How to Propagate Rosemary from Cuttings using Two SIMPLE Methods!

Published 2020-08-15
Rosemary is a wonderful plant to grow in the garden and you may want to try growing more of it for yourself! One of the best ways you can grow more rosemary is through cuttings. Rosemary will root very easily with two very simple methods: in water and in soil. I prefer rooting rosemary in soil in pots as opposed to water but both methods can be very successful. In this video I explain how to take cuttings of rosemary and get them to root in water or soil. I also mention the proper growing conditions for your rosemary plant to grow.

Thanks for watching and let me know if you have any questions about growing rosemary from cuttings in the comments!

    I am so excited to tell you that I successfully rooted my rosemary cuttings with the help of this video!!! I didn’t use any rooting hormone. I had more than 2 dozen cuttings that took and I have given away almost all of them as summer presents. Next I want to try propagating crape myrtles. Very beautiful trees! Thank you! I look forward to more videos!

    I started gardening and planting vegs and herbs back in 2014, and ! single rosemary plant was my very first plant I had in my garden. this is 2023. my rosemary has grown to be around 3 feet tall and about 3 to 4 foot in girth. It makes me smile so much every week when I use some of it.
  • Thank you! My friend gave me a big branch of rosemary from her garden today, and I thought why just cook it, let's make me a rosemary bush 😊 now I know how 😁

    I’ve had my rosemary cuttings in water for 2 days incorrectly. I didn’t pull the leaves off of the bottom portion lol. Going to re-do it tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

    Thank you so much, I am in awe as you make it look so easy. I will definitely try this 😊
  • @lsteiner
    Thanks, I learned that I was taking the cuttings incorrectly! I was cutting little side branches near the bottom, instead of off the main vertical ones. Now that I know, I will go back and cut some from the main vertical branches, so that they SPLIT IN TWO, and make a bigger plant! Cheers!
