Hi! ROsemary plant is not very available here in the philippines but the kind you buy for cooking is. Can I start my rosemary plant from these cuttings really used for cooking? They are fresh but kept in the refrigerator. Will the refrigeration make it hard to root? or will the sudden change from fridge temperature to air temperature (around 28 degrees celsius) be to traumatic for the cutting? thanks for the help!
Oh and by the way, it has been raining lately and the basil seeds are still intact to the flowers but the water caused it to form jelly. I thought that it was fungus actually. anyway, will the seeds still germinate as readily as the dry ones? or are they dead? thanks again!
Can you propagate rosemary cuttings from the grocery? basil seed jelly?
Yes, you can use store bought rosemary shoots for cuttings.Use a rooting hormone and nick the bottom few inches with a sharp knife if they are woody stemmed.The change in temp wont bother them,rosemary takes extended cold snaps very well,it is a very hardy plant.
The other question,.....sounds like a fungus to me,use the dry seeds.My basil gets rained on everyday and the seeds mature and dry on the flowers of the plant,no jelly like substance.
Reply:A really good quiestion. BUt I think the ones that have gotten wet are done for.
Reply:I would try to root the rosemary with rooting hormone, nothing to lose. I've gotten seed of all sorts on eBay from as far as India. The basil jelly is brilliant !! You've given me an idea from your seed observation. Why not make basil Jello and jellied sauce. Thanks. RScott
