It is not a plant with high nutrient requirements! Since this herb is native to the warm climate of the Mediterranean region, it does best in sandy soils. Rosemary prefers sandy, nutrient-poor soil. If you fertilize your rosemary with high levels of nitrogen, it will burn the roots and cause yellowing of the leaves.
Also, excess nitrogen will cause the foliage to grow faster, which of course comes at the expense of the flowers. In this situation, you should stop fertilizing your rosemary and add more sand or grit to the pot.
If your rosemary is in the garden, then it is better to fork the soil around the plant and add sand to the base of the plant, which will also improve the aeration of the plant. Your rosemary plant should recover next year if you do not use fertilizer and amend the soil with sand.

Add some horticultural sand or grit to the soil and replant your rosemary into fresh soil afterwards. Another reason why your rosemary might be dying is lack of space between the plants and overcrowding.
Overcrowding and closely planted rosemary plants will prevent optimal air flow to the plant. It can also lead to slower water evaporation, especially at the bottom of the plant, leading to infections and rot.
Make sure that plants are always spaced out properly. If your potted rosemary is dying, a few main reasons are lack of light, under or overwatering. Always make sure that your potted rosemary has enough drainage holes on the bottom to prevent waterlogged soil.

Rosemary is a perennial herb that requires ample sunlight and soil conditions that can be either dry or moist.
The herb thrives in cooler temperatures, so it is best to grow rosemary plants in areas that have cool winters. Rosemary plants are tolerant of sandy and rocky soils but do not do well in nitrogen-rich soils. Rosemary plants need full sun exposure for most of the day. The herb may wither if planted under low light conditions such as underneath trees and shrubs. The herb is susceptible to root rot if the soil is kept wet. Rosemary should be watered only when the surface of the soil becomes dry and not on a regular basis.
Too much water may lead to fungal diseases, especially if you are growing rosemary outside. You can prevent this from happening by planting the herb near a wall or fence so that there is good air circulation around it.

Organic matter acts as a natural fertilizer which also prevents insects from infesting rosemary plants. The herb is susceptible to root rot if it is planted in a garden bed with poor drainage.
