Indoor Rosemary Decline: Pot Size and Moisture Fix

Rosemary Needs Root Room

Small pots dry unevenly; rosemary's extensive roots need depth. Gravel bottom creates perched water table → root rot.

Repot Correctly

  • Deeper pot (12"+), no gravel.
  • Well-draining mix: 2/3 potting soil, 1/3 perlite/sand.
  • Mulch surface (pebbles, grit) to retain moisture.
  • Water when top 1" dry—thorough soak.

Light & Air

South window + fan for airflow. 6+ hrs sun. Cool nights (50s) okay.
