🌱 Tips for Success

  • Thyme loves dry conditions — avoid overwatering.
  • Provide strong light and good airflow to prevent mold.
  • Trim regularly to encourage bushy growth and more leaves.
  • Use well-draining soil to keep roots healthy and aromatic.

💧 Watering Tip

Let the top inch of soil dry before watering again. Overwatering can cause root rot and weaken the plant.
