Thymus doerfleri - Thyme

continental : These plants prefer a sunny location, where they can enjoy direct solar rays even throughout the whole day,
These plants don't feel endangered by the cold weather, therefore they are grown as garden plants.

alpine : Let's grow the The Thymus doerfleri in a sunny place, with direct solar light.
The Thymus doerfleri is a garden plant, which doesn’t need to be protected during the hotter months.

mediterranean : Plant which needs a few hours a day of solar light.
Let’s plant the The Thymus doerfleri in the garden, because it’s a garden plant, which can stand the cold.

continental : During this time of year very frequent watering is advised, even daily if the climate is very hot and dry; let’s try to keep the soil cool and damp. Irrigate every 1-2 weeks, during the evening or morning hours.

alpine : The Thymus doerfleri should be watered regularly, to maintain the substratum slightly damp using 0,5 litres of water; if the climate is very hot and there are scarce precipitations it might be necessary to water every 2-3 weeks, or more often than that.

mediterranean : We suggest watering often, trying to keep the soil slightly damp with 2,5 litres of water, but avoiding excesses; the forming of water stagnations also harm those plants which love wetness, usually the frequency of watering is every 0-1 weeks.

Feed Thymus doerfleri : Every 15-20 days, let’s add a fertilizer for green plants to the irrigating water; or we can fertilize repeatedly every 8-10 days, using a half dose of the product. It’s possible to use a slow release fertilizer, which has a four-month lasting action.

Adversity Thymus doerfleri : Summer treatments should be applied only in cases of displayed infesting; a dry climate favours the development of ticks and rust. During this period of the year, since there are many useful insects in the garden, it is advisable to avoid using wide-range products, favouring the use of specific products against each type of parasite. Let’s apply the treatments during early morning or evening hours.
