How to grow lemon balm

1. Breeding environment

Lemon balm does not have high soil requirements and has strong adaptability, but it is best to use slightly acidic soil for cultivation. It likes a humid growing environment and is very cold-resistant, so there is no need to worry about frost damage even if it is grown in winter. It can grow in full sun and semi-shade environments.

2. Breeding Methods

1. Cutting propagation: Use 5 cm terminal buds for cuttings. After cutting, insert them into suitable soil. It has a high survival rate and can be transplanted in about 15-20 days.

2. Seed propagation: Its seeds are very small, so do not sow too deep, about 12 mm is enough. There is no need to cover the soil after sowing. It takes about 15-30 days for it to germinate. It is best to sow it indoors and transplant it once it matures.

3. Common pests and diseases

Common diseases of lemon balm include leaf spot disease, underground insects, etc. Large-scale planting requires timely prevention and control of diseases and pests. Once discovered, spray with pesticides in time.
