- Rosemary can be a difficult plant to keep in the home. In this video I am covering the bases for what makes Rosemary plants thrive vs. what tends to make these plants die. Growing Rosemary as a houseplant can be simple if one has a large and bright window for maximum lighting and good air circulation, oh and don't let your Rosemary plants sit in water!

I have two rosemary that were tiny and now are big dark green healthy bushes! They absolutely love to be watered! I watered them everyday. My mother did NOT water hers enough. They were bought the same day. Hers was tiny and dying. So I took it over a month ago, pruned it and gave it water and repotted it! Now it is getting big and bushy like mine. Of course mine were in pots outside, and I am in New Hampshire for reference, zone 4-5. I just Planted my Biggest Rosemary in the ground because I think it is so healthy it will do great through the winter. I wish I could post a picture in the comments. I took a few cuttings to root and keep inside incase it does not survive the winter. But it is 55 degrees and it is doing great in the ground so far! All the videos I see say not to water until completely dry, and in the comments I see so many with dying rosemarys (probably because they are under watering due to the videos). In the summer outside, they need water everyday, and pruning to make it bushier! I also mulched the top in the container to hold moisture. And fertilized every two months. I have never sprayed the leaves with water, but if you see browning or shriveled needles, look underneath and you will find Aphids sucking the moisture out of them. They love new growth, so check often after pruning especially, put on some plastic gloves you use for Covid protection and squish those little shits! They have soft bodies and are tiny and yellow. They reproduce quickly because they are born pregnant, so if you see one and leave it, their will be hundreds the next day, then thousands. Good luck all!
I’m about to bring one in for the winter, I will update if I can keep it as healthy as I have all summer
After killing 23,000 in my lifetime I decided to watch a video on keeping them alive. lol. You have a Beautiful greenhouse
Yeah they just keep on dying...my other plants do so well, but rosemary and lavender, think on giving up on them...
I actually really love the water sound and appreciate that the volume of your speech compensates for it perfectly.
that's so kind of you to say! thank you! I'm just finishing tomorrow's video on my new editing software and the audio is a mess!
No “ monster” viewers allowed! We love your fish👏
THANK YOU! GREAT VIDEO! Lots of great information. I love rosemary and have killed many myself without a clue as to why they died. Sometimes they would die and I couldn't tell because the needles were still green and didn't fall! After watching several other (useless) videos on ""Planting and Growing" none addressed how to REALLY care for rosemary INDOORS. You provided fantastic and thorough information while being entertaining at the same time! I feel inspired and confident to try again...Thank you so much. Keep up the good work!!!
The sound of the flowing water is actually rather soothing 😌
Finally someone who knows how to take care of rosemary. Thank you for this video
Thanks for making this! I should have done more research once I got mine, now I'm trying to save it from dying!
I've never been able to keep rosemary alive indoors so this has been very helpful.
I've grown thai and italian basil, oregano, thyme, chervil, dill, cilantro, chives, green onions, pepper plants, trees, succulents and flower plants.
But when it comes to rosemary, I just don't know what I keep doing wrong. I'm gonna use these tips and keep my fingers crossed.
I don't know what am doing wrong too. The second one is dying!
@@wasilaahmad4056 my conclusion is that climate also matters. I'm in Chicago and I'm trying to grow them in my apartment.
@@noobmaster31 Thank you Bob, I really appreciate. Am in Nigeria. Could be climate. And I love Rosemary the most. I will give it another go.
Love the decorative drainage dish. The water sounds and your voice put me to meditative state , so now I have to re watch it.
I love Rosemary, but you are correct on it not being the easiest herb to grow! This vid was very helpful, and I think I will give it another go to see if I can truly maintain the growth of one of these awesome plants.
I've killed a few also, but when i stayed regimented with their indoor care they grew wonderfully...main issue was sticking with it and not forgetting to mist it occasionally. Never give up!
Hoping to save my rosemary. That's what got me here
Thanks for the video. I love rosemary. It grows like crazy in Seattle, where I am from. When I moved to the Bay Area (9b) I didn't water it enough and it doesn't look great. I am glad to know it likes water and moisture. It's so goooood in food, many ways. I look forward to making my plant better.
I love seattle! I can see how it would grow well up there with the mild weather, well-draining soil and plenty of rainfall. I suppose the soil up there is technically volcanic right? I used to spend my summers up in Seattle with my aunt and I remember how amazing the soil was, lots of random rocks but it drained just perfectly!
Thank you so much!! I've killed 3 rosemary plants now...so I've probably failed. They kept getting mildew and I couldn't figure out why!! Ugghh it hurts my heart. Oh well. Thank you so much for the tips.
P.S. "Unless you want the fish to die, then you're a monster and I don't care if it bothers you..."😂 That made my day.
this was the best rosemary care video i've ever watched!
The water is soothing. Love fishes and all animals.
Thanks for the down low on Rosemary, very educational!! I'll be using these tips to grow mine ;)
Just wanted to say love your personality! You’re the first plant TH-camr I’ve found genuinely interesting to watch. I think you’re as cute as your adorable rosemary plant
Thank you! Now I know what I am doing wrong, will be trying again
You’ve probably forgotten you even made this one - but hey - that time o year again- informative and fun - thanks!
Such a fun video to watch while I learned why I've killed so many Rosemary plants in my time. Armed with this new knowledge, I'm looking forward to keeping my current Rosemary alive for years to come. Thank you! LOL .... you're cracking me up!
Well thank you, Barbera! I hope your rosemary does give you many years of enjoyment 🙂
Best video about indoor Rosemary. Thank you!
I’m so nervous to try again but your video was really helpful!!!
Thank you! They can be fussy indoors, don't be hard on yourself if you lose a few on the path to learning how to grow them. 😊
I love the bowl under the the plant and thank you for the help on the watering approach as well as noting that growing Rosemary can be challenging.
I'm gonna have to watch this again later. It was too soothing and I fell asleep LOL
I got one from Christmas time and trimmed it up. Thanks for the information
no problem! Glad it was helpful. :)
1st attempt at growing Rosemary this year for my Aunt. Glad i came across this vid. HOpe I am successful. Love to garden
Just got a rosemary tree from my grocery store and was SO surprised when i saw them! I HAD to get one even tho i wasnt prepared and dont know where im gonna put it 😂.
I like your humour 😂 thank you for the tips, I'm here cause I don't want to give up having indoor rosemary 😁
This is the most hilarious and informative channel I've ever came across! I was laughing so hard I cried. And I learned so much!! Gotta go run and binge watch all your videos! xoxo
Thank you so much, Heidi!
No wonder my Rosemary always looks so blah, the leaves never get wet unless it rains so it's always just gray.
that's pretty typical, they don't really like to be wet, but indoors with super dry air it helps to mist them or even just around them here and there.
I love 🐠 an the sound of water 💦, great info TY
thank you Gerri!
Just killed my second Rosemary, guess I get one more go!
I always kill mine :( Now it makes sense why :) Well, next time I get one, I'll know what to do. Thanks! FYI, I can barely hear background noise when you film.
thank you! I can never tell because edit right next to the pond and fans, so it's like double background noise to try and clean out of the audio in the videos.
mine started bowing down yesterday...n now here I am looking for infoo...
You’re so rad! I have a rosemary Christmas tree to rescue! 3 hard attempts!
Great video! 💖 I haven’t ever gotten to the “prune-able” phase yet with any of my rosemary’s 😬 so this should help a lot!
This was very informative. I just bought one for my restroom and I think i over watered it, after watching this video. Yup I sure dude. I hope I can save it now. Thanks again for this video
Thank you! I hope it bounces back for you!
ah, I think I know why mine isn't doing so well now. Thanks for making this video.
Hopefully it will turn around for ya!
So glad I watched this Totally love my rosemary plant and now I can keep it healthy ty so much for the video Awesome greenhouse 👍👍
I was looking for help and a search brought up your channel. I will subscribe.
3rd time I've killed a rosemary plant. Drainage clog. I repotted it but it isn't looking good. I can grow mint from seed but I kill cacti and succulents. I'm an over waterer. I'm learning. On the bright side, the nursery's herbs and annuals are deeply discounted so it gave me an excuse to go look at all the beautiful plants and get another rosemary. I won't give up. It's one of my favorite herbs. Thanks for the tips.
I am so jealous of your grow room!
Over the past several years, I have tried growing rosemary outdoors and have failed each time. The leaves get some black spots at the start then the entire leaf gets black and dried. This spread to the other leaves, after which the plant dies. I see the same thing at the nurseries too. Ur video was enlightening!❤️
Love ur indoor garden 😍
By yes barygood
Great video. This is the second Rosemary am killing. Hope to salvage it after watching. You got a new Subscriber. You are very expletive. Love from Nigeria
Great video🎉🙏🏼 tried grow for years but always failed inside this should help make a difference, thank you!
Great video all you need to know about rosemary. Must watch
Thank you!
Best video I've found on TH-cam for keeping rosemary alive inside! You have great tips and commentary and made me laugh several times. I just got a couple of rosemary trees for christmas, they are starting to look rough, but maybe I can baby them and keep them alive. My hubby always says "Uh oh, another victim?", each time I come home with another rosemary. Hopefully they can start loving me like I love them! Subscribing today to your channel. 😊
I love rosemary so much I bought all 6 different types of rosemary.
This is an *extremely* informative video. You have a new subscriber!
A great fun, informative, reassuring video! Thank you. The best part was where you said it is not a fail until you have tried and they they have died (I am a poet) at least three times...
I wish I watched this video like a month ago!! I got a rosemary bonsai for the holiday and mine dried out I live in Michigan and it’s all grey now not sure if I can bring it back! But will use these tips!
This was truly enjoyable and informative. Thank you.
This video really help me a lot
Best info i have found so far. Thank you!
My rosemary always does good until i repot. Then it goes downhill...
You are hilarious!!! Hopefully I can keep mine alive.
Hi tropical plant party! I just got a rosemary plant indoors a few days ago and it has been turning brown and becoming droopy. I've given it a mist and it seems to look a bit greener but still drooping. Any tips on how I can save it? Thanks!
I'm having this problem too!! I have no clue how to fix it tho :/
I also bought fertilizer, soil and plants food too. So I use them on rosemary so it won’t die.
Please do more about thyme, mine is dying
Agree, Its about thyme to do that
So at 5:50 we’re talking about watering the leaves every or every other day
And at 6:40 we’re talking about watering the .. soil? Every two weeks or so.
Did I get this right
Maybe you need to listen to the reason why... mentioned multiple times...
I was just looking at those the other day but I didn't get it yet cuz I'm just not ready for Christmas stuff. I usually like to wait till the day after Thanksgiving to start Christmas things. Thank you for the tips on how not to kill it hopefully LOL! I will definitely get one this year and I really like the little pine (can't remember the exact name) that smells like lemon/citrus. I have a couple of Norfolk pines so I want something different cuz I don't think I really need another one this year but if I see a really nice one it may just have to come home with me LOL Happy Thanksgiving!🧡🦃
thank you, Brandi and happy Thanksgiving to you as well!
🌲 That's the prettiest Rosemary plant ever! Love that little herb. I found a neat recipe on wiki how to do anything for Aloe Vera shampoo with Rosemary, Peppermin or your fave like lavender essential oil, some castile soap ect. and it is refreshing! I seen that advertisement for a herb kit, soooo cool, I'm going to order that for sure.
thanks so much for all that amazing advice!!! looking forward to putting all those tips into practice.
Thank you for this information
Just brought rosemary and don't know why the leaves are down.
I failed the last plant I had. I'm trying now to grow some from some cuttings I bought from the store, glutton for punishment, but I love this herb so much. Thank you for so much information. Now I know what I did wrong and not to do it again. ❤
Very helpful. Thanks a lot!!
I love to make Rosemary Olive Oil for cooking. Really good.😊
Okay so i failed with the plant but i will not give up
Never give up! That's the spirit!
Thank you for this informative video. I learned A LOT! :)
I am almost giving up on rosemary plants...alteady died 4 plants...don.t know what i.m doing wrong..going to try your tips..the same goes with the lavender plant..alteady lost one...other plants i have no problem , but have no luck with 2 kinds of plants...
Can you do one for growing blue vervain indoors?
amazing plant you have , how did you make it into this beautiful Christmas tree shape ?
Thanks for the tips!
Very helpful video! Like your fun personality!😁 Have a question about rosemary: one side a cluster of branches the leaves turned brown fell off, so I trimmed down those few branches on the one side. The rest of the plant is doing great and I keep seeing new growth all the time. My question is: will new growth come in the spring on those "dead" branches or is it just dead? And if it is something more serious will it affect the rest if the plant? (Mine is same size as yours but doesn't have the pot liner but does have good drainage and I water soil like you explain and it is kept on plate with raised ridges so it wont sit in it's drained water)..Thanks!😁
I think I might have over water it😫. Hope my Rosemary plant will still survive.
would coconut coir work for soil, or would that retain too much water??
I don't want your fishies to die either! And what monsters don't like the soothing sound of water?! Bastards. 😒😏
BTW, this was VERY thorough and helpful! Maybe mine won't die this time.
Haha! Thank you, Dyan!
My rosemary bush looks different? It seems more like a bush than a herb plant? Also I under watered it so it's really dry, but I watered it a few days ago. I'm hoping he'll come back to life. I don't think the roots got too dry. Thanks for the information.
Do I need to put small stones or gravel in pot before the soil for rosemary?
There are 2 drain holes already.
My rosemary is outdoor. The top and around looking great but the branches at the base are turning brown and drying up. Could you please suggest what could be wrong or is it normal?
Same idk what's wrong with it
When I put water I overflow water in pot of rosemary because I really wanted to wet rosemary.
My favorite smell of a plant but need to have the proper care
What type of plants would you suggest for a preschool classroom. I will be trying the rosemary likeing the idea of them spraying to water them. Thanks
I'm scared to over water my rosemary but it looks super dry. 🥺
I borought all kinds of rosemary out there, and there are 6 different types of rosemary and I bought all of them,
I’m new to this and couldn’t find this stuff anywhere. I went to Home Depot to try to find a nice pot and drip tray like that but there was nothing even close. Where do y’all get this stuff?
I used to have a tiny rosemary pot on my kitchen window which got a lot of light. It looked good at first, then was withering quickly, and I thought it was from over watering it. I had it in a clay pot until I knew why! The soil was infested with small cockroaches!!!! I was so disgusted! I think I used soil from another outdoor plant to replant it into a slightly bigger pot, so maybe that is how the roaches were living in the soil? For years I never brought another rosemary plant indoors....until today. I have a decent size rosemary that I decided to bring in, hopefully the soil doesn't have nasty roaches( it did have a baby lizard living in it) Good luck !
Thanks for this video. I have always killed them.
Most people do, including myself! lol. Thought it would be nifty to do a video with all of what I have learned from troubleshooting how to keep them alive inside over the years. .. knowledge gained from killing several. :)
What is the best potting soil for rosemary?
They always come root bound at this time of year. 🎄 Do they need to be re-potted or do they like tight roots? Thank you!
my rosemary doesn't like humidity. I live in California and it's pretty dry. If I mist my rosemary, it starts to have white powder mildew...
Hi i have been trying to grow rosemary but failling miserably. My initial plant died because of too much watering. And now i have this curly rosemary. As advised by the seller, i water them from below for about 30sec once a week. Yet i see browing of leaves and droppy leaves. Please advise i love them n dont want them to die
Droppy leaves means that they need water
This is SUPER helpful
I love your personality! #subscribed
Great video! 👍
Thank you!
I killed my rosemary outdoors. 😫 I overwatered it because I’m a noob.
I've killed plenty of rosemary and lavender. We get a lot of heat and rain in summer time so they can be tricky here. I've learned that planting up in a mound, which is like a root ball raised a few inches from the ground with soil raised up around it...basically planting them a little higher than the soil surface on the ground. ... that this method helps a lot with them getting too wet.
Trick to Lavender is to add sand and pea rocks to soil. Works well with clay soil areas like the NW. Also keep PH around 6- 6.5
My dumb ass planted rosemary in a container with a tomato plant...
Thank you, now I know .....
I've never grown them inside, it will be awful because i live in the south mediterranean area(and because i planted a plant of rosemary when i was 5, last year was a 1.5 m high plant but now it's dead you know .... it was really old). I've also seen a lot wild rosemary here just driving on the costal street it was growing in an area that is almost vertical (it was the hanging variety )along with some Mediterranean fan palms; agaves ;olive trees and other native plants......
that sounds lovely!
Awww sorry to hear that
I should clarify that I meant the drive sounds lovely, not the dead plant you had for such a long time! Sorry to hear about that!
@@TropicalPlantParty from 1 plant i made 3 of them in 2-5 weeks ;)
Omg I love you!!! You’re a monster 😂😂😂😂
The water never interfere with the video. Let's keep the fish alive. I am gonna try again to grow yet another rosemary.
