemary plant, I thought it was time to propagate.

👈This is my OG rosemary plant. From this guy, I will be snipping off a few branches to propagate.

Here is a easy 5 step guide on how to propagate rosemaries from stem.

Step 1.) Take a clean pair of scissors and snip off a few branches. I suggest cutting a few branches in case some fail to root.

Step 2.) Peel off the leaves at the end of the branch and use your scissors to strip the brown part of the edge of the branch.

Step 3.) Put the branches in a jar of water and leave it in a place that gets sunlight. Change the water every few days to keep the branches from rotting.

Step 4.) After a few weeks, you should see some rooting. If your branch has not turned brown but yet to root, give it some more time.

Step 5.) Time to plant the branches in soil! Give it plenty of water and love and watch it grow
