Water: Bergamot thrives in humid environments, needing consistent moisture and evenly moist soil. Water weekly to prevent dryness or waterlogging. As an herbaceous perennial, mulching is beneficial for moisture retention and temperature regulation, essential for vigorous growth and blooming.
Propagation: Bergamot can be propagated through seeds, cuttings, division, or tissue culture, with division being the easiest method. Key growth factors include appropriate light, warmth, and well-draining soil. While propagation is moderately challenging due to sensitivity to overwatering and fungal diseases, careful management yields a high success rate.
