FAQs

How often should I water my Rosmarinus officinalis 'Prostratus'?

Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. The frequency will depend on the weather and the growing conditions.

What kind of soil is best?

Use a well-draining, gritty soil mix. Avoid heavy clay soils that retain too much moisture.

How much sunlight does it need?

It needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.

When should I prune my tree?

Prune as needed to maintain shape and remove dead branches. The best time to prune is after flowering.

How do I protect it during winter?

In colder climates, move the tree to a sheltered location or wrap the container to protect it from frost.

Can I plant other things with it?

Yes, consider companion plants that thrive in the same conditions, like low-growing Sedum.

What if the leaves are turning yellow?

Yellowing leaves may indicate overwatering. Check the soil drainage and adjust your watering habits.

Troubleshooting

Yellowing leaves

Check for overwatering or poor drainage. Adjust watering habits and ensure the soil drains well.

Brown tips on leaves

This could be due to underwatering or exposure to harsh conditions. Water more regularly and consider moving the tree to a less exposed location.
