Does mint need to be watered every day?

Do you water mint every day?

Mint likes moisture and has high requirements for water. It needs to be watered every day, but the specific frequency of watering depends on the season. Generally, it can be watered once a day in spring, summer and autumn to keep the soil moist, and in winter it can be watered once every three days.

There is generally no fixed time to water mint, but it is best to avoid the high temperature period at noon. Generally, rainwater or river water is used for watering. If it is tap water, it needs to be left for a few days before use.

How to water mint correctly

1. Watering newly planted mint: Newly planted mint needs to be watered thoroughly once, which can help the plant fix its root system, and then the plant can be placed in a ventilated and cool place for maintenance.

2. Watering of repotted mint: The mint that has just been repotted needs to be watered immediately, but do not water too much each time, and do not allow water to accumulate in the soil.

3. Routine maintenance and watering: During high temperature periods, water the mint once in the morning and once in the evening to prevent the plant from dying due to drought. Also check the soil moisture before watering.

4. Watering principles: When watering mint, you must adhere to the principle of "don't water unless the soil is dry, and water thoroughly when you do", especially during the peak growth period, and the plant must not be allowed to lack water.

Overwatering of mint

If mint is watered too much, it is easy to have phenomena such as excessive growth, yellow leaves, and root rot. At this time, you need to drain the water from the flowerpot in time and wait until the roots are dry before replanting. After the plant recovers, you need to pay attention to water control and adhere to the principle of "watering when dry and watering when wet" every time.
