Gardeners swap tips for overwintering lemon verbena indoors

A gardener is asking for help keeping a lemon verbena alive through the winter indoors, saying the plant does fine until about February, when it suffers a dramatic near-death collapse caused by spider mites. Their usual approach is to find a good spot and water regularly, but it is not enough late in the season. People are sharing advice on humidity, mite control and winter care for the herb.
Why now: Indoor overwintering struggles, especially late-winter spider mite outbreaks, are a common and relatable problem for gardeners at this time of year.
