Ana@carpe_diem on Nov 27, 2014We replant rosemary at the end of the summer or early fall, just cut of the top with your hand and plant it in the pot. But I have bigger succes if I use planting hormone. Just dip the branch in the powder and then plant it. Works every time! And, sunny position, of course.Helpful Reply

Charlene Lovelace on Nov 28, 2014I'm in Alabama and don't know your weather. Here, we can dig a hole and plant it container deep and water it in for a couple of weeks and then leave it alone. Mine was about 4" to 6" tall when I put it in the ground 8 yrs ago. It has gotten so big that I have to prune it some years. It stays green and cheers up the place in the winter. I grab at little whenever I need some. If you have a cat you don't want on your furniture than lay a branch on it and that will make them move.Helpful Reply

Liliana Wells on Nov 28, 2014Busymonhelp - is your ground frozen yet? If it is, replant in a bigger pot, put close to a sunny window and water occasionally (not too much). In the spring you can plant it outside in the ground. I have moved mine 3 times. It is very hardy after it is established. Great herb to cook with. Good luck.Helpful Reply

Ashley Mann on Nov 29, 2014Rosemary cannot survive freezing weather. And, I have never successfully kept a rosemary plant alive indoors in a pot over the winter. However, last fall (2013) I took a cutting from a friend's rosemary plant and put it in a bottle of water on a sunny windowsill. It grew a thick network of roots and lived through the winter in the bottle - even grew flowers. Then in the spring I planted it in the ground and it grew very large. At the end of the summer I took another cutting, and that second cutting is now alive in a bottle on my windowsill. :)Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Nov 29, 2014It's actually quite difficult to overwinter rosemary indoors because it wants both cool temperatures and bright light. Your best bet is a southern window, otherwise you will probably need to add a supplemental light. Temperatures of 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit (1o to 15 Celsius) are ideal. Not overwatering is crucial.Helpful Reply

Miu on Nov 29, 2014If its a plastik bag (a nylon bag) make a few holes in the plastic to let the growing roots b able to come out of it, then plant it in a bigger pot with the nylon around it. The roots will find their way cutting the plastic all the time while growing. But if its in something like a plastic glass water it first to make the mud stick together then take it out (it will come out like the shape of its former small pot) then plant it in a bigger pot. In this way the little plant will not feel strange in its place because all the surrounding is the same for it.Helpful Reply

Sandy Burrell on Nov 29, 2014if it's cold where you are, and the winter temperatures get below freezing for long periods, then you would need to overwinter it indoors in a cool sunny window. Rosemary can be difficult to overwinter, but don't put in a really large pot, only a size or two bigger than what it's in now. You don't want to overwater it, or let it get terribly dry either. If the roots look brown instead of white when you take it out of the pot, then just cut it off at the ground and use it to cook with, it has a root rot and won't survive anyway. Throw away the roots in this case.Helpful Reply

Kat12065209 on Sep 22, 2016I've kept a rosemary for about 6yrs now. When I lived in NY it had to be brought in for winter and didn't do too badly in a sunny spot. It would rebound as soon as I put it out again in spring. Now that I've moved I'm blessed with incredible sunshine on my patio and my Rosemary not only stayed out all winter, she burst into blooms that lasted till spring! Of course I did bring her in here and there when heavy snows were predicted, but put her right back out as soon as the sun shined again. I'd go ahead and repot into the next size pot and put her in your sunniest window. Rotate from time to time for even growth. Check soil weekly and water when dry. ;)Helpful Reply
