Harvesting Your Thyme at the Right Time
To enjoy a continuous supply of aromatic thyme, timing is key. When your thyme reaches around 6 inches tall, it’s the perfect moment to harvest. Clip the sprigs carefully—make your cuts just above the woody base. This method not only protects the plant but also leaves enough stem for healthy regrowth, ensuring that your thyme becomes bushier and more resilient over time.

Troubleshooting Common Thyme Growing Issues

Thyme is susceptible to root rot when it receives too much water—especially in containers with poor drainage. To protect your thyme, allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings and use a well-draining potting mix. This practice not only helps prevent root decay but also encourages a healthy, vibrant root system that supports robust growth.
