How to cultivate Rosemary

Hi guys, Rosemary is an amazing herb, I use it in seasonings especially baking and herbal teas. So here's the conditions for this plant to grow. Try growing these plants and let me know how it goes.

Soil: Plant rosemary in well-drained, loamy soil that is between a pH of six and seven.

Sun: Rosemary needs six to eight hours of sunlight each day. When planting rosemary indoors, be sure that its sunlight needs are met. 

Water: Similar to hardy sage, rosemary is relatively drought-tolerant. Let the soil dry out between each watering; rosemary does its best when the soil is not overly moist.

Spacing: Rosemary can grow into a thick, large, hedge-like plant, making it necessary to space each plant up to three-feet apart .

Propagation: Clip a three-inch cutting from the very tip of a stem, remove the leaves one inch from the base, apply rooting hormone on the exposed portion of the stem, and plant it in a rooting mixture that includes both peat moss and vermiculite. Roots will emerge within three to four weeks. Transfer to a small (four-inch) pot, let the root ball form, and then transfer to a larger pot or directly to your garden.
