Growing Guide: 1. Sowing Seeds Indoors: Start broadleaf thyme seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date. Sprinkle seeds on the surface of seed-starting mix and press them lightly. Do not cover as seeds need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C). Seeds typically germinate within 10-14 days. Provide 12-16 hours of light daily for strong growth. 2. Transplanting to Garden or Containers: Transplant seedlings outdoors after hardening them off and once all danger of frost has passed. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Space plants 12-18 inches apart for full growth. 3. Growing and Maintenance: Water regularly, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings. Broadleaf thyme prefers slightly dry, well-drained soil. Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer once during the growing season to support healthy growth. Pinch back growing tips to encourage bushy growth and prevent legginess. 4. Harvesting: Harvest leaves throughout the growing season. Pick leaves in the morning for the most potent flavor. Use fresh or dry leaves for teas, cooking, and natural remedies. 5. Indoor Growing: Broadleaf thyme grows well indoors in containers. Place pots in a sunny spot, and water sparingly to prevent root rot. Enhance your garden with the distinctive flavor and fragrance of Broadleaf Thyme (Plectranthus amboinicus) and enjoy its robust, versatile leaves in your favorite dishes and teas!
