🪴 Nutrients

How to fertilize English Thyme

Nutrient, fertilizer, and repotting needs for English Thyme: repot after 2X growth

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your English Thyme after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Augustus is a bit dirty. So this is a small english thyme plant ive cut a small piece off of my big one "Big Ben" if you want to see it in my oasis anyway i took the leaves off the lower part and planted it its been doing fine its been there for weeks and isnt dead so thats what leads me to think that its rooted anyway, the leaves are dusty i dont know how else to explain it, it looks like it has dirt on the leaves yet it doesnt come off, the pot its in is about 1.5 inches deep and 1⅓ inches wide at the top and .90 of an inch at the bottom roughly so its a small pot for a small plant i water it with 100ml a day (one full syringe cause i dont wanna water it with a big tea jug like the others lol) is this caused by a pest maybe or am i overwatering it i cant be underwatering it Also this pot has no drainage
