Watering is crucial to the growth of aromatic plants. It's important to water regularly, but not excessively, as over-moist soil can encourage the development of disease. Watering frequency depends on plant type, climate and soil. In general, we recommend watering once a week in summer and every 10 days in winter. Use a fine-spouted watering can to avoid flooding the leaves, and prefer room-temperature water to cold water. Don't hesitate to add a natural fertilizer every month to stimulate the growth of your aromatic plants.
