<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHow to maintain the rosemary plant so that it lasts a long time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Keeping your herb plant alive for as long as possible depends on how you maintain it. For this, we suggest you apply the following treatments to continue enjoying its aroma,<\/strong> which has nothing to envy the scent of a good lavender or peace lily plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While rosemary tolerates fairly shaded areas, it thrives best in full sun<\/strong> . If you bring it indoors, prefer to place it in a fairly sunny area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wet soil should be avoided for rosemary plants to thrive because although they are very tolerant of most conditions they are exposed to, too wet soil is harmful to them. It is best to favor well-drained, sandy soil.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The rosemary plant prefers a rather calcareous soil which will allow it to resist more and produce small scented leaves. Avoid poorly drained soils such as clay soils which can be fatal for rosemary in the winter season.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The flowering period is favorable for good growth of the plant and is therefore the ideal time to fertilize it regularly. If you want to harvest the best foliage, use liquid fertilizer<\/strong> once a month from April to September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It should be noted right from the start that rosemary does not require a lot of water because it is a particularly drought-resistant plant. <\/strong> You will only need to water the plant if you find that the soil or compost is completely dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is also worth noting that overwatering will be responsible for browning of the green leaf tips. <\/strong> Too much watering will only rot the roots, which will lead to the death of the plant. As soon as you see brown tips, stop watering immediately and allow the soil to dry out completely before resuming watering sparingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As mentioned, rosemary mostly prefers sun. Nothing more surprising for a plant native to the Mediterranean basin where the climate is temperate. But during harsh winters it is another story as it is under these conditions that the plant needs to be further protected and sheltered. While it is true that it resists frost and low temperatures, it cannot resist more if the cold climate is accompanied by humidity and wind. <\/strong> Additionally, potted plants are generally less resistant to these conditions than planted ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, a young plant becomes rustic, that is, resistant to cold, only if it is over 3 years old. Period during which it requires greater protection in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To overwinter them wisely, it is best to keep them in containers indoors. <\/strong> If you prefer to leave them outdoors, be sure to place them in a shaded area to avoid the impact of freezing winds. So feel free to use containers to protect your rosemary plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although the rosemary plant is particularly resistant to insects and other types of parasites, it is essential to maintain it, especially if attacked by caterpillars or leaf beetles. You can then remove the insects by hand and treat the plant with black soap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maintaining your rosemary plant so that it lives longer also means not forgetting an often overlooked criterion, namely the size of its branches. <\/strong> The weakest ones should be trimmed as well as those that have become too loose or too large. It will then be advisable to prune the plant at the level of the lateral stems and to do so preferably during the winter or after flowering.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Having plants at home is a very pleasant thing, especially if they give off scents that inebriate our senses, like rosemary.
