My Rosemary potted plant is looking flimsy. Advice?

My rosemary plant is not looking as strong as it was a few weeks ago.





It sits on the windowsill and gets adequate water. Any advice? Does it need to be moved outside? Pruned? Left alone??





Thanks

I think you might be over watering your plant. Rosemary likes it on the dry side.


I live in eastern SD and currently have a potted rosemary plant thriving in bright sun (8+ hrs/day) and watered once every 2-3 days (its in a pot that dries out quickly) the temp averages 70F.


Allow the soil to dry out quite a bit before watering it...hope that helps.


Lastly, if it is weak, don't use cuttings for cooking. You don't want to stress it out more than you need to.


Good luck!

Reply:probably over-watered, and not getting enought sun. i live in San Diego where it thrives anywhere you put it, especially in direct sun. you also need to prune it as well.
