How to grow your own rosemary

Ask for a cutting from a friend’s plant to grow this shrubby herb. - by Better Homes and Gardens

How to grow your own rosemary

Here’s how

STEP 1 Snip 15-20cm from the top of a vigorous shoot using sharp, clean secateurs.

STEP 2 Strip the lower leaves, then dip the cut end into root-promoting hormone gel or powder.

STEP 3 Fill a small pot with seed-raising or sieved potting mix. Insert the cutting to just below the leaves. Firm in.

STEP 4 Gently water and put in a warm, bright spot. Keep moist and, when roots form in about six weeks, carefully transplant into the garden or a larger pot.
