Water: Satureja originates from a temperate climate and prefers moderate moisture with weekly watering. It has adapted to endure dryness and requires careful water management, aligning with its growth cycle influenced by rainfall patterns during outdoor cultivation.

Propagation: Satureja can be propagated via seeds, stem cuttings, or division. Success requires adequate light, temperatures of 15-21°C (59-70°F), and well-draining, neutral to slightly alkaline soil.
