Winter Savory prefers consistent moisture when young but becomes drought-tolerant once established. Water deeply when the top 2-3 cm of soil feels dry to the touch, especially during prolonged dry spells. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot. Reduce watering significantly in winter or during dormant periods.

Prune Winter Savory in late spring or early summer to encourage bushier growth and prevent legginess. Trim back about one-third of the plant, focusing on removing older, woody stems. Regular harvesting of leaves also acts as a form of pruning. A hard prune in early spring can rejuvenate older plants.

Winter Savory can be propagated from seeds, cuttings, or by division. Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Take 10-15 cm stem cuttings in late spring or early summer, remove lower leaves, and root in moist potting mix. Divide mature plants in spring or autumn.

Repot Winter Savory every 2-3 years, or when it becomes root-bound, typically in spring. Choose a pot only slightly larger than the previous one, ensuring it has good drainage. Use a well-draining potting mix. Gently loosen the roots, place the plant in the new pot, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after repotting.
