What Customers Say

Why Thyme Need Specialized Nutrients

Thyme, known for its delicate leaves and robust flavor, requires a balanced blend of nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to support its growth and essential oil production.

Watering

Thyme prefers well-draining soil; water thoroughly when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.

Light

Place thyme in a sunny location with at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth.

Soil

Use a sandy, loamy soil mix with good drainage to prevent waterlogged roots and enhance aromatic oil production.

Additional Tips

Trim thyme regularly to promote bushy growth and harvest leaves frequently to encourage continuous production.
