Water: Wild rosemary originates from peat bogs and pine forests, thriving in high humidity and damp conditions. It can tolerate occasional dry spells, requiring watering every three weeks. Preferring cooler climates, wild rosemary needs moist yet well-drained soil for optimal growth.
Fertilize: For wild rosemary, apply balanced nutrition fertilizers in early spring and late summer, avoiding over-fertilization. Water the soil beforehand and consider slow-release formulas. This approach enhances growth and flowering while promoting health, suitable for all gardeners. Always verify with reputable sources.
Pruning: Wild rosemary, recognized for its aromatic leaves and white flowers, thrives with early spring pruning. Key techniques involve removing dead branches, promoting growth, and ensuring airflow. Use clean tools, prune lightly, and respect the plant's growth habit to enhance health and reduce pest risks.
Propagation: Wild rosemary can be propagated via cuttings using healthy semi-hardwood stems and rooting hormone. Ensure consistent moisture and well-draining soil to prevent root rot. Maintain gentle warmth and indirect light until roots establish, then gradually acclimatize the new plants.
