It’s super simple to grow endless amounts of this common kitchen herb — here’s how.
The scoop
TikToker and self-proclaimed “gardening bestie” Nina the Plant Mum (@ninatheplantmum) shared how she grows giant bushes of rosemary from just one sprig.
@ninatheplantmum Rosemary is so real for wanting to be left alone in the sun but brought drinks 👸 how to grow rosemary 🪴 Take your cuttings as shown in the video, and plant into well draining soil. 🪴 keep her in a sunny spot 🪴 wait until the top inch of soil is dry before watering 🪴 you can keep her inside in a sunny spot or plant her outside when her roots are developed! Any questions? Just ask 😊 #plantcare #houseplants #houseplantsoftiktok #houseplant #rosemary #garden #herbgarden #gardening #gardeningtips #creatorsearchinsights ♬ Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes) – Edison Lighthouse
“You can grow rosemary from supermarket packets or you can take your cutting from a plant,” Nina says, “because why buy one when you can grow one for free?”
If you’ve already got a thriving rosemary plant, propagating another is very simple. Just cut a few fresh stems, remove the lower leaves, and cut just beneath a leaf nodule.
Then, stick the rosemary into some well-draining soil and water when the top of the soil is dry. Roots will sprout from the leaf nodules, and voilà — more rosemary.
Rosemary is versatile — sprigs can add flavor to meats, stews, soups, oils, and even drinks. It can also be used with water for a restoring hair rinse or to freshen up a room.

How it’s helping
Kitchen countertop herb gardens are a super simple, low-maintenance way to save money on groceries. As Nina said, why buy what you can grow for free?
Herbs like basil, thyme, mint, and more can be grown in containers on your countertop. Not only does this mini-garden provide you with instant access to fresh herbs for cooking, but it can make you happier and healthier, too.
Gardening and growing your own food can have a positive impact on your mental health. People who regularly garden report lower levels of stress, anxiety, and depression, and higher levels of happiness and belonging.
