Rosemary is a fragrant plant. Its leaves and flowers emit a relatively strong fragrance. If you touch its branches and leaves with your hands, it will be left on your hands. Because of its aroma, I planted a pot on the balcony and placed it at home so that mosquitoes and insects would not dare to come near.
At the same time, rosemary is also a cooking plant, just like our green onions and coriander. It can be used for barbecue, roast beef and mutton, and can also be made into spices, etc., and it can also produce light flavor. The fresh purple flowers are very special and beautiful.
Many friends like rosemary very much, but don’t know how to grow it well. Sometimes I buy a pot of rosemary. When I first got it back, it was very lush and seemed to be in good condition. But after a period of time, the leaves will start to turn yellow and fall off. I don’t know which link is the problem, but they are obviously maintained very carefully.
To raise a rosemary potted plant well, you need to master some maintenance details and techniques. In fact, once you master it, you will find it very easy to raise. It will grow more vigorously every year, and it can even grow from a small seedling to a full-grown rosemary plant. It is a small tree that can grow to more than half a meter tall. Its branches and leaves are very strong. If you want to eat the leaves, you will never be able to finish them all.
In fact, one of the tips for growing rosemary well is watering
If the rosemary at home is not grown well, or does not grow well, or suddenly begins to bloom in large quantities, If the leaves are falling off or the leaves are in poor condition, it must be a watering problem.
Especially for rosemary grown indoors, the ventilation effect is not good, and it has just begun to adapt to the growing environment at home and the new pot soil, and its root system is not developed enough.
At this time, rosemary potted plants grown indoors or on a closed balcony do not need to be watered too much. If the pot soil is not dry, do not water it. Wait until the pot soil dries out quickly before watering again. , after watering, place it in a well-ventilated place.
Secondly, during the growth period, in spring, summer and autumn, you can water more appropriately and less water when the temperature is low in winter. In fact, you don’t have to be so concerned about raising rosemary. Mind you, wait until the potting soil dries out a little before watering.
Then grow it in a sunny place with a window. It is not afraid of the sun. It needs more wind and sunlight, and less water. Even if the leaves are dry and wilted, they will recover as soon as you water them. Its vitality is still very strong, not so delicate.
Secondly, when growing rosemary, if possible, it is best to grow it in the open. That is to say, do not keep it indoors all the time, don’t keep it in the room or living room, that’s fine. It can survive, but it will definitely not grow well enough and the branches and leaves will not be strong enough.
So we need to move it out as soon as possible to raise it. In fact, it is not as delicate as we thought. In summer, it can be raised directly outdoors without worrying about shading. It is not afraid of the sun or rain. In winter, as long as the outdoor temperature is The temperature is not lower than zero, nor does it freeze, so it can be kept outdoors all year round.
Remember to add some fertilizer in the spring and add some nutrients and fertilizers. It will grow very fast and well. You can also prune it. If you want to eat the leaves, just pick them. If you keep one plant, you probably won't be able to finish it all. You can also replace it with a larger flower pot so that it can grow into a bigger tree.
