Gardening with Emily Murphy: How to Grow Rosemary From Cuttings

00:00 The video begins with a welcome to the series "Past the Pistil" about small space gardening design and hands-on living.

00:10 The host explains that she is growing rosemary from cuttings and propagating her garden for free.

00:19 She demonstrates taking a softwood cutting from the tip of a plant, about four to six inches long, and making a clean cut with a sharp knife.

00:32 The host strips away the bottom leaves from the cutting and places it in water, which she will change every day or every other day to avoid disease.

00:49 Over the next three to four weeks, the cutting will grow roots and can be transplanted to the garden.

00:58 Another method the host likes to use is propagating cuttings in a 50/50 blend of vermiculite and perlite, which results in a healthy and strong plant with a stronger root system and less chance of disease.

01:10 She demonstrates how to submerged the cutting in a rooting hormone (liquid seaweed) before planting it in the 50/50 blend.

01:25 After planting the cutting, the host suggests using a plastic bag or a cut water bottle to hold in humidity and help the cutting grow.

01:51 The host mentions that by propagating her garden from cuttings, she is essentially growing her garden for free.

02:03 The video ends with a reminder to visit the website, find the host on social media platforms, and to "grow it you love."
