Can mint be grown hydroponically?

Mint can be grown hydroponically, and the branches of mint grown hydroponically will grow faster and produce more roots than those grown in soil. After hydroponics, you need to pay attention to more ventilation, increase light, and maintain a certain air humidity.

Methods and key points of hydroponic cultivation of mint

1. Choose branches

For hydroponic mint, generally choose strong, disease-free branches, wash them with clean water and then hydroponically cultivate them. It is best to use tap water that has been dried in the sun for more than two days.

2. Carry out hydroponics

Place the mint branches in the prepared container, then gradually add water to it. The water level should at least cover one branch node. Then place it in a bright environment for maintenance, but be careful not to expose it to direct sunlight.

Precautions for growing mint in water

1. When mint is first grown in hydroponics, its leaves may wither. In this case, you can place it in a cool and ventilated place for maintenance, and then spray some water mist on the surface of the leaves, so that it will recover quickly.

2. When mint is grown in water, the water needs to be changed regularly. During the plant's vigorous growth period, the water should be changed every two days to prevent the water quality from deteriorating.
