3. Plant the Cutting
- Fill a small pot with moist, well-draining soil.
- Insert the stem about 5 cm deep into the soil.
- Firm the soil gently around the base.
4. Create a Humid Environment
- Cover the pot with a clear plastic bag or place it under a humidity dome.
- Keep the cutting in a warm, bright area with indirect sunlight.
5. Maintain Moisture
- Mist the cutting daily to maintain humidity.
- Ensure the soil stays lightly moist but not soggy.
6. Monitor Root Growth
- After 2–4 weeks, gently tug the cutting—resistance indicates root formation.
- Once roots are established, remove the plastic cover and gradually acclimate the plant to normal conditions.
🌿 Aftercare & Transplanting
- Transplant rooted cuttings into larger pots or directly into the garden.
- Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil.
- Water sparingly—rosemary prefers dry conditions once established.
💡 Pro Tips
- Propagate in spring or early summer for best results.
- Avoid overwatering, which can lead to rot.
- Use multiple cuttings to increase success rate.
