- Select and Prepare the Cuttings:
Identify healthy stems on the rosemary plant that are about 4 to 6 inches long.
Using sharp scissors or pruning shears, make a clean cut just below a node (where a leaf emerges).
Remove the lower leaves from the bottom inch of the cutting to expose the nodes. - Place Cuttings in Water:
Fill the glass or jar with clean water, ensuring that the nodes on the rosemary cuttings are submerged.
Place the glass or jar in a location with bright, indirect light.
Change the water every few days to keep it clean and oxygenated. - Monitor Root Growth:
Over the course of a few weeks, you should start to see roots emerging from the nodes of the rosemary cuttings.
Roots typically appear within 2 to 6 weeks, depending on environmental conditions and the health of the cuttings. - Transplanting:
Once the roots are several inches long and well-developed, your rosemary cuttings are ready to be transplanted into soil.
Choose a well-draining potting mix and plant the rooted cuttings, ensuring that the soil is kept consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Place the newly potted rosemary plants in a sunny location indoors or outdoors, depending on your climate.
