I had my rosemary outside in a pot in full sun all summer, sitting on top of a tray with rocks and water in it. I did not water from the top the ENTIRE summer. Once I brought it indoors, since I thought that was how rosemary liked to get it's moisture, ie from the water in the tray evaporating, I kept it in the tray of water on the rocks. But now it's starting to droop at the tips... so I figured maybe I misunderstood and need to water it in the soil. I am grateful I found your video, because now I think I understand why my first attempt to overwinter my rosemary failed (I had watered the first one at the soil, but probably overdid it without realizing) I will try only watering it when the tips bend over like that, since the soil isn't likely to pull away from the sides. None of my potted plants have soil that does that. Thank you for the video, very informative and exactly what I needed
Thank you for tips on watering!😁 Only thing I was told in the past is have finger in the soil 2 inches deep and if tip of the finger is dry...water. I followed this and still killed my plant.😞 This tip is MUCH more helpful! In spring I will try again and I feel more confident now keeping Rosemary going.😁
This video is really helpful. I wondered why my rosemary stopped growing in February. I watered it and no change. Then it looked worse. I see now that I did not need to water it, but leave it alone for a few more days. I did not know what to look for; drooping leaves on top and soil pulling away from the sides of the pot. Thank you so much for this explanation.
I know Im randomly asking but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost my account password. I love any tricks you can offer me
@Ahmed Terrence thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Great video! Thanks! One question: How big should the pot be? Can you leave Rosemary plants in the same pot for years, or will they suffer as a result of restricted root growth?
I live in Massachusetts and this is the first year I planted two rosemary plants in my raised garden beds and it did better than any of the rosemary plants I planted in pots. I want to transplant those plants in pots and acclimate them so that they can survive indoors this winter...hopefully it will be a successful trial.
Tnx for this video.. I just wanna add to your intro that this beautiful plant occupies also the majority of the hills and the Atlas mountains in Morocco.. Regards
Help! My rosemary leaves are mostly brown right now. Does this mean it is dying back for the winter and will green up again once spring arrives, or is it actually dying and will need throwing out? I want to do whatever I need to do to revive this most favorite herb.
I have many Tuscan Blue's planted as hedges in the ground here in Texas, they grow to about four feet in hight and width and put out nice blue flowers quite often. They've been in the ground for years surviving winters in the low teens without issue, I do have them mulched to help. My only problem is few of them did suddenly get a blight and die back almost completely, some killing the plant. I have others planted right next to marginal ones that continue to thrive without issue though, I've never had a mass die off. I try not to water them too much but Texas weather is very unpredictable, especially this past year we've had unheard of rain.
I must he in a micro climate in zone 7. My rosemary has been outside for 4 years straight. I've never brought it in for the winter and it's even had snow and ice on it. It's the 1 plant in the garden that just won't die. It's extremely hardy and grows like crazy.
@@tamarabrown8787 that's why. Rosemary dosent like to have wet roots. It gets root rot to easy. I only water mine in the dog days of summer when we go week's without rain. Otherwise I just let mother nature do her thing and it survives on rain alone. And mines in full sun. Try moving yours someplace out of the rain where it can get lots of light.
Do I trim the roots of my potted rosemary to keep it in the same size pot? I live in Maine so I do bring it in.. Thank you so much for this awesome video..
My nonna has had the same rosemary bush for about 20 years and she lives in upstate NY and planted in the ground. It can most definitely live through winter but you have to know how to protect it.
Question - would I be able to keep a small rosemary plant healthy and happy inside a small, re-purposed tea canister (about 7" deep but only 3" in diameter)? Asking for a Tuscan blue cutting. :)
I planted mine in my herb garden outside in May. It’s now the middle of Oct. & it’s supposed to frost in the morning. Should I cut it off & dry it? Back in the eighties next week. 🤷♀️
Help OK mine is one spray single and one individual rosemary plant which now on reflection thinking that was a dumb idea I bought another one that has multiple stocks on it it’s sitting right next to it outside of my frosting and that one’s doing great I think I should probably take it out of this tiny pot and give it a chance in a bigger pot trim the dead part I don’t know if I should let it dry out or if I should water it?
I have a rosemary bush outside growing very close (almost touching) to a 2m high sweet bay very bushy tree. Despite being so close it is the healthiest rosemary bush in my garden.
My rosemary is dying off in summer we are in bulgaria it is far too hot, and not much rain to have fresh air It has good drainage etc but still not doing well. Its 2 year old plant. During winter will bring it at home inside. Not sure what to do , i am stressed and rosemary too. Also had to cut bad bits and left not too much of it, still got leafs on it, but it seems to continue goimg bad, but i checked for green and it has green sonot dead completely Can you please tell me what to do?!!! Would be kind of you
My Rosemary’s are planted in the ground and they are getting like 4 to 5 ft high. It get cold here in nwflorida up to 25 degrees on winter. I was surprise that my rosemarys handle the cold.
If you can bring it inside and put it in a sunny windowsill it could have a whole new life. I've done that with 2 of my rosemary plants this winter in New York City. They are thriving.
Your rosemary loves that hot sunny dry environment - look them up as there are many many varieties (some very beautiful flowers and varieties too) although some people say they live about 10-11 years and some say 20-30years plus.
As you said in last if its pull down.. soak it right away... What does that mean.. I have bought one it's pulling down n farmers said it's not growing since last 6 months.. Plz guide me how can I grow it properly
Wish me luck I just purchase two Rosemary for tons time for some reason they die on me is the only herb that I have problem with it maybe the heat of Arizona or over water ,
I just bought a rosemary and I transplanted it into its new permanent home. It was going week the first few days; it looked perky and happy, but just today it looked wilted and dried out at the tips and bent over. It was over 100 degrees F today. I don’t know what to do to make it better. When transplanting it I cut some of the roots that wrapped around the plant. I think that was a big mistake. What can I do to help my plant? I wish I could attach a picture for comparison.
I bought rosemary in a local store for $3.99 and it's almost dying! :( All green are gone, all turned to brown and dry, maybe too much of water? I'm in northern California
I suggest one should pull apart the root system to expose The root to oxygen and dirt.before planting.First step should be filling the hole with water& watching how long it takes the soil to absorb the water.thats a huge determine towards watering .,As we all have our ways of gardening, I'm giving my take.Peace & Love to ALL.
There are hardy rosemaries. They should have well draining soil, balanced Loam Topsoil is best. If there isn’t good drainage around and underneath the roots it will die. Look up Rosemary as there are many many beautiful varieties, many that are hardy and many that are Very hardy, it only needs very little compost/fertiliser once or a few times in warm summer season. rosemaries.co.uk I would highly recommend

I had rosemary beetles last year in abundance. Now much of the shrub is brown an dying. Brenda in York.

I like how you explained the technicalities , as opposed to the usual 'water when dry'...
Thank you so much for this video. Really helpful!
Mine has grown so large that it’s taking over my garden! It lasted through three winters already!
time for rosemary fries!

The coldest it gets here, in Florida, is in the mid 30's. Would I still need to bring it in?

Lovely detailed growing guide!
Rosemary is winter hardy in z7, yes? I'd like to do Herb shrubs in containers. Rosemary is a goid one. What's another: lemon balm? Oregano?
Great video. If my plant looks all dry, middle of the winter, is there any chance it could revive? I am in Canada.
If you can bring it inside and put it in a sunny windowsill it could have a whole new life. I've done that with 2 of my rosemary plants this winter in New York City. They are thriving.
It grows like a weed year round, outdoors here in Nevada!

Give it plenty if water
Hi, can you show how you water the plant?
8-10 it's said to live fine through the winter.
can rosemary in pot be growed outside in canada during winter?
Hell no
i am located in the philippines. does a rosemary grow in peat moss or coco peat?
Absolutely No!
Thank you!
My rosemary survives winter, dont know what type it is though.
