Propagating Rosemary

Rosemary goes for over $4 for an already started plant and I am not patient enough to wait on seeds. This little dilemma leads to my latest project, propagating rosemary. Also known as cloning. This process works for almost any plant but the photo instructions show me doing it to rosemary.

Materials:

Branch from an already growing rosemary plant (one from last year, a neighbor's, family members, ect.)
Gardening snips
Honey
Potting soil
Planter

Directions:

1. Select a branch of the rosemary and clip it with the gardening snips.
2. Strip the rosemary 1/3 of the way up the branch.
3. Dip in honey.
4. Fill a planter with potting soil.
5. Use your finger and poke a hole 3/4 the way down the middle of the planter and place the rosemary covered in honey into the hole up to the start of the leaves.
6. Gently shake the planter to fill the dirt in around the stem. Finish filling in the planter with dirt. Gently press down the soil.
7. Dampen soil with water.
8. Continue to water lightly daily. In a couple weeks you should begin to see new growth and a solid root structure.
