Lemon balm, aka Melissa officinalis, is a perennial herb that belongs to the mint family. Native to the Mediterranean region, it is also cultivated in many parts of the world. A culinary staple that possesses medicinal and ornamental purposes, lemon balm can grow up to 2 to 3 feet in height. Characterized by its bright green, oval-shaped leaves, its mild lemon scent awakens the senses. Beyond its leaves, the plant produces small white flowers, pale pink flowers, or purple flowers in the summer —the perfect centerpiece for your indoor abode.

Eliminate leaves that show brown spots. Conduct a monthly inspection of the roots, trimming those that are either brown or protruding beyond the yPod.
Regular harvesting extends the lifespan of the plant. Remove single leaves by pinching or use sanitized shears to snip stems above the growth nodes. When the plant attains a height of 10 inches, start trimming the more substantial outer leaves. For continuous growth, make sure to harvest no more than one-third of the plant’s height at once.

Are you eager to start your own indoor garden? Follow these simple steps to ensure a successful planting process. With proper plant care, love, and attention, you can enjoy the fresh aroma and nutritional benefits of this delightful herb within a matter of a few weeks. Here’s all our tips to properly maintain your lemon balm.
Choose a container that is at least 8-10 inches deep and has sufficient drainage holes at the bottom. If you’re using the Gardyn Home Kit, the pods (also known as “yCubes”) provided by Gardyn are an excellent choice as these pre-seeded planters make the gardening process a breeze while ensuring optimal growth conditions.
Fill the container with a well-draining potting mix. Ensure the mix is suitable for herbs and provides good aeration for the roots. If you have a Gardyn Home Kit, simply insert your yCubes into the designated slots. The pods come with pre-measured soil and seeds, eliminating messy manual preparation.
If you’re starting from seeds, sow them directly onto the soil’s surface, gently pressing them into the soil without burying them too deep. Alternatively, if you’re using the Gardyn Home Kit, the seeds are already contained within the pods, making planting as simple as 1-2-3.
Place the container or Gardyn Home Kit in a location that receives at least six to eight hours of sunlight per day. If natural light is limited, supplement with grow lights to ensure adequate illumination. If you have limited access to natural light, consider using grow lights or alternative lighting systems to supplement the plant’s light requirements. Keep in mind that although lemon balm grows well in full sun, it also needs partial shade. A temperature between 60°F and 75°F is ideal to promote optimal growth.
To ensure your lemon balm plants thrive and provide you with an abundance of aromatic leaves, it’s crucial to treat them right. From watering and pruning to fertilizing, here’s everything you need to know about tending correctly to your lemon balm plants:
When it comes to lemon balm, harvesting and utilizing its aromatic leaves is a delightful experience. Not only does it add a burst of citrusy fragrance to your home, but it also offers a multitude of uses, whether it’s for cooking, decorating, or creating refreshing beverages.
Harvest your lemon balm in the morning when the essential oils are at their peak concentration. Choose mature leaves: These are fully developed and will provide optimal flavor and a punch of aroma. Harvest lemon balm leaves anytime once your plant reaches 6 to 8 inches in height. With sharp scissors or pruning shears, snip the individual leaves or cut the stems just above a leaf node, leaving enough growth for the plant to continue thriving.
Are you unsure of how to use lemon balm? Its versatility extends beyond its aromatic leaves as the associated soothing properties make it a popular ingredient in natural remedies: simply add lemon balm to your teas, and aromatherapy products. It is believed to promote relaxation, relieve stress, and enhance sleep quality.
Additional tip: If you have an abundance of leaves, you can dry them by hanging them upside down in a well-ventilated area and store them in an airtight container for future use.
