While growing rosemary in pots places each cutting in any available pot 2/3 full of gritty sand and 1/3 of peat. After that, place it in any sunny spot of your home, but do not expose it to direct sunlight, in short, spread the rosemary.

Do not forget to make a few holes on the bag’s top as it will help the plant in growing. To boost up the plant, try dipping the cutting ends in some rooting powder.
It is very important to remove these leaves, like remove the leaves on 2 to 3 cm at the base of the section; it is this part that you will put in the ground because if you don’t, the branch will rot in the ground instead of growing.
