Increase rosemary over offshoot / sinker
When lowering, the young plants are only separated from the mother plant when they have formed roots and grow independently. This propagation process is quite easy to perform, and it also offers some advantages over cuttings propagation.
Advantages of lowering compared to the cuttings propagation
Although the lowering is not necessarily a quick way of propagation, but the drawn plants are much stronger than cuttings. In addition, they are already used to the soil in which they are supposed to ripen. Furthermore, this method is far from being so labor-intensive, since the new plantlets, in contrast to cuttings, do not have to be cultivated in principle. Cuttings need a lot of care to ensure strong rooting and growth, and to keep diseases at bay. Furthermore, no special equipment is necessary. You can lower plants at any time without having to sacrifice space on the windowsill or in the greenhouse.
Increase rosemary over sinkers - that's how it works
Essentially, there are three types of subsidence: when lowering the air, the growth medium (eg a flowerpot) is raised to the stem.Another set of techniques is to pile the earth under one shoot and another, where the whole shoot is dropped into the ground. For the propagation of rosemary in particular, the air method is recommended to settle the small rosemary offshoot right in the pot. After all, young rosemary should not spend the first winter outdoors at least.
Tips & Tricks
Rosemary can also be excellently propagated by division. This also has the advantage that older and woody shrubs can be easily rejuvenated in this way.
