Rosemary can be propagated and cultivated by cuttings, usually from March to April in spring or September to October in autumn. For cuttings, it is recommended to use semi-lignified 5-6 cm branches, which should be pruned, cleaned, and disinfected before being inserted into soil with sufficient nutrients. After planting, water it thoroughly and let it receive nourishment from scattered light in a semi-shaded and ventilated environment. 1. Cutting time
Rosemary is cultivated and propagated by cuttings, and the time points are generally chosen in spring and autumn. From March to April in spring and from September to October in autumn, the temperature and humidity are more reasonable. Rosemary has stronger rooting ability, faster development speed, and more beautiful subsequent growth patterns. 2. Selection of cuttings
It is recommended to use semi-lignified branches for rosemary cuttings, which will make it easier to produce roots. There should be no signs of damage or damage from pests or diseases on the cuttings. The length of the cuttings can be controlled to about 5 to 6 centimeters, and try to leave 2 to 3 bud points on the cuttings. 3. Insert into the soil
Prune, clean and disinfect the rosemary cuttings before cutting, and then place the cuttings in a medium with loose, breathable soil and sufficient nutrients. The cutting depth should be one-third or two-thirds of the branches and spikes. Inserting the cuttings too deeply into the soil will affect their ability to take root. 4. Post-cutting maintenance
After successfully cutting the rosemary in the pot, it is recommended to water it thoroughly once so that the rosemary cuttings can quickly adapt to the soil. Receive sufficient warm scattered light in a semi-shaded and ventilated environment to avoid direct exposure to strong light, which will cause the rosemary cuttings to lose their growth activity.
