Re: RE: rooting rosemary [ut-oh, plant talk]

the only way i have successfully rooted rosemary indoors is in water--water that has come through my reverse osmosis system so it is reasonably free of chlorine and/or fluorine. and i've had many, many successes with rosemary that way. planted a hedge once of plants that had been initially rooted in water.

and, all this talk about rosemary makes me want to start a few more cuttings. maybe i'll concentrate on the prostrate one. it's blooming now.

I just used a mixure of potting soil and course sand, dipped the tips I
snipped off of the mother plant, and stuck them in a pot.  Tried to keep
them watered regularly at first- less so as it became obvious they had roots
(since the others had croaked and these hadn't).  I guess, just lucky.  I
definitely think doing this outside is a better idea than inside.

Theresa - how did you root them?  I've tried and failed miserably. How and
what did you use for your rooting medium?  I'm all ears!

thanks -
