Rosemary is one of the most commonly used herbs in cooking, but it also offers many health benefits and is an ideal ingredient for preparing teas, oils, and tinctures.

Since rosemary is so useful, it’s a great plant to always have at home. What better way than to grow it starting from a cutting? Below we explain how to do it.

Propagating rosemary is very simple, and we can do it starting with a healthy cutting from the plant, some water, and a few easy steps.

Another advantage of rosemary is that it can be propagated through cuttings, which are healthy fragments from the plant.

Here’s how to do it step by step:

1. Cut a 15 cm long sprig of rosemary diagonally and remove the leaves from the lower part.
2. Fill a glass with water and place the sprig in it. Leave it soaking overnight.
3. Put the glass with the plant near a window, in a spot that is not too cold.
4. If during the process you notice the water evaporating, add more water at room temperature.
5. After a week, the first roots should have already formed.
6. When the roots are well developed (about three weeks later), the rosemary is ready to be planted in a pot with soil.
7. Add some fertilizer along with the soil, make a hole in the center, and insert the cutting.
8. During the first week, water every two or three days. Remember that rosemary does not tolerate excessive watering.

Now that you know how to propagate rosemary from a cutting, start right away to have a thriving plant in the shortest time possible.
