How to Propagate Rosemary Plants

You don’t always have to pick a small pot and grow rosemary like you grow other herbs. How about going a little creative and cultivating it in different forms? We’ll help you out.

In yoni steaming, you sit over a bowl of hot water with herbs to tighten the muscles down there. Mugwort, Rosemary, Lavender, Calendula, and Basil are good herbs for this. But, doctors say there's no strong research proving it works and it might not be safe. It's important not to steam for too long or with water that's too hot. Remember, the vagina cleans itself and just needs warm water and some natural oil for care.

If you want cool plants for your home, try these unique trailing ones! Like Trailing Begonia with pretty leaves, Trailing Jade for hanging pots, Trailing Rosemary for fragrant greenery, and Trailing Peperomia with nice patterns. Also, check out Trailing African Violet, Trailing Ferns, Trailing Spider Plant, and Trailing Calathea. Read more about each one below.

If you want your houseplants to look big and lush, pruning and regrowing them in the same pot is a smart idea! Plants like Pothos, Spider Plant, Philodendron, Snake Plant, ZZ Plant, English Ivy, Wandering Dude, Sedum, Herbs, String of Pearls, and String of Bananas can be easily grown from cuttings. Just cut a healthy stem or take baby plants, remove lower leaves, and plant them in the same pot as the parent plant for a fuller look. That's it.

Succulents that look like rosemary are easy to care for and great for those who want a herb substitute. Blue Chalksticks and Blue Straws have leaves like needles, similar to rosemary. Stonecrop is a good choice, but not as tall, and Gold Moss Sedum is a fast-growing miniature version of rosemary. Watch Chain Plant and Miniature Pine Tree also resemble rosemary, and Bush Senecio is a low-maintenance option with similar leaves.

I read recently that ancient Greece–inspired and Mediterranean décor was the next big thing in interior design. Perhaps many of you will feel inspired to add a marble bust to your fireplace mantle. But what about Mediterranean plants? In the Southeast, plants that prefer a Mediterranean climate are not always at home. Humidity and wet winters—not just the cold—are normally the downfall of these plants. But there are some Mediterranean staples that we can grow very well in our region. They are not always extremely long-lived but can be enjoyed in the garden while they last.

Lizards are helpful as they eat insects and pests. However, sometimes, they become unwelcome guests in homes and gardens, especially if there are too many. And if you’re looking for a natural way to keep them at bay, try these plants that keep lizards away.

After a couple of years living in the wasteland that was my allotment, my lavender plant has gone a little wayward and woody. The rosemary is the same way, really. They should have had an annual chop after flowering, to keep them nice and fresh. It’s possible that some serious remedial pruning later in the summer will shock them into more appropriate behaviour – but it’s not guaranteed. The garden wouldn’t be the same without rosemary and lavender (their flowers and their scents, their lovely flavours), but they’re easy plants to replace if they get out of control. (There’s nothing inherently wrong with a big, bushy lavender or rosemary, I just don’t have the space to let them grow.)

Over the weekend I got involved in a project that Sustainable Didcot (one of the local Community Action Groups) is putting together under the banner ‘Incredible Edible Didcot‘. The aim of the Incredible Edible movement is to encourage edible planting in public/communal areas, so that local people have access to food they can pick, but also so that people can come together with a sense of community. Sustainable Didcot have a community allotment, with a polytunnel, on the site where I used to have my allotment (our tenures didn’t coincide!), but this will be their first public planting.

Ryan and I have (finally!) moved into our new house! And, whilst we had the use of a van, we collected all of the tall plants from the allotment. So the first refugees from my old garden have arrived in their new home. As well as my Christmas tree, there’s two cobnuts, a crab apple, a golden bamboo, a rosemary and a lavender, the medlar and one that remains unidentified until I can have a good look at it.

Just over 3 weeks ago, I started the AeroGarden on its latest mission – rooting herb cuttings. Unsurprisingly, the mint was the first plant to take root, which it did in under a week.

At the beginning of the month I was helping to survey some planters in the centre of Didcot that Incredible Edible Didcot (a group within Sustainable Didcot) had been given permission to plant with edible herbs as their first Incredible Edible community planting project.

Last Sunday, Nigel Slater published two ‘pie’ recipes in the Guardian. Neither is a pie in the ‘topped with pastry’ sense, but we’ll allow him some latitude.

Even if you’re short of space, you can grow herbs in pots and get a sufficient harvest. Most cooking herbs like parsley, thyme, oregano, cilantro, mint, sage, rosemary, marjoram, chives, and fennel are easier to grow than other edible plants.

Herbs such as basil, oregano, chives and rosemary are easy to grow at home, providing you with fresh, tasty leaves to use in soups, stews, casseroles and salads, as well as desserts and cocktails.
