1. Seed propagation:
-Sprinkle rosemary seeds on the wet soil surface in spring or autumn, and then gently compact them.
-Keep the soil moist and wait for germination at a suitable temperature. It usually takes about 10-20 days.
-After the seeds germinate, the watering times can be gradually reduced to keep the soil slightly wet.
-When the seedlings grow to a certain height, they can be transplanted into flowerpots or flower beds.
2. Cutting propagation:
-In spring or autumn, cut stem segments with a length of about 10- 15 cm from healthy rosemary plants.
-Cut off the leaves from the bottom of the stem and leave a few leaves at the top of the stem.
-Insert the stem segments into the wet seedling soil, ensuring the insertion depth is about 1/3.
-It is best to put the seedling pots in a warm environment to bask in the sun.
-Keep the soil moist, but avoid over watering.
-After about 2-4 weeks, the cuttings will begin to take root. When the new leaves begin to grow, it indicates that the cutting is successful.
-When the seedlings grow to a certain height, they can be transplanted into flowerpots or flower beds.
3. ramet propagation:
-Dig out mature rosemary plants in early spring or autumn.
-Clean the root system and divide the plant into several smaller parts with a knife or scissors to ensure that each part has a certain root and stem.
-Dig appropriate planting holes in flowerpots or flower beds, put each ramet into the holes, and gently compact the soil.
-Water the new shoots thoroughly and place them in a sunny place.
-Water the soil every day to keep it moist, but avoid over watering.
-Over time, ramets will grow and expand.
These are three common propagation methods of rosemary plants. Please choose the appropriate method according to your actual situation and enjoy the pleasure of breeding rosemary plants. Remember to give new seedlings proper light, water and nutrients so that they can grow healthily.
