Cloning Rosemary? - Page 2 - General Gardening - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

**exploziv** · 01-18-2016, 08:45 PM

any root stimulant for woody stems plants will do. but it's easier to root the young tips that are not woody yet. root stimulants for erbaceous plants like cannabis will not help, tho.
since it takes a lot for roots to show, I recommend using willow water in the cloning cup. it will help keep the slime and bacteria off the stem of the cuts before roots emerge. will also help by shorting the time it takes till you see roots.

my rosemary plant had a branch lean over into another container and
it rooted up in no time

as for the OPs Q, rosemary roots pretty easily as posted above, put it in water and a little rooting powder and you should be good in a few 2-3wks
a neat-n-fun way to get cuttings with a rootball ready to go it is with air layering
works great on woody stemmed plants lie rose mary

didn't know u can root cuttings... what I have noticed is that mine is very...very slow growing... I see people with rosemary bushes...meantime mine is this small plant that is brought inside my greenhouse room in the winter and doesn't seem to grow much at all... I've seen bigger plants selling at home depot... what's the secret???

the right soil and lots of sun. also if your plant is old you might find a cutting will have more vigor and grow faster than your old bush. rosemary does like sun, it barely grows overwinter then when i put them out they just explode. using it in the kitchen, aka "topping", also makes for a nice bushy plant that will grow faster.

Exploziv is right on, you can really make a proper bush out of rosemary or french lavender, theres probably pictures in my albums of some, Ive got a lavender that I keep like a bonsai, and I prune it to be like a tree. All those cuttings had come off of ut actually.

I really wish I could leave it outside overwinter, that would make for a really big bush. But the frosts here are not friendly for rosemary plants. Think they only take -5C to -10C or so.

thanks for replies... my rosemary is a plant I bought last spring, left out all summer, and brought inside last fall... it's a slow grower as was my past rosemary plants- along with gardenia's , it seems both just wont grow for me... but for all other plants, its like I'm johnny green thumb....

There are many Rosemary varieties, depends on your usage and growing conditions. I usually grow "Tuscan Blue" and "Spice Island" mostly for cooking. Tuscan Blue is very popular, easy to find, and is very hardy. Spice Island is harder to find but is very good for cooking.
