I always thought that Rosemary and Lavender looked similar, and now I realize that they are related. I like the smell, and taste of Rosemary, and growing it indoors is something I will be doing this coming fall/winter. Now I have to cut back my outdoor Lavender for the season, to insure its regrowth for next year. Thanks Devin, for another enjoyable video. I always look forward to what you are posting.
Ours is outdoors and thrives here even in our cold, wet country. Our secret is the drainage - very poor soil, stones and sand. Thanks for sharing this, Devin ❤️
We were surprised, too. But really... the key is the drainage. We even use an unglazed terracotta pot. The plant is now around hip level, so it loves it here. :) AND... you can grow anything! We've all seen that. :) @@plantvibrations
Shoot. I’m usually the first to comment but I went to bed early last night. lol. Thanks for another great video. I have always struggled growing rosemary indoors. I live in zone 6B and my neighbor swears she grows hers outside and it survives winters. I think I’ll sneak some cuttings from hers and try it. And I have been using Roberta’s Bounty for a while now…it’s fantastic!
Give it a try indoors! my problem with keeping them outside in pots is mainly that i neglect watering them throughout the winter! ooooh nice job with the bounty, love it!
Good to know about the outdoor sun exposure! I just assumed that any plant native to a mediterranean climate can take full sun with minimal watering even in a container, since summer tends to be the dry season in a Mediterranean climate. Also, imagine growing this plant indoors at the equator. It would need a north facing window for half the year and a south facing window for the other half of the year. And then there would be that strange period around the equinox - where the sun would appear to arc directly over head at mid-day and therefore not shine through a north or south facing window!
I love rosemary, but I could never keep it growing over the winter. This was a very informative video! Can’t wait for spring to try and start a new Rosemary plant that will last!
Yes, I've been bringing my plant in and out for 4 years now and it does work, its actually in bloom right now. The only problem I faced is the plant needs watering almost every day, not a problem but I feel I'm always at the edge of when it really needs it. It can develop that crispy look but always comes back. I think root pruning is in order after it finishes blooming this spring and goes on summer vacation.
yes i totally agree, mine definitely needs water every 2 days or so, which can be annoying. and you are right that they can get a bit crisped out after pruning back the top for awhile during the formation of new foliage. thanks for sharing your experience!
I’m in the same zone. My rosemary survived in the ground over winter last year. I didn’t realize it wasn’t supposed to. I think I’ll take a clipping in the spring and try to propagate it if it has survived this winter. Thanks for the tips.
Hi Devin .Your rosemary looks amazing inside the house .You can plant rosemary from cutting and try to plant it in a protected area in the garden .I have rosemary in the garden and in our area it becomes a big shrub . have wonderful day .🌿
Hey Devin, love your videos, thank you for sharing all your knowledge. Could you do a video on orchids? Specifically getting the store bought orchids to rebloom. I've repotted in orchid medium, fertilize once a week, but only 2 out of 5 have been successful. How do we get them to grow a new flower spike? Thank you!!!
Hi! I do have an old video that I need to remake because it’s super slow and boring, but until I have a chance to remake it, here it is Phalaenopsis Orchid Care Tutorial th-cam.com/video/MYDN2bZji74/w-d-xo.html
I have 10 y.o. rosemary in a pot which grows 100% of the time indoors. I've chosen prostrate form specifically for its shorter internodes and bushier habit. It blooms for about 6 months a year. I have regular upright form too shaped as topiary but it's like 5-6 y.o. It's my second try to grow it. First one was successful too but eventually it became too big so I gifted it to my sister... she killed it in first summer. Who knew that potted rosemary is not drought tolerant 🤣
Wow i bet your ten year old plant is awesome looking! great idea to go for the prostrate. and LOL, such a common misconception about drought tolerant plants in containers haha
You deserve more subscribers and views. All of your videos have lots of useful tips and information. Have a good one!
Aww thanks for your kind words! hopefully the community continues to appreciate the content :)
I agree! We appreciate Devin so much over here in Denmark ❤
You deserve a bigger audience. A larger audience deserves your expertise
Thank you for your kind words :) I’m thrilled to have plant enthusiasts like yourself here to watch

oooh if you can grow in Denmark outdoors, i must try it in my garden outside!

Love the pot it's in. Thanks
Thanks, me too!

There is a lot to consider that’s for sure!!

We have loved having it inside the home for our winter soups!

Thanks so much, excited to try the root pruning on my pot o' rosemary! 💚
yes do it!

Wow maybe I need to try that too!

i wish i could grow it outside like that at my home too!
Do you think it will grow in zone 9 Northern California?
@@wandasinger7713I think it will grow well if you also plant it in protected area and or cover it from snow . 🌿
I appreciate the tips for my most fav cooking herb... I tried indoors once..no luck lol.
Try again!

@@plantvibrations it's not that big, the width of my window sill. I just regularly prune it and use for baking meat or fish 😄
Thank you.What about Basil?
great idea! i need to get a basil plant to start growing
♥️♥️♥️
thanks !
@@plantvibrations hello watching here from phillipines 🥰
lol... The Sun still sets in the West in the Southern hemisphere.
😄😄
I have a young plant , how long does it take to mature ? I also heard they are hard to keep up in moist tropical area
they definitely prefer climates with cool nights. they do grow quite fast though. you can go from a 4" pot to a one gallon within a year
How does rosemary respond to being in a fabric pot, which doesn't let them get root bound?
That’s a good question!
How about Thyme and Mint, we struggle with growing herbs in the tropics.
you should be able to find some mint that grows well in the tropics, like a cuban mint. I wouldn't bet on thyme though
What is a grow light???
a specific light bulb for growing plants indoors
@plantvibrations how is it called I am currently living in Bulgaria
I wish i can grow Rosemary's but they ended up dying
Follow my tips!
@plantvibrations okay cause I planted outside and didn't make it ill try growing it indoors and thanks you for the tips
