My Rosemary is all dried up. I watered it 3 days back and The soil is still wet and it has proper drainage too. Any idea what I could do to get some new growth?

Is the stem dead? Dried up?

#### NSR replied on 2024-01-05

No, stem still has life. The soil is damp and the leaves have a white layer or spots on it which looks like some infection

#### Steph replied on 2024-01-05

The white layer is likely powdery mildew. It’s a pretty common issue with rosemary unfortunately

### Steph commented on 2024-01-05

In my opinion Rosemary just does not enjoy being indoors haha I haven’t gotten one to really thrive indoors yet. They do ok or they end up dried up but when I plant it outdoors they grow beautifully.

#### Steph replied on 2024-01-05

It took me 3 time to accept defeat as well haha now she strictly lives outdoors. I winterized her this year to see if she’ll come back this spring. Fingers crossed!

Cut it all the way back to almost the stump, where there looks like new growth. Place outside, rosemary is a Mediterranean plant. But yeah, looks like something got to it.

Powdery mildew thrives in places with low air circulation!

#### NSR replied on 2024-01-06

I didn’t know that. Thank you

### NSR commented on 2024-01-06

Thank you everyone. I have cut the rotten stems and sprayed fungicide. Hoping for the best
