Micromeria, a diverse genus, typically thrives in well-drained soil and full to partial sun. Water moderately, allowing for soil to partially dry out between applications. It prefers cooler temperatures; exposure to extreme heat or cold can cause harm. Common challenges include susceptibility to root rot from overwatering and pest infestation, such as mealybugs or spider mites. Seasonally, mild winters are preferable, with protection required in harsh conditions. As the growing season comes during spring-summer, it requires extra care then, such as regular pruning to evade overgrowth.
