Warum sieht Rosmarin so traurig aus? Ich habe es erst vor etwa ein oder zwei Wochen bekommen und seitdem einmal gegossen. (Mit etwa einer Tasse Wasser)

It may have been moved outside too quickly but now it should recover
I’d go with a cup of water twice weekly. Harder to over water those pots with open bottoms
has it been repotted recently? moving a plant from one conditions to another makes them stress. how much sun it gets?
I’ve always heard that you shouldn’t water rosemary too much, that it likes watering when the soil is dried out. Following those instructions, every rosemary I’ve had died. Got a new one, put it in full sun, watered it every 3 days. Had to repot it 3 times, it grew so big. Based on that, I’d say give your plant more water.
A cup of water is not sufficient. Completely soak it, let the water drain, repeat when the first few inches are dry.
FULL SUN outside and barely watered.. they love that Mediterranean climate.
If it still looks like this after sunset then it needs water. Drown it occasionally. You really need to soak it when it’s dry. If it perks back up after sunset then it’s just reacting to the heat.
It desperately needs humidity
Rosemary is dramatically slouchy when it needs water. Bottom water it for 30-60 mins then drain, it’ll soak up what it needs for the week. Also, they are very thirsty plants. Once you see the slouch, water
More water, less sunlight. Too harsh.
If this is happening after sunset then you shouldn’t worry as some plants do this. They are well and fine in the morning and afternoon and sad in the evening…
I don’t know the exact reason but some plants do this like Mimosa.
I can never keep one alive in a pot, yet it could grow wild in the ground where I live
It looks bone dry!
Sitting on all that hot concrete all day probably isnt helping it’s roots in a shallow pot – increase container size with more soil might be helpful if it’s gonna stay on the hot concrete.
When you water, water well, like soak it. Soak every particle of soil. Let it suck up all that it can. Then, let it dry almost completely before you do it again. You’ll hear, “water until it runs out.” True but…when the soil has gotten really dry, water just runs right past it and out the bottom. Give it time to absorb. Feel the weight of the pot. There should be a significant difference between dry weight and well-watered weight. Good luck!
Just me, but I’ve found that rosemary and lavender both really don’t like potting soil – they like dry feet and potting soil just retains to much water. I’ve had the best luck by putting them in mostly sand/gravel with a handful or two of potting soil mixed in and watering every few days while they get established.
Afraid of heights maybe?
You also have to take into account that it is sitting on a balcony of concrete. Needs more water
Combination of hot and not enough water.
Needs better drainage, but more sun and water. Like the other person posted, humidity. Try spraying water on it during the early hours of the morning. Or, put it inside a mini greenhouse.
I suspect you received a rosemary cutting with insufficient roots.
Sometimes sellers just stick branches into pots and sell them.
Younger rosemary plants aren’t as drought resistant as larger, more established plants. They’ll need more frequent watering, like maybe every few days. Check the soil frequently to see when it needs water
When utilising small pots you have to convert common wisdom from large pot or garden to small pot that can dry out much quicker.
Think of it as someone says “I love a cup of coffee in the morning!” and rather than a mug they’re handed a tiny espresso size of the same coffee. They’d need about 8 of those to feel like they’re enjoying their normal amount.
Dry
I water mine every couple days, sometimes daily if it’s out in the hot sun. That thing looks sad because it’s dying of thirst.
It might not need it! Looks ready to dehydrate and use!
They love abuse and neglect
It needs full sun.
I water mine every other day. And it is growing nicely.
rosemary needs full sun to thrive ,though they are drought hardy in the ground in pots they seem to need more water ,the plant will outgrow that pot pretty quick by the way
