How to Grow Rosemary From Cuttings | Rooting Hardwood Rosemary Cuttings : Herb Propagation

It's time to learn how to grow hardwood rosemary cuttings and I'm going to show you the rooting process that I like to use, in potting soil. Like willow, rosemary is very easy to propagate from cuttings and will usually grow roots within a few weeks. It doesn't take much plant material to root so you can literally have a forest of these plants from just one plant in a short amount of time. So let's create our own herb garden and we'll start with rosemary!

Years ago I lived in an apartment and put a rosemary shrub in the ground, I had a cat that loved it! She would rub up against it many times a day. I think she discovered it helped keep fleas and other bugs away. I love that she smelled like it when she came in the house.

[@MikeKincaid79]

That's a good idea. Maybe I should break off a branch and rub it all over my dog, lol.

Hi Mike, why not take 4 of the potted-up rosemary cuttings and put them under a large dome out in the hoop house, so Henry can serenade them? Some 'experts' say that plants like to be talked/sung to, and Henry has a wonderful voice. It would be a great experiment to see which plants do better in the long run, the plants left inside or the hoop house ones. Since you mentioned earlier in the video that you only want/need 4 plants in total. I love your experiments! ~Margie

I finally bought my first 2 Rhoddies! I'm so excited! I have a lot of yellow and blue/purple flowers in my garden so I chose the Lemon Lights Rhododendrons. I've yet to plant them because I'm unsure where to plant them in my garden. Since I knew you were the Rhoddy man to go to I thought I'd ask you if they need part sun/shade or full shade or sun... Where do they grow and bloom the best for you? Feeding and pruning is my next question! Thanks in advance, Mike. So excited!

[@MikeKincaid79]

That's really great! If you take care of them, they'll bloom beautifully every year. Rhododendrons do their best in about 50/50 shade/sun. A little more or less of either won't make or break them but the best time for them to get sun is in the morning, with afternoon shade. I use a slow release fertilizer that's formulated for rhododendrons. You can find it at the big box stores. They like lots of organic matter in the soil so it's a good idea to mix in some compost, leaves, etc, before planting. Have fun!

Mike, serious question. Where did Jonny go??

[@MikeKincaid79]

LOL, he went down the road to an older guy. He started trying to attack my wife and I couldn't have that.

Greetings from rural Southeast Asia... I was lucky to get my hands on a rosemary plant at the market a few days ago - a bit leggy, but lots of branches. I followed your video here, but now I'm a bit lost: I live in an area that you probably classify as zone 11b or 12. So my question: Put my cuttings outside or under grow lights (I have the red and blue mix, I have 2 LED bulbs with 6500K/820lm, and I have 2 LED strips 380-800nm, 4 setting from 25% to 100%). Lost for choice, please help!

[@MikeKincaid79]

I'd put them outside in a shady location where the sun doesn't ever directly hit them.

[@ursibeutler]

@@MikeKincaid79 Thanks, I'll do that.

Hello Mike and all from France. Is it possible to root thyme with the same method right now in April ?

[@MikeKincaid79]

You can use the division technique right now and softwood cuttings later in the spring.

[@apolline2519]

@@MikeKincaid79 OK ! Thanks for your answer !

[@theoverworkedgardener5648]

Very cool video but when are you going to take some time to grow some thyme?

[@MikeKincaid79]

LOL, I think I need to start an herb garden.

[@root123]

Would this work without rooting hormone?

[@MikeKincaid79]

Most certainly

[@sbilalx]

I wanted to ask how many days does a jasmine cutting take to root and do we need to get a hardwood cutting or softwood is fine.

[@MikeKincaid79]

I really need to get some jasmine to make some videos with. What a beautiful plant!

[@sbilalx]

@@MikeKincaid79 It is a beautiful plant indeed

[@sDavid-ch5pd]

What was your light schedule?

[@MikeKincaid79]

16 hours on and 8 hours off. I've done 14 and 10 with good results.

[@hitta200m3]

I keep failing with a plastic dome they rot on me I use sand any suggestions?

[@MikeKincaid79]

Get rid of the dome when rooting hardwood cuttings of rosemary. You probably don't need it.

[@martell203]

Can you do it in water?

[@MikeKincaid79]

Yes

[@mosesmaragh1864]

😮

[@greghogan2000]

Give us the link to Henry's channel.

[@MikeKincaid79]

LOL, he pretty much stole this one!

[@NN-fz4pd]

What music was that I like it

[@MikeKincaid79]

Just different music I've found for videos along the way.

[@jeannemariebooth1121]

Where can I buy these cups online, Mke?

[@MikeKincaid79]

They are just standard dixie cups that I get at WalMart.
