Dulles is a huge airport with nonstop service to almost all major US airports and many foreign places. It is also a long way out of DC, and it takes an hour or more and costs a minimum of about $15 dollars for the combined bus/Metrorail trip into town, much more for airport shuttles and even more money for taxis.
5. Select a stem to cut. Most succulents are not difficult to grow, but you can still increase your chances of a healthy plant with the right cutting. Ideally, select a stem that is actively growing, near the top or outer edge of the plant, and 4â6 inches (10â15 centimeters) long.. Strip leaves from the lower part of the stem. If you are using a stem cutting, remove the lowest cluster of leaves. Strip them with the same, sterilized knife, leaving the lowest 2â4 inches (5â10 cm) of the stem bare.
Cut out dead and winter-damaged branches and stems in early spring as new growth begins on the stem tips. Cut the rosemary back to the nearest healthy portion of the stem with sharp shears. Trim back the entire plant by about half its height in late spring or early summer to control the size and shape of the rosemary. Make the cuts in the succulent green stem portions. Do not cut into the woody bottom section of each stem, because rosemary may not grow back well from the woody stem sections.
