5 tips for healthy and fragrant rosemary plants, do it!
Do you want your rosemary to grow healthy, robust and very fragrant?
To achieve this result, you just have to follow these 5 simple tips:
- Cleanly cut off any parts of the plant that look rotten or definitely diseased. The best time for this cleansing process is spring.
- It is best to repot the plant every 2-3 years. Move it from a smaller container to a larger one, or from a narrower batch to a wider one.
- Fertilizer is important. Maybe you will use a suitable remedy from March.
- The location is also decisive. Place the plant in a bright place, but don’t let the sun’s rays fall directly on it. Also, put it in a dry and ventilated place.
- Protect it from parasites. It is possible to buy certain products in nurseries, but we recommend that you make them yourself, naturally and cheaply. It seems that the best of all is the one based on Marseille soap. Dissolve 10 to 20 grams in a water bath, then add a liter of water (preferably warm), pour the liquid into a spray bottle and shake. Now all you have to do is spray it on the affected plant in the morning to avoid the hottest hours of the day. The smell of Marseille soap, which is very pleasant for us, is not so pleasant for parasites that stay away and prevent the infestation of your beautiful rosemary.
The Marseille soap we use must be natural and free of perfumes or other chemical substances. At this point, it’s done: With these simple precautions, rosemary will grow beautifully and give you great pleasure.
