Compact thyme is a delightful herb. Like English Thyme but more compact.

Soil Requirements:

    • Thyme thrives in well-draining soil that is slightly alkaline.
    • Create a potting mix by combining equal parts of garden soil, sand, and peat moss or compost. 
  1. Planting Thyme:

    • Fill the pot with the prepared soil mix, leaving about an inch of space from the rim.
    • Dig a small hole in the center of the pot slightly larger than the root ball of your lemon thyme plant.
    • Gently remove the plant from its nursery container and loosen up the roots.
    • Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface.
  2. Watering and Sunlight:

    • Water your lemon thyme regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.
    • Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
    • Thyme prefers full sun or partial shade.
  3. Fertilizing:

    • During the growing season (spring and summer), fertilize your thyme every 4-6 weeks.
  4. Pruning and Harvesting:

    • Regular pruning helps maintain the plant’s shape and encourages new growth.

Enjoy your Compact thyme plant!
