Rosemary Planting Methods and Care Tips

When planting rosemary, it is best to choose overcast days, rainy days, and times when the sunlight is not strong in the early morning or late afternoon. After planting, water thoroughly to settle the roots, and do not let the seedlings topple over while watering. During the seedling stage, apply a small amount of compound fertilizer after cultivating and weeding, and cover the fertilizer with soil after application. Three months after the plants are established, they can be pruned, but each pruning should not exceed half the length of the branch.

1. Transplanting

For transplanting rosemary, it is best to choose overcast days, rainy days, and times when the sunlight is not strong in the early morning or late afternoon. On the leveled land, first dig holes according to the plant and row spacing, apply a small amount of base fertilizer, then cover the base fertilizer with a thin layer of soil, and then transplanting can begin. After transplanting, water thoroughly to settle the roots, and do not let the seedlings topple over while watering.

2. Fertilizing

Rosemary is relatively tolerant of poor soil. During the seedling stage, depending on different soil conditions, apply a small amount of compound fertilizer after cultivating and weeding, and cover the fertilizer with soil after application. After each harvest, apply a quick-acting fertilizer once, mainly nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers.

3. Pruning

Three months after rosemary is established, it can be pruned, but each pruning should not exceed half the length of the branch. Rosemary can be harvested for many years after one planting, and the harvest is mainly branches and leaves, which can be cut with scissors or mainly picked by hand.
