How do I maintain Lavender and Rosemary if I have them in 2 separate containers in my bedroom?

I want to know what I do with it after it has grown a foot tall. i've been watering it everyday while being in my bedroom. Is lavender low or high maintenance? When is the best time to grow lavender? Is lavender an annual, bi-annual or perennial flower? Just give all the details on how to take care of both lavender and rosemary. Do they require sunshine and atering everyday?

They are both dry climate plants. Need sun to flower. More sun, more flowers. They would survive okay indoor next to the sunniest window but not great. To trim, lavenders grow on new woods, so either trim no more than 2 inches and new flowers will grow from there. However, then the plant will eventually become very big and too leggy to be pretty. The other way is to just give it a big haircut at the end of winter and allow new growths and let the old growths die off. In either case, to have a healthy plant you should still bring it out to the full sun after the trim until it flowers before you bring it back indoor. Or else, it may not flower.





Rosemary is easy. Just clip it anyway you like. However, it too needs a lot of hot sun directly to flower. Let it stay inside if where you are is freezing in the winter, and you will have to bring it out to get sun to flower before you bring it back in. Repeat and you will have a, healthy long flowering plant.





Both like their root balls away from cold and on the dry side.





Water thoroughly for both but definitely let it completely dry out. Especially lavenders. Their leaves need to really dry out or else they can have fungus. Give them some fertilisers at a lighter strength 3-4 times a year. They don't need much. Organic fertilizer to avoid buildups.
Reply:Both lavender and rosemary come from desert-like conditions close to the equatorial areas of the Mediterranean. They loooove hot, dry conditions and hours of sun. If they do not get this, they become leggy and/or fail to grow. If you give them all the sun and air they can possibly have out of doors, they are practically no maintenance, except to pinch back the growth and harvest the lavender stems when ready to dry. I grow mine in large clay pots and water thoroughly every day in the hottest part of the Summer.
Reply:They are both perennial herbs.. Easy to grow, just water every other day and give indirect sun.
Reply:Both lavender and rosemary are perennial herbs and are not really suitable for growing indoors. They can cope with the British winter without flinching (although rosemary is a little more tender and is better with some shelter from the wind).





Is there nowhere outside that you can put them? I can see them getting quite etiolated (which means growing very tall because they are looking for light) indoors. I guess they will be ok if you put them in a sunny position, but then you will have to water them a lot, or they will dry out too quickly.





They really require very little care - in a garden you could just leave them to get on with it and maybe trim them when they get a bit out of hand.
