Some herbs prefer to keep to themselves! That’s why it’s best to plant them in a separate pot. With us you will find out which specimens don’t do so well with others.
You should plant these balcony herbs alone
To ensure that no mishaps happen to you on the balcony, you should pay attention to the fact that some herbs do not mix well with others. Here are 6 loners that need a lot of space in the pot:
#1 Lovage (Maggi herb)
These plants like to be left alone in the pot because they inhibit the growth of other herbs. They need a location in full sun to partial shade. Since lovage forms quite large roots, you should also make sure that you choose a pot that is as deep as possible.
#2 Lemongrass
Asian lemongrass prefers a warm and sunny location. It prefers to enjoy this undisturbed and without any herb neighbors. In the worst case scenario, the hanging leaves of lemongrass can suffocate other plants.
#3 Turmeric
The miracle weapon of Indian cuisine can also be grown on your own balcony. It is important, however, that the turmeric plant needs a fairly warm location. By the way, you can harvest the rootstock when the plant is one meter high and then, for example, healthy ones Golden milk conjure up from it.
#4 Wormwood
Wormwood is a medicinal herb and stimulates digestion. The herb is particularly good in tea. However, if you want to grow wormwood yourself, you should avoid having neighbors, as the bitter herb prefers to stay alone.
#5 Laurel
You can also plant a laurel tree alone in a pot to place it on your balcony or terrace. You can harvest the bay leaves from May to autumn. The older the bush, the more aromatic it tastes.
#6 Mint
This herb actually doesn’t get along well with other labiate plants such as basil, rosemary, thyme, oregano or sage and is therefore better planted alone.
