Potted rosemary: if you want it to last more than 10 years, follow this gardener’s advice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rosemary<\/strong> or Rosmarinus officinalis<\/em> is native to the Mediterranean and is an aromatic shrub cultivated mainly for culinary uses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is also used in pharmacology, homeopathy and many other natural therapies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These are things that most people are aware of, however, it must be clear that the growth and longevity of the rosemary plant depends on its conservation<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n On this page, in fact, you can discover how gardeners or gardening experts manage to grow rosemary in pots for up to 10 years<\/strong> and always enjoy its flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To do this, just follow several steps<\/strong> available to everyone. With a little patience and love, even those who are taking their first steps into the world of gardening can do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clearly, the main secret to letting rosemary live for many years in pots<\/strong> is to make it live in an environment very similar to the one in which it lives naturally<\/strong> . In addition, it is necessary to transplant the seedling from pot to pot<\/strong> regularly and with proper care. This will make the root system much more robust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another equally important thing is to choose the right pot in which to grow rosemary<\/strong> . A spacious, well-drained pot should be used. The diameter of the pot should be larger from time to time to give more space to the roots. Drainage holes, on the other hand, are used to prevent water stagnation that can cause the root system to rot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The plant in question should also be rooted every 2 or 3 years<\/strong> to avoid overcrowding of the roots. In this way, healthy growth of the aromatic plant can be ensured. Furthermore , the best time to do it<\/strong> is in spring because it is the period in which the plant activates its growth cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First of all, you should take care of natural fertilizers<\/strong> that can be inserted into the soil to nourish it. The best one to use is definitely compost<\/strong> , and occasionally adding peat moss or perlite<\/strong> can be helpful to facilitate drainage and keep the soil properly moist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ideal time to fertilize the plant<\/strong> is definitely the flowering period. If you want to have a rich plant, you should use a liquid fertilizer from April to September once a month<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n It should not be forgotten that rosemary does not need to be placed in moist soil<\/strong> to thrive, although it tolerates most of the conditions to which it may be exposed very well. However, soil that is too wet damages it irreparably, so you should check the moisture levels in the soil and only water the plant when the first 2 or 3 centimeters of soil appear dry<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the coldest season of the year<\/strong> , on the other hand, it is necessary to place the pot containing the seedling in a protected place or indoors<\/strong> to save the roots from low temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The plant’s<\/strong> preferred soil is limestone. In this soil, the seedling will live longer. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid poorly drained soils such as clay soils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With these small attentions, the plant will be able to live healthy for a long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Potted rosemary: if you want it to last more than 10 years, follow this gardener’s advice!
