# Hey Y’all. I’ve been babysitting my mom’s thyme plant for the last…

_Gepostet von Katie am 2024-03-23_

Hey Y’all. I’ve been babysitting my mom’s thyme plant for the last few weeks. She apologized that it wasn’t in the best shape and wasn’t sure what was going on with it. She’s a pretty thorough person, so not neglect. Anyway, I’ve fed it twice hoping to nurture it to better health, but it is still so dry, despite being cared for. There is a little bit of healthy growth here and there, but mostly, anytime I come near it, dried leaves fall off. Thoughts? Should I prune it way back? I’m making soup right now, so I plan to cut some…

I’m definitely not a pro but I had a similar issue with my outdoor rosemary and I trimmed a bunch back before I saw any new green growth this spring. Not sure if it’s similar for indoor herbs though?

Thanks for your input! I’ll do that and see what happens.
