Not all plants are suitable for growing indoors. Fortunately, this does not apply to lemon balm.

An expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh told what needs to be done in order to grow fragrant greenery on your windowsill.

To do this, you will first need planting material - you can take seeds or ready-made bushes.

What about fertilizing? For unpretentious lemon balm, fertilizing 2-3 times a year will be enough.

And the plant does not have any special requirements for watering: it is enough to moisten the soil in the pot every 3-4 days.

The problem with lighting is no longer a problem - medicinal lemon balm does not get lost in the shade and does not require long daylight hours.

The only nuance that you may encounter in the process of growing lemon balm is that it needs to be trimmed. If for some reason you do not pay due attention to this procedure, be prepared for the plant to take up the entire windowsill.

That's all you need to know for those who would like to grow a bush of aromatic lemon balm at home in order to add its leaves to tea and forget about such problems as chronic lack of sleep and nervousness.
