Here are five strategies to maintain consistently robust and fragrant rosemary:
- Trim: Regularly prune any damaged parts of the plant, particularly during spring to encourage healthy growth.
- Repot: Every two to three years, consider repotting your rosemary to ensure adequate development and space for growth.
- Fertilize: Support the plant’s growth by fertilizing it, starting in March alongside springtime and pruning.
- Protect from Heat: Shield your rosemary from excessive heat by placing it in a dry, well-ventilated area with indirect sunlight.
- Pest Protection: Safeguard your plant from pests and diseases by applying periodic treatments, either from store-bought pesticides or homemade solutions like Marseille soap dissolved in water and sprayed lightly on the plant.
Implementing these straightforward tips will yield a flourishing and robust rosemary plant, perfect for both decorative purposes and culinary delights.
