Pflegehinweise
Bee balm requires regular watering to keep the soil evenly moist. It thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers moderate temperatures. The plant benefits from high humidity and should be protected from extreme heat. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages new growth.Boden
Bee balm prefers well-draining loamy soil that retains moisture but does not become waterlogged. A soil mix rich in organic matter is ideal. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.Dünger
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 10-10-10. Fertilize the plant in early spring and mid-summer to support its growth and flowering. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers.Umtopfen
Repot bee balm every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Gently remove the plant from its current pot, loosen the roots, and place it in the new pot with fresh soil.Vermehrung
Bee balm can be propagated through division or stem cuttings. Divide the plant in early spring or fall by separating the root clumps. Stem cuttings can be taken in late spring or early summer and rooted in a moist growing medium.Beschneidung
Prune bee balm in early spring to remove dead or damaged stems and to shape the plant. Deadhead spent flowers throughout the growing season to encourage continuous blooming. Cut back the plant to the ground after the first frost in late fall.Toxizität
Bee balm is not toxic to pets or humans. It is safe to grow in gardens where pets and children are present. The leaves and flowers are often used in herbal teas and remedies.Zusätzlich
Bee balm is known for attracting pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making it a great addition to pollinator gardens. It also has medicinal properties and has been used traditionally to treat colds and digestive issues.REVOLUTIONIEREN SIE IHRE PFLANZENPFLEGE
