An intense perfume, with woody notes, inebriating and full-bodied: the leaves of Rosemary<\/strong> make this perhaps the most appreciated aromatic plant and, after basil, the most cultivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to its resistance: since it is an evergreen <\/strong>plant<\/strong> and not too complex to grow, rosemary is often grown as an ornamental plant for balconies or gardens, as well as for the usefulness of its aromatic leaves<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n But did you know that you can combine pruning<\/strong> and multiplication<\/strong> ? Let’s find out together how to reuse the cut twigs to obtain other small plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First of all we must point out that the best period for pruning this plant is the beginning of spring<\/strong> when the cutting of the twigs is compensated by faster and denser regrowth <\/strong> thanks to the rising temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, nothing prevents you from pruning this plant even at the end of summer<\/strong> or beginning of autumn<\/strong> if necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Understanding when to prune rosemary is important to avoid making mistakes that can seriously compromise the health of the plant<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Usually, this operation is necessary when the plant has twigs that are too long<\/strong> , woody<\/strong> and a little bare<\/strong> , sometimes even dry<\/strong> . Furthermore, it may happen that these branches destabilize the balance of the plant<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before starting, we recommend that you get some garden <\/strong>shears<\/strong> or scissors and clean them carefully to avoid future infections of the plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The plant must be pruned in order to obtain an overall bushy<\/strong> appearance , quite symmetrical<\/strong> and not too dispersive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To understand where to cut, consider that you should never exceed 4-5 cm from the tip <\/strong> of the branch, a maximum of 6-7 cm for very long ones. Eliminate the woodiest<\/strong> and oldest branches <\/strong>but<\/strong> also those within the foliage that create crossings<\/strong> . Furthermore, always try to make an oblique cut<\/strong> that promotes healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Never remove more than a third of your entire hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Oh I forgot!

I am waiting for you!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that you have pruned your rosemary, before doing a good cleaning of the cut sprigs, you can proceed to recover some of them and use them to multiply the plant<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not all freshly cut sprigs are the same. Surely, during pruning, you will have cut some longer and not too dry branches. You should choose one that still has some leaves<\/strong> , especially at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Choose these twigs and, if they have too many leaves, remove<\/strong> those that are too close to the base <\/strong> of the twig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After having recovered the twigs that correspond to the cuttings<\/strong> , it is time to bury them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prepare small pots by filling them with a mixture of sand, universal soil and peat, keeping everything very soft by watering<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bury the cuttings in, inserting the lower part into the ground <\/strong> for a centimeter, at most two, and keeping the twigs in a vertical position<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, place the jars in well-lit spots, preferably in direct sunlight, and where temperatures are constantly above 15\u00b0C<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n After a few weeks, with a bit of luck, roots may emerge from these cuttings<\/strong> and you will have obtained new fragrant rosemary plants… at no cost and with only a minimum of effort!<\/p>\n\n\n\n NB: remember that you can also use the sprigs of your rosemary in other ways, for example by placing the leaves in a saucepan to infuse and thus obtaining a scented mixture<\/strong> suitable for perfuming your entire home or creating highly scented soaps<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n Less effective, but simpler is to root the rosemary cutting in water<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this case, after cutting the branch, wait at least 24 hours <\/strong> so that the cut can heal. Then, put it in a glass of water,<\/strong> taking care that only the lower part ( about 2-3 cm<\/strong> ) is below the water level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After a few weeks, roots<\/strong> should have emerged from the base of the cutting : the time has come to transfer the sprig into a real pot<\/strong> .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An intense perfume, with woody notes, inebriating and full-bodied: the leaves of Rosemary make this perhaps the most appreciated aromatic plant and, after basil, the most cultivated.
