Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C) for optimal germination.
- Transplanting: Transplant Thyme seedlings outdoors once all danger of frost has passed and soil temperatures have warmed. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil, spacing plants 8-12 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth.
- Soil and Watering: Thyme prefers well-drained soil with moderate fertility. Water plants regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods. Mulch around plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
- Maintenance: Prune Thyme plants regularly to maintain shape and encourage bushy growth. Harvest leaves as needed for culinary or medicinal use, pinching off stems just above a leaf node to promote new growth. Deadhead flowers to prolong the blooming season and prevent self-seeding.
