How to Water Indoor Rosemary Bushes

Rosemary is a perennial herb, growing for its fragrance and culinary uses. It is often grown outside, but also works as an indoor plant. It is not difficult to grow rosemary, but this plant can be killed with kindness. Overwatering will cause the roots to rot -- wilting leaves are signs of this. However, if the plant has been growing and appears that it can't get enough water, it likely needs repotting.

Watering can

Instructions

- 1
  Pour water into the top of the rosemary pot using a small watering can until the soil is saturated. Wait five minutes, then dump any excess water out of the tray in the bottom.
- 2
  Test the soil periodically by pressing your finger into it. When the top 2 inches feel dry, it is time to water again. This takes about one week in the summer months but will vary depending on the climate.
- 3
  Water less frequently in the winter when the plant is dormant. Let the soil dry out almost completely, then water the plant. This can take two or three weeks between waterings.
