Anbautipps

Harvest just before flowering when essential oil concentration peaks; cut stems to 5 cm above ground to encourage regrowth.

Replace plants every 3-4 years as they become woody and less productive; start new plants from cuttings of vigorous stems.

Avoid overhead irrigation; thyme is highly susceptible to fungal diseases in humid, poorly ventilated conditions.
