Quick Care Tips
Light: Full sun is key — 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily (south-facing window ideal indoors). Use grow lights if natural light is limited to prevent legginess.
Watering: Water when the top 5 cm of soil is dry (every 1–2 weeks); let it dry out between waterings — overwatering causes root rot, the #1 killer. Drought-tolerant but consistent moisture helps indoors.
Soil: Well-draining cactus/succulent mix or potting soil with added sand/perlite for excellent drainage (essential!).
Humidity: Prefers dry to average indoor air; no misting needed — it loves dry conditions like its native habitat.
Temperature: Thrives at 18–27°C; keep above 10–15°C and away from cold drafts or heaters.
Extra Love: Feed lightly with balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks in spring/summer. Prune regularly to shape, encourage bushiness, and harvest — cuttings root easily in water for more plants!
Fragrant, flavorful, and fiercely resilient, Rosemary is the herb that keeps on giving — bring home this classic and enjoy endless fresh herbs with timeless style!
