Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. It is drought-tolerant, so err on the side of underwatering rather than overwatering to prevent root rot.
Yes, you can grow it indoors, but ensure it receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. A sunny windowsill is ideal.
You can harvest rosemary throughout the year as needed. For the most intense flavor, harvest in the morning after the dew has dried.
It prefers well-draining soil. A sandy loam or a potting mix designed for herbs or succulents works well.
As a perennial, it can survive winter, especially in milder climates. If you live in a region with harsh frosts, bring it indoors or provide protection.
The trailing habit means it will spread outwards and downwards. The exact spread can vary, but it is typically used for ground cover or cascading from containers.
Yes, cuttings can be taken from healthy stems and rooted in water or soil to create new plants.
This can be due to overwatering or insufficient sunlight. Check soil moisture and ensure the plant receives adequate sun.
The plant may not be receiving enough sunlight. Move to a sunnier location. Regular pruning can also help encourage bushier growth.
Wipe pests off with a damp cloth or use a mild insecticidal soap. Ensure good air circulation.
Ensure the plant has adequate sunlight and is planted in well-draining soil. Avoid over-fertilizing, as rosemary prefers leaner conditions.
Planting: The best time to plant your Rosmarinus Prostratus in the garden is during Spring. Ensure a sunny location with well-draining soil. If planting in a pot, select one with drainage holes.
Sunlight: This plant requires plenty of sunlight at all times to thrive. Aim for at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Watering: Water when the soil feels dry to the touch, maintaining a moist texture but avoiding waterlogging. Due to its drought tolerance, it is better to slightly underwater than overwater.
Indoor/Outdoor: This herb can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors. If grown indoors, ensure it is placed on a sunny windowsill.
Pruning: Light pruning can encourage bushier growth and provide harvests. Remove dead or leggy stems as needed.
Potting: The plant is supplied in a 14cm grower's pot. You may wish to repot it into a larger container or directly into the garden after purchase.
