Well-draining sandy loam or cactus mix with added perlite for aeration
Allow soil to dry completely between waterings, drought tolerant once established, reduce watering in winter dormancy
Requires full sun exposure for best growth and oil production, tolerates some shade but may become leggy
Apply balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring, avoid over-fertilizing which reduces aromatic oil quality
Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushiness, harvest branches for dried arrangements
