Cultivation

Thyme can be propagated by sowing or cuttings, the latter being the preferred method, since a seed cultivation requires more time for plant growth and harvest.

The seeds can be planted directly in the garden, but since they are very small, the ideal is to sow in sowings and transplant them when they have four pairs of leaves. Germination of the seeds takes one to three weeks.

The propagation by cuttings, or by cut branches of healthy adult plants, it is the ideal method for producing plants that are identical to the mother plant and that will require less time to grow and to harvest. This process is reflected in cutting branches, dipping his lower half in a container with water until the roots emerge.

Later they are planted in a permanent location, or in a well kept moist pots for three or four weeks.

The spacing between the plants should generally be 15 to 20 cm.

Thyme can also be easily grown in pots and flowerbeds.
