1 6-inch Stem from rosemary plant
Gently peel off leaves from lower half (base) of stem.
Submerge stem in potting mix so lowest leaves are just above soil level. Press potting mix in place so stem stands firmly in place.
Keep in indirect light in sheltered location at 70°F (21°C) or a bit warmer with moderate to high humidity. Do not allow potting mix to dry out.
In 4 to 8 weeks when roots have formed, transplant to permanent growing location.
