so i do similar with tomatoes and sweet potato slips but i use a small sponge fish filter (look for filters for beta fish) hook a splinter to the pump and run a bunch of jars. looks like a mad scientist lab and to keep down on the algae i use food coloring. different color for each jar, if you got kids they love it and it gets them more interested.

Wow! I've watched a lot videos and have talked to a lot of gardeners, but this is best and easiest to learn tutorial that I have seen. Thanks very much for your time in doing this how-to. My father was a great gardener, he could grow anything. But, he never took the time to propagate Rosemary. It was the only herb he never did. He would just buy or be given one from another Italian gardener friends every spring. He could graft and do all kinds of stuff. He was born here in the U.S., but raised on his grandparent's farm in the 1920's and 30's in Italy. That is the only thing that I can think of that he never taught me. Thanks again for the lesson! Take care Jeff!

[@TheRipeTomatoFarms]

Same with me and Thyme John.....just never grows good from seed...sigh.

[@FrozEnbyWolf150]

When it comes to herb seeds, try sprinkling them on the surface and covering them with wet single ply tissue paper. Since the seeds are so tiny, they don't need to be buried. Keep it wet and avoid letting the paper dry out, and the seeds should germinate within a week. The plants will still take a very long time to grow to maturity, so you need to be patient.

Great video! I think that you are elucidating many of the mysterious techniques for plant prop by cuttings. For herbaceous plants, it is the easiest, but rosemary has a woody stem which requires additional steps.

Changing the water might involve keeping a bit of oxygen in the water and also allowing plant hormones from the cutting to remain in the water. I change half of the water every 3-4 days.

I tried many different ways and turned to have the leaves dried (brown) very quickly, even when I put them in the water to grow the roots. I put roots in the soil with rocks and sand for drainage; I put them under the sun (4 hours) or totally on the shades or full sun, the same varieties of trying I did with watering. I tried many different ways to cultivate It, but no luck so far. I really want this plant, so I'll not give up. Do you have some idea what could be the problem? I really appreciate your answer or if anybody here has the same experience, please feel free to share.

Notting survives in our MN winter so I have to buy one and start that

Dang haydeh, what's the lowest it gets?

2:30 I use this method of just taking small 2in / 5cm young cuttings, and stick them in soil where I have other things growing - it's not a 100% success rate, but with how simple and easy it is to do, it's good enough to make a ton of plants. I usually just take rosemary cuttings in spring and put them directly in the same soil around tomatoes or other plants I grow for summer, then in the end once those summer plants are done, I end up with whatever rosemary plants survived, and I can relocate them were and when needed.

Do you fertilize them, as they're growing? If so, what is a good fertilizer and how often?

[@orlafarrell395]
