8.  The Easiest Hack: Use a Terracotta Pot

Here’s the secret sauce: Terracotta pots naturally wick away moisture from the soil. That means they prevent overwatering better than plastic or ceramic pots.

✅ Why it works:
Terracotta is porous, so it lets excess moisture escape. Combine that with well-draining soil, and your rosemary plant will finally breathe easy.

9.  Prune Smart for Better Growth

Rosemary gets woody over time. Light, regular pruning encourages new, bushy growth and keeps it from getting leggy.

✅ How to prune:
Trim soft, green stems—never cut into the woody base. Aim to prune in spring and summer.

10.  Companion Planting Bonus

Rosemary makes an excellent garden ally. It repels pests like cabbage moths and carrot flies, making it a great companion for veggies like:

• Carrots

• Beans

• Cabbage

11.  Quick Revival Tips for Dying Rosemary

✅ Check moisture levels—adjust watering immediately
✅ Move the plant into full sun
✅ Inspect for pests or rot
✅ Prune dead growth
✅ Repot into dry, fast-draining soil

With just a few simple steps, your rosemary can bounce back to health.
