At Christmas I was given a rosemary plant in a pot and have been keeping
itin the garage until the worst frosts are past prior to planting out. I
noticed that if I water from the bottom there is a strong smell of sulphur
from any water not absorbed. Also the tips of the shoots have gone very
light green and floppy.
Never had this before and wonder if there is sulphur as a fungicide in the
soil/compost. Any ideas for remedial action would be welcome.
Thanks
Seb


Rosmary is fully hardy so you don't need to keep it in the garage. I guess
the light green/floppy tips are because the plant is putting out new growth
which is getting leggy due to the lack of light. I'd move it outside during
the day only for a couple of days to get it hardened off and then leave it
outside by the side of your house until you're ready to plant it.

Not sure about the sulphur smell but it'll probably clear up as soon as you
get it in the fresh air outside.
