Here in Cebu, the demand for rosemary plants is quite high, and I find myself desperate to get a plant as well. Just one would be great! I've had no luck looking for some in the grocery stores, they've usually run out of stock when i check.
BUT with much effort, i finally got a friend to give me a few cuttings. She was fairly hesitant to since she was afraid that the plant would die if you take cuttings from it. After showing her a few videos of other gardeners trimming their rosemary, she gave in and i got a whopping bunch of rosemary! Ofcourse, i had to pay her about php100 for all the cuttings, but it was well worth it!
I'll be putting them into the hydroponic system to root for a week and i'll start adding it into my catalougue of "herbs for sale".
Time to get these babies to root! SOO happy!

| Bwahaha! who would've thought that i would be able to snag this many? |
Another surprising thing is many people have been buying my herbs for the past few days. I just suddenly had an inflow of orders coming in. Within 3 days, i was able to make a sale of over php1000 with one order being php1040 already! *gasp*
I feel a great deal of accomplishment when i see people appreciate my hard work and effort that my plants display through their beauty and health.
Thanks so much, and i look forward to more orders soon. :)

More power to your herb business!
ReplyDeletehow did you grow roots in rosemary cuttings? i got cuttings from a friend the last 3 weeks, but i'm not pretty sure if they're growing in the pot.
ReplyDeletei root my cuttings hydroponically. Rosemary cuttings are a pain to get started though. out of 50 cuttings, only 15 live :(
ReplyDeleteOnce they've rooted, it's not over! out of 15 rooted, 5 die in 3 weeks slowly with no reason :(
If u had rooting hormone, it would increase the chances of rooting, but i dont know where to get some of that. i've been searching all over cebu for rooting hormone and i still cant find any :( good luck with ur rosemary cuttings! :)
i dunno where to find a rooting hormone here in the city. but my tita and i might drop by your garden to buy a few potted herbs soon. :)
