Thymus vulgaris - Garden thyme

continental : Plant which needs at least a few hours a day of solar rays.
We suggest growing the The Thymus vulgaris outdoors during the summer.

alpine : These plants love very sunny positions, which are directly exposed to sunrays even for many hours a day.
These plants aren't rustic, but during the hot months they can be grown outdoors without any problems.

mediterranean : These plants can be placed in a very bright place, possibly sunny, directly under the solar rays for a few hours a day.
These plants can be grown outdoors without problems in the summer; during the cold months they should instead be sheltered by the frost.

continental : The Thymus vulgaris needs very frequent watering; during this period of the year we advise watering even every 1-2 weeks using 1,5 litres of water, trying to keep the substratum always slightly damp.

alpine : We advise frequent watering, every 2-3 weeks using 0,5 litres of water, so that the soil is always a bit humid.

mediterranean : The watering must be very regular and frequent, using 2,5 litres of water, so that the soil is always slightly damp, avoiding excesses and water stagnation. A good rule is to wet every 0-1 weeks.

Fertilize Thymus vulgaris : In this period of the year we should fertilize our aromatic plants, every 15-20 days, using a specific fertilizer for green plants, to mix to the irrigating water.

Pests Thymus vulgaris : Let’s always remember to grow our vegetables in the best way possible, to avoid the development of fungal diseases; once a month let’s act with a treatment based on sulphur and copper; during the Summer let’s use insecticides only when there are insects on the plant.
