Instrucciones de cuidado
Lemon verbena thrives in bright, direct sunlight and requires moderate temperatures. It prefers a humid environment but can tolerate average household humidity levels. Water the plant when the top layer of soil feels dry, and ensure it has good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.Suelo
Lemon verbena prefers well-draining loamy soil. A mix of garden soil with some sand and organic matter works well. Ensure the soil is not waterlogged to prevent root rot.Fertilizante
Use a balanced fertilizer with an N-P-K ratio of 5-5-5 during the growing season. Fertilize every 4-6 weeks to promote healthy growth.Trasplante
Repot lemon verbena every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage. Repot in the spring before the growing season begins.Propagación
Lemon verbena can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take cuttings in late spring or early summer, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, and plant in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the soil moist and provide bright, indirect light until roots develop.Poda
Prune lemon verbena regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Prune in early spring before new growth starts and remove any dead or damaged branches.Toxicidad
Lemon verbena is not toxic to pets or humans. However, consuming large quantities of the leaves may cause mild stomach upset.Adicional
Lemon verbena can be grown both indoors and outdoors. If growing indoors, ensure it receives plenty of light and good air circulation. Outdoors, it can be planted in the garden or in containers. Protect the plant from frost during the winter months.REVOLUCIONE EL CUIDADO DE SUS PLANTAS
