Lemon Verbena - Aloysia citrodora
Location

Indoor or outdoor • Sunny balcony • Herb garden

Lighting

Full sun • Minimum of 6 hours of direct light

Watering

Regular • Allow top layer to dry between waterings

Care Level

Moderate • Requires protection from frost

Growing Conditions
Light: Full sun, minimum of 6 hours of direct light per day. Shade will cause weak growth and a decrease in scent and flavor.
Watering: Regular during the growing season - keep soil moist but not wet. Allow the top layer (2-3 cm) to dry between waterings. Reduce in winter.
Soil: Well-drained and rich in organic matter. Recommended pH: 6.0-7.5. Use potting mix with perlite and compost.
Temperature: Loves heat! Sensitive to frost - must be protected below 4°C. Deciduous - sheds leaves in winter (this is normal!). Bring indoors or mulch before frost.
Fertilization: Balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring-autumn). Avoid over-fertilizing.
Common Problems
🍂 Winter leaf drop

A natural phenomenon! The plant is deciduous and sheds its leaves. Don't throw it away - it will wake up in the spring.

🥀 Leggy, weak growth

Lack of light! Move to a brighter location with direct sun.

🦟 Aphids and whiteflies

Spray with a soap solution or horticultural oil. Ensure good ventilation.

Overwatering. Ensure proper drainage and let the soil dry between waterings.

Pro Tip

Don't panic when the lemon verbena sheds its leaves in winter - it looks like a dry stick but it is perfectly fine! Wait until late spring before deciding to discard it, as it is a late waker. Prune boldly in the spring when you see new buds - this will encourage denser growth and more fragrant leaves. The leaves retain their scent even when dried, so it's worth drying a supply for the winter!

Regular watering during the growing season - keep the soil moist but not wet, and let the top layer dry out between waterings. Reduce in winter.
