Οδηγίες Φροντίδας
**Care Instructions for Λασμαρί Έρπον (Rosmarinus prostratus)** - **Light:** Prefers full sun; ensure the plant receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and aromatic foliage. - **Watering:** Water moderately, allowing the topsoil to dry out between watering. Established plants are drought-tolerant but benefit from occasional watering during prolonged dry spells. Avoid waterlogging to prevent root rot. - **Soil:** Thrives in well-drained, sandy or loamy soils with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. Good drainage is essential to avoid moisture retention around the roots. - **Temperature:** Best grown in mild climates; tolerates temperatures down to around -5°C (23°F). Protect from severe frost by providing mulch or moving container plants indoors during winter. - **Humidity:** Prefers low to moderate humidity; avoid overly humid conditions which can encourage fungal diseases. - **Feeding:** Apply a balanced, slow-release fertiliser in early spring to support new growth. Light feeding during the growing season with a liquid fertiliser can be beneficial but avoid over-fertilising, which may reduce aromatic oil concentration. Regular pruning after flowering encourages bushier growth and maintains a compact shape.
