Cultivation methods

Flower pots

Rosemary is a kind of vanilla and likes a cool and dry environment. Flower pots are very important for its growth. Unglazed tile basins are the most breathable and should be considered. As for the size of the flower pot, one with a diameter of about 20 cm is sufficient. If it is too large, it is difficult to control the amount of watering. In addition, rosemary grows slowly and does not require much growing space.

Soil

As for soil, ordinary garden soil is enough. Add a small amount of fertilizer to the soil before planting.

Fertilizing

It is enough to fertilize two or three times a year. Use decomposed organic fertilizer and put it in the soil around the edge of the flower pot. It’s okay to apply thin fertilizer frequently, and you don’t need too much fertilizer at one time. Specifically, fertilize appropriately according to the growth of the plant.

Water

When it comes to watering, you need to water more in summer. Generally, when the temperature is high in summer, don’t water at noon, but once in the morning and evening. In other seasons, it is generally watered once a week. During the maintenance period, water according to the condition of the pot soil. If it is dry and white, watering is needed.

Temperature

Rosemary is a relatively cold-tolerant plant. It can be placed on a semi-enclosed balcony to survive the winter. There is no problem at around -5℃. Therefore, there is no need to take measures to keep warm in winter and still avoid freezing to death. But the winter temperature in your area is below -10℃, so it is recommended to move indoors! The temperature is high in summer, and ventilation and cooling should be carried out in time to promote its growth.

Notes

Don’t pour too much water

In fact, flower lovers water according to their experience. Flower lovers who grow rosemary for the first time need to pay attention to the high temperature in summer. Although they need to water more, they should not pour too much water. Plants wilt easily and their growth slows down. In addition, perennial plants may also suffer from this kind of situation if they are not watered properly.

Do not use chemical fertilizers

After rosemary blooms, you need to apply a sufficient amount of fertilizer to promote long-lasting flowering, but it is best not to use chemical fertilizers to avoid burning the seedlings. When planting at home, you can also pour a little fermented rice water.
