Propagating a Rosemary Plant
The plant needs a major cut back anyway!
I then removed the bottom leaves.
Then I placed a bunch in a jar of water with a small opening.
Some people think plants root better in brown glass so I've put some in clear glass and some in brown.
The ones in the clear glass didn't have roots at this stage. A few eventually did but I had much better success with the brown glass.
I am now propagating some Angel Wing Begonia half in dark glass and half in clear. I wonder if the same thing will happen.
When the roots had grown for over a month I transplanted the cuttings into a pot of soil. The pot had drainage holes so the plant could be well watered after its transition.
As I have a large Rosemary plant in the garden I gave this plant away. Hopefully it is happy in its new home.
