How to plant mint seeds? Sowing time and method

Mint seed planting time

Mint seeds are generally sown in spring or autumn every year, specifically in March-April or September-October. The climate environment in these two time periods is more suitable for growth and is conducive to seed germination. The climate environment in summer and winter is relatively extreme and not conducive to sowing.

How to Plant Mint Seeds

1. Prepare seeds: Before sowing mint, you need to choose a good variety and prepare plump, healthy and full seeds, and then germinate them. This can increase the speed of germination. If you sow directly, the germination rate will not be very high.

2. Prepare the soil: Although mint does not have high requirements for soil, it is best to use loam that is deep, loose, fertile, and rich in organic matter. You can mix leaf mold and sandy soil.

3. Sowing: Before sowing mint, the soil needs to be sprayed wet, and then the seeds can be evenly spread on the surface of the soil with appropriate spacing. You can cover it with a small amount of soil and a layer of film.

Mint daily management precautions

When caring for mint, you need to pay attention to the appropriate lighting environment, regular topdressing and watering, and proper tillage and weeding during the seedling stage to prevent weeds from competing for nutrients too much. After growing for a period of time, you can transplant and maintain it.
