How to Grow Rosemary in a Pot 

Kayla Bear that is GOOD INFO!!! I’m going to try that. I got bitten so much this summer and fall in Fla...UGH!!

Never heard of that, gonna give it a try this year!

Wow, thank you so much for posting that! Never would've thought!

Used coconut oil to put on my legs after shaving and i noticed the same thing!

Awww, man...coconut oil makes my skin itch! I read that some have that issue with it. I NEED a good natural mosquito repellent...they are eating me alive!

TheEmptynester planting Seeds of Hope agree with you...I will have to grow this season!

It really does work, I have rosemary oil i use for that purpose.

If you mean conventional lotions and oils i'd say not really. I have gone outside after applying ordinary lotion and gotten eaten up near to West Nile with mosquitoes. But I would say lots of natural oils and lotions have the same effect on mosquitoes. :)

Yes neem is awesome. I used a neem oil spray on my tomato plants a couple years back when they were getting spider mites.

@@CherokeeBear howd you make the oil

roravenclaw mine does the same thing!! Every single time. Did you ever figure out the problem? I just replanted mine in a bigger pot before I watched this video.. fingers crossed lol

@@TheAshberry3 hows your rosemary doing now?

@@TheAshberry3 I wasn't trimming it the way he said to. And I didn't wait until the branches drooped to water like he said to.

@Maxwell Smart ROFL!!

I get that. You probably are, if we could read plant vibrations. With that said, maybe it doesn't hurt so much as shock the plant a little.

It's not silly I feel da sameee

I think of trimming my plants as hair cuts, it helps me LOL

SAAAME 😅

Durray Nayab I have the same problem! Every video I saw says “full sun”, but mine kept getting sort of burned-dry look. I already killed 3 and the next time I am going to try shaded area without full sun.

They like space, so use a fairly big pot.

Same here, my plant looks extra crispy

Guadalupe drooping leaves on a Rosemary bush can only mean not enough water. Stick your finger two inches in the soil and if dry it needs watering. If your roots are rotting it will not droop but simple die. If you believe the roots are rotting you can simple re-pot. 1. Remove plant and shake off all soil. 2. Trim any rotting roots and 3. re-pot with fresh potting soil. (Make sure pot has plenty of holes and drains well.)

Ernest Bigot -Thank you for advise and for making this video.

Anais. First of all you should not be using common soil. potted plants should have potting soil which contains peat, composted bark, and perlite. Peat and composted bark are important nutrients and perlite is important to keep the soil from becoming compacted. All of these degrade over time and can only be properly replaced by replacing the soil. Another important reason for re-potting is to create more room for the roots to grow. that can be accomplished by using a bigger pot or simply shaking all soil from the roots and trimming those roots back by about half. By trimming you get rid of any rotting roots and you force the plant into a grow cycle. I actually do this with all potted plants when they start looking unhealthy, usually every one or two years. There are many Re-potting videos on youtube to show the step by step process.

Paris is in growing zone 8b. Growing zones, or plant hardiness zones are the standards by which gardeners can determine which plants are most likely to thrive at that location.

From what i read anything below 15 f could kill it. But people grow it in their herb gardens here in New York and it gets below zero some winters. So if the temps go below 15 f bring some of the plants inside.

There are many different types of rosemary to choice from.

Definitely, even after you wash your hands you can still smell it.

some stores sell small plants in the fresh food section for herbs for cooking

Amazon you can buy seeds

Hard to get the seeds to germinate, better to get a starter plant from a greenhouse.
