So I have this lovely rosemary plant .... a pot of happiness.
There are few herbs that I love more than rosemary, added to the fact that this particular gem was given to me by a very special lady. I had had a rosemary once before. And it got moldy. So brilliant little me sprayed some apple cider vinegar on it to kill the mold. Well it killed it alright. :/
This one seems to have had a rather hard winter. A month or so ago, some of it's branches started dying. I started watering it more regularly surmising that the vent above it was causing it to dry out more quickly than I was used to. I pruned it. I religiously cut the dead branches. My anxiety grew with each branch that I laid to rest in the trash can.
So during one of the prunings, I put several cuttings into little jars of water, nestled them on the window sill, and crossed my fingers. Sure enough! A few weeks later they began to root! I gave them a bit of fish emulsion and then prepared some pots. Finally, something to do with these uselessly cute little pots.
I made deep holes with my finger and tucked the gangly long roots inside. I cut back the tops of some of them and left others whole. We'll see which ones do the best!
They sat on the coffee table for a while, receiving dainty little waterings.
And then graduated to the south window sill.
The greatest part is that the mother bush seems to be much happier and healthier!
