How To Root Rosemary Cuttings In Water

Step 1

Cut 5"-6" long shoots from your established Rosemary plant. You want to be sure to select the new soft, tender green shoots and avoid the older, hard, brown, woody stems.

Step 2

Strip the leaves from the bottom half of your cut stems. It's important to keep them right side up!

Step 3

Place in a cup of water ensuring that the water level stays below your leaves.

Step 4

Dump old water and refill with fresh every day. This keeps the stems from rotting.

Step 5

Be patient! It can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks to see your first tiny roots starting to form.

Step 6

After you have a decent start to your roots harden the plants off for about a week and then plant in a sunny place with well draining soil.
