Thyme is best cultivated in a hot, sunny location with well-drained soil. It is generally planted in the spring, and thereafter grows as a perennial. It can be propagated by seed, cuttings, or dividing rooted sections of the plant. It tolerates drought well. [6] It can be pruned after flowering to keep from getting woody. [7]
Tolerance to other climatic factors are often omitted from the "hardiness" discussion. This section provides a very brief overview of the topics. Heat tolerance may be displayed alongside cold-hardiness, such as in the American Horticultural Society's "Heat Zones". See Thermoregulation § In plants and Breeding for heat stress tolerance.
The therapeutic effect of thyme is largely attributed to these essential oils belonging to the terpenoids family. [15] Thyme is considered amongst the most consequential medicinal plants due to its substantial amount of bioactive compounds. [16] Thyme has been used to treat diabetes, cold and chest infections, and coughs. [17]
Botanical Name: Solanum melongena Sun Exposure: Full sun Soil Type: Well-drained, rich Soil pH: Slightly acidic to neutral (5.5 to 6.8) Eggplants tolerate zero cold, so plant after all danger of ...
The leaves in wild creeping thyme vary from slightly glabrous (smooth) to sparsely covered in white hairs, or thickly covered on both surfaces, with the margins ciliate (hairy), or just ciliate at the base. Both growth low to the ground and leaf hairiness could be an adaptation to a cold or snowy climate, for example a mountainous habitat.
Thyme. Deer- and rabbit-resistant, thyme is a great introductory plant for those looking to start an edible garden. Not only a delicious culinary herb, this plant sprouts miniature purple blooms ...
There is a rapid cold hardening capacity found within certain insects that suggests not all insects can survive a long period of overwintering. Non-diapausing insects can sustain brief temperature shocks but often have a limit to what they can handle before the body can no longer produce enough cryoprotective components. The common fruit fly
The ability to control intercellular ice formation during freezing is critical to the survival of freeze-tolerant plants. [3] If intracellular ice forms, it could be lethal to the plant when adhesion between cellular membranes and walls occur. The process of freezing tolerance through cold acclimation is a two-stage mechanism: [4]
