1. Peppermint
- Light: Peppermint grows best in partial sunlight, so place it in a spot where it gets some light but isn’t exposed to intense direct sunlight.
- Watering: Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Peppermint likes regular watering but make sure the pot has good drainage.
- Soil: Use well-draining potting soil. Peppermint grows well in slightly acidic to neutral soil.
- Pruning: Regularly trim the plant to encourage bushy growth and prevent it from getting leggy.
2. Lavender
- Light: Lavender loves sunlight! Place it in a spot where it can receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day.
- Watering: Lavender prefers dry conditions. Water only when the soil is almost completely dry, and ensure the pot has excellent drainage.
- Soil: Use sandy or well-draining soil. Lavender doesn’t like overly rich or moist soil.
- Pruning: Prune lavender after it blooms to maintain its shape and promote new growth.
3. Citronella (Lemongrass)
- Light: Citronella needs full sun to grow well, so place it in a bright spot.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially in warm weather, but ensure the pot drains well to prevent waterlogging.
- Soil: Well-draining, loamy soil works best for citronella.
- Pruning: Trim dead leaves and stems regularly to keep the plant healthy and vibrant.
