I recently purchased a BOG Rosemary and it was quite beautiful. It began dying as I did not sufficiently recreate its' actual ecosystem as there are complicated microbes and acids that allow this plant to thrive. I replanted (its an indoor plant) my BOG with sphagnum peat moss (will not be using it again as its detrimental affects to the environment), regular miracle grow flower/garden soil, worm castings. Is there anything else that I I am missing? Maybe include some compost to get the pH to drop or purchase something to increase the acidity. I plan to use (although its quality is questionable) my pH meter to just get an idea if I gotten the soil at least below a 6.
I also read the watering should be consistently moist. Should I water my BOG to the point that I can see water in the plate below or is that too much?
How long should I wait to see the changes in the plant after you meet its optimum conditions for growth? Usually if I can't get it to live indoor I try to save it by letting mother nature beat me at its own game.
If anyone has suggestion, I will definitely be happy to take it as I am sure I can get this plant alike again.
