Instructions d'entretien

Lemon balm thrives in moderate temperatures and prefers bright, indirect light. It should be watered when the soil partially dries out, and it benefits from moderate humidity. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages new growth.

Sol

Lemon balm prefers well-draining loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Ensure the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.

Engrais

Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-5. Fertilize the plant every few weeks during the growing season to promote healthy growth.

Rempotage

Repot lemon balm every 1-2 years or when it outgrows its current pot. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage, and refresh the soil to provide new nutrients.

Propagation

Lemon balm can be propagated through seed, cuttings, or division. The best time to propagate is in the spring or early summer. For cuttings, take a healthy stem and root it in water or moist soil.

Taille

Prune lemon balm regularly to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves and trim back the plant after flowering to prevent it from becoming leggy.

Toxicité

Lemon balm is non-toxic to pets and humans. It is safe to grow in households with animals and children.

Supplémentaire

Lemon balm can be used in a variety of culinary dishes and herbal remedies. It is known for its calming effects and is often used in teas to promote relaxation and reduce stress.
