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.

💧 Root rot

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

Special Benefits

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!
