Grown under partial shade so it must be acclimated to full sun if desired. Rosemary is suitable for placement indoors, but only for limited duration unless a suitable spot is found through experience. Move your plant outdoors in partial shade periodically for the plant to recuperate. The indoor location should be as bright as possible and have excellent air circulation. The best location would be an outdoor covered patio with about 50% shade.

Frequently check rosemary for water, especially when warm. They prefer to be kept slightly on the dry side, but not completely dry. Do not let the roots sit in water or root rot will develop. Only fertilize if the plant shows signs of need.

Whitefly and aphids may be attracted to rosemary. If chemical control is necessary, read and follow the directions on the label. Rosemary does not like to have its leaves wet, so misting or washing of the plant is not recommended as a means of pest control (foliar diseases may develop).

Rosemary prefers low humidity. In areas with high humidity areas keep the plant indoors during the humid times of the year. Rosemary will do well if transplanted into a terra cotta pot.
