In late July, Hungarian horticultural guidance detailed how to multiply rosemary by taking semi‑woody summer cuttings, recommending 10‑12 cm shoots, leaf removal, and rooting in a moist peat‑sand mix under humidity‑retaining covers. The same advice also covered lavender pruning timing.

A week later, Italian experts offered a complementary set of recommendations, emphasizing spring‑time rosemary cuttings of 7–12 cm, a 60–90‑day rooting period, and best practices for indoor cultivation. They warned against constant soil moisture, advising porous containers, well‑draining mixes, and a wet‑then‑dry watering cycle, along with ample sunlight or supplemental LED lighting.

Together, the snapshots illustrate a broader European focus on efficient rosemary propagation, shifting from outdoor summer techniques in Hungary to indoor spring methods in Italy, while maintaining consistent emphasis on proper cutting selection and soil management.
