Care Thyme
The Thyme should be used for rock gardens, The development of the The Thyme is This plant in the summer assumes a pink colouring; it is small in size and can reach 3 cm high. It keeps its leaves in the winter.

Temperatures ThymeSole pieno
For a balanced development of the The Thyme it is advisable to locate it in a place where it is exposed to at least a few hours of direct sunlight. During the spring the The Thyme can't stand the cold weather; should the climate be particularly harsh, with minimum night-time temperatures some degrees below zero, let's cover our plant with non-woven fabric.Seeing that the foliage of the aromatic plants is used for alimentary needs, we advise paying attention to the use of insecticides and anticryptogamics: let’s use only those for agriculture and let’s follow very strictly the lacking period written on the label before harvesting these plants.

Irrigation ThymeTenere asciutto
Let’s water these plants only when the substratum is clearly dry using 2-3 glasses of water ; during this period of the year we should intervene every 2-3 weeks , or even less if the weather is rainy. A great part of the aromatic plants are used fresh; during the spring and in the summer it is possible to harvest a good quantity of them, to conserve dehydrated or frozen, to use them during the cold months.

Adversity Thyme
The spring weather, with a high temperature swing between the day and night hours, and pretty frequent rains, can favour the development of fungus diseases, which should be treated pre-emptively with a systemic fungicide, to use before the gems grow excessively; at the end of the winter we also suggest a wide range insecticide to prevent the attack of aphids and cochineals. We should always remember to do these treatments when there aren't flowerings in the garden.

Substrate Thyme
We recommend cultivating these aromatic plants in a soft and light, very well drained, soil.
