What many don’t know is that you can easily propagate rosemary from just a cutting, giving you a new and flourishing plant. If you’re keen on trying this method rather than purchasing a rosemary plant, you’re in the right place.
Materials Needed:

- The next morning, remove all the leaves.
- Water Propagation:
- Pour water into a glass container and place the rosemary cutting in it.
- Position the container near a window, protected from cold drafts.
- As water evaporates during growth, gradually add room temperature water.
- Germination:
- After about a week, you’ll notice the first shoots emerging from the cutting.
- Around three weeks in, the first roots will appear, indicating it’s time to plant the rosemary in soil.
- Planting in Soil:
- Choose a pot with a depth of 15 centimeters, fill it with potting soil and compost.
- Make a hole in the center and insert the rosemary cutting.
- Water every 2 or 3 days.
