    It would help to add a crushed aspirin tab and honey to that water, and do this daily. This will force rooting rather quickly.

    These plants will usually benefit from a hard pruning, and a feeding once they recover. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/herbs/thyme/pruning-thyme-plants.htm

    Thyme can be pruned back at almost any time, as long as it is not hot and dry. It can benefit from yearly pruning, or even multiple prunings per year. This article will help with the care of these: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/herbs/thyme/pruning-thyme-plants.htm

    Adding organic matter such as compost will be enough to let these thrive. Thyme is quite robust, and this includes its wild counterpart. Planting this will be just like planting any other variety of thyme, with the exception that it may be more aggressive.

    There are many types of thyme and most benefit from annual pruning. In late fall, cut the plant back to an inch or two. If the plant gets leggy within one growing season, cut it back by half in mid May to mid-June. This will delay bloom by a couple of weeks but will not prevent it. Essentially, you are pinching the stems to encourage a bushier plant. Make sure thyme gets full sun and don't fertilize it. Regular garden soil is fine and too much nitrogen stimulates leggy growth. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/herbs/thyme/pruning-thyme-plants.htm

    Wooly thyme is a creeper and is low-growing. The only thyme that is potentially invasive is wild thyme as it reproduces by seed as well as creeping overground. I don't understand how a groundcover will hide an A/C unit. And it is better for the unit to have free-flow of air all around it. A screen 1-2 feet away or a trellis with a potted or in-ground vine is better for the unit.

    Yes, as with all plants, any can become invasive in the right spot. Make sure that it is not invasive in your area before planting where it will spread out of control. Before planting anything where it could potentially become a problem, be sure to research what can become invasive in your area.
