Thymus vulgaris aka Garden Thyme

Garden Thyme presents a moderate level of care, which allows plant enthusiasts with some experience to expand their skills and knowledge.

Garden Thyme should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Garden Thyme loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

Garden Thyme thrives in bright and direct sunlight. To ensure your plant receives enough light to survive, place it less than one foot from a window. The current weather in your area may affect the placement in your home. For example, if you live in a region that has longer and more intense periods of sunlight, then you may want to place the plant farther away from the window to avoid direct sunlight and reduce the risk of sunburn. Alternatively, if you live in a region with relatively milder temperatures and less intense sunlight, then you may be able to place the plant closer to the window for increased exposure. Ultimately, the current weather in your area should be taken into consideration when determining the best placement for your Thyme.

During the wintertime, it's common for Garden Thyme to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more.

Garden Thyme is not known to cause harm to humans or pets.

No additional humidity is required for the Garden Thyme. Plants take in most of their water through their roots, not their leaves, therefore, watering the soil is the most effective way to supply humidity to your plants.

The growth rate of Garden Thyme is slow and it doesn't necessitate additional fertilizing. By changing the soil in its pot annually, the plant should be provided with adequate nutrition. It is crucial to keep in mind that plants derive their energy from the sun, not fertilizers.

Garden Thyme’s native range is temperate Europe, North Africa, and Asia.
