Safe for cats and dogs. Any plant can still upset a pet’s stomach if they eat a lot, so keep it out of reach.

Do this when you get home
- Put it on the sunniest balcony. In a dim room it dies easily.
- Water when the soil is dry. It hates sitting wet.
Day to day
- Cut sprigs often for cooking. The more you cut, the bushier it gets.
- Airflow matters. Stuffy, damp heat rots the roots.
Common questions
The leaves turned yellow and black?
Too much water, or not enough air. Rosemary likes to stay dry.
