Should I remove the flowers?
I began taking a rosemary cutting on Feb 11 and planted it in a small 2-inch pot. By Mar 16, I noticed roots emerging from that mini container, so I transferred it to this larger 5.5-inch pot on Mar 19. Today, the plant is blooming! I’m unsure whether I should remove these flowers or simply leave them be. Will flowering so early potentially harm my young cutting? #Rosemary #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

@MasterBrandegea Because the cutting look healthy, I would probably leave it as it. But this is really a personal choice as I don't see any reason for the flowering to "harm" your plant. At most, the flowers may divert some energy from the Rosemary cuttings growing efforts so this could be a reasonable basis for removing the flowers. If, however, you have concern with its ability to grow or see its growth being affected, then removing the flowers may certainly help. Either way, cutting the flowers off or leaving them on is unlikely to harm the plant. Hope this helps
@MasterBrandegea sounds good, I would imagine the cutting will grow well. Funny thing but I had a cutting in a pot outside and it must have been so good, when I came home tonight someone had stolen it?!? Maybe it looks too tempting or they needed it for a dinner meal. But it was just put in water and rooted then I put it in soil. They grow well from cuttings. Looks like I'm back to the drawing board now, will have to get another cutting...🤷
@Seymour Wow, it must looks very enticing! I’m sorry to hear about the loss, but I’d imagine your next cutting will grow as well as the last one.

LOL, that's what I thought, why would someone take a small Rosemary cutting next to some large aloe vera, snake plants, etc...ah well, they must have needed it more thank I did...I think it helped me let it go but I was absolutely astonished when I saw it missing...so beware of sneaky little Rosemary theives if your cutting grows well 😆 🤣 😂
