Horehound is an herbaceous genus, known for its durability and medicinal properties. Basic care involves full sun to partial shade exposure, well-drained soil, and moderate watering, adjusted to the plant's state. Challenges can include over-watering, which leads to root rot, and susceptibility to pests such as spider mites. Seasonally, horehound requires protection from winter frosts and less frequent watering in cooler months, while ensuring enhanced ventilation and hydration during hotter periods.
