• Soil – Use well-draining, sandy, and loamy soil for planting thyme. It is a drought-resistant herb, so it hates wet conditions and performs best in soils with low nutrients. Remember that thyme should not be planted in rich, and moist soil.
• Water – Since thyme is a drought-resistant plant, water only when the soil is completely dry, too much water can cause fungal diseases and root rot.
• Sunlight – Thyme thrives in full sunlight in a sunny location which should be at least 6-8 hours. However, it can tolerate a hot climate. You can also grow thyme indoors on a sunny windowsill.
• Temperature – Thyme plants grow best in air temperatures between 18-30°c.
• Common pests and diseases – Thyme plants are not infected with any serious problems, but the plants usually suffer from root rot which is caused by moist soil conditions or overwatering.
