The Miniature Rosemary Christmas Tree will last for MANY years to come if cared for properly. Please use the general guidelines below as you care for your potted plant (these instructions will be included with the shipment of each plant).

Care Instructions are included with every plant:

Light Exposure:

A bright airy location that is not too hot will keep the plant looking its best during the winter. In the northern states, bright direct light is ideal. Outdoors provides the best environment, but a bright window could suffice as well. Rosemary likes the sun, check that the heat of the afternoon doesn't dry them out too quickly.

Water/Fertilizer:

Provide water when dry to the touch. Rosemary begins active growth again in March. Once the danger of frost has passed, it can be planted in the ground or potted into a larger container so that it doesn't dry out as quickly. Applications of a balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (April - September) and moisture during the hot spells will encourage the plant to thrive. Avoid long dry periods, watering the plant every 2-3 days in the summer, depending on the severity of the summer and heat in your area, and once per week through the spring and fall.

Pruning:

Rosemary will flower on the past season's wood, therefore if the plant grows tall during the growing season, prune back the long shoots to also encourage a thicker canopy and maintain the pyramidal shape if desired. This will help to form branchlets and thicken the canopy rather than favor tall shoots. This will also keep the plant to scale with the container. Every two years, prune 1/3 of the existing rootball in late winter and re-pot with fresh soil if growing in a container that is small enough to carry.

Dormant Period:

Rosemary will not lose their leaves during the winter but will stop growing. This should help the plant to require less water than during the summer months, but don't allow the plant to dry out completely. Rosemary can withstand some cold, but nothing lower than 30 degrees for a few hours. The roots should never be allowed to freeze, so do not store the plant at any temperature below 33 degrees.
