Balsam Peppermint tolerates the most extreme temperatures but is still good to save under shade net during May and June. Direct sunlight may cause the plants to wilt or dry out, which can significantly reduce their growth and flowering. In contrast, during the cooler months, especially in winter (November to February), balsam can continue to thrive outdoors as long as the temperature remains above 15°C.

Balsam Peppermint Rainfall and Humidity

Balsam Peppermint requires a lot of moisture for its growth. In most parts of India, tropical climate conditions support an adequate level of humidity and rainfall during the monsoon season and are thus good for balsam cultivation. However, overrainfall in certain flood-prone areas may prove damaging to the plant due to root rot as it promotes drainage if not handled properly.

The humidity level should be moderate in order for balsam plants to grow appropriately. In dry and lower humidity, the plant growth will be slow. As a rule, some moisture should be present in the air or the area classified under dry climates, which necessitates misting or the use of humidifiers.

Balsam Peppermint Soil and Fertility

Balsam thrives well in soil with good fertility and drainage. It grows well in slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH range of 6.0 to 7.0. Heavy, clayey soils can limit root development, so loamy or sandy soil is ideal for this plant. Balsams also benefit from organic matter, so mixing compost into the soil before planting can enhance growth. Fertilization is important for maintaining the plant’s vibrant blooms.

Balsam Peppermint Watering Needs

Let the soil dry out between watering to save from fungus. The soil should therefore be moist but not soggy during the dry months. It may need to be watered more often if it does not receive frequent rainfall during this period.

Balsam Peppermint Seasonal Factors

Balsam can be grown in India in the early rainy season June when monsoon showers come in with great wealth, and the soil becomes moist. It should not be grown only in enough space but also facilitated to provide adequate circulation of air. Thus, there would be fungal diseases due to inadequate air circulation.

Balsam growing in India requires an understanding of its requirement for warmth, moisture, and well-draining soil. This plant, when given proper care, can be the most beautiful splash of color in gardens and indoors.
