How to grow mint in summer

Adequate lighting

Mint is a light-loving plant. Summer is its peak growth period. Adequate sunlight on the mint leaves is very beneficial to the growth of the plant. Even if the temperature is high, there is no need to worry. Never shade it on your own, as that will be detrimental to the health of the plant.

Moisture Management

Mint also likes water. The high temperature, high humidity and high evaporation in summer are the best climate for mint to grow. At this time, sufficient water supply is needed, generally watering every day, or once every other day. If the potting soil has good drainage, you can water it more. If the potting soil has poor drainage, you need to judge according to the moisture level of the soil and just avoid causing waterlogging.

Soil environment

Mint likes a fertile soil environment. If you want it to grow more perfectly during the peak growing season in summer, you can add some organic fertilizer appropriately, so that your mint will grow more beautifully.

Pinching to promote growth

Many flowers will grow too fast and have branches and leaves that grow too long during their growth period, so flower lovers need to be more diligent and do more pinching operations. This way, the mint grown will not grow too long and will achieve the beautiful effect of overflowing the pot. What's more, the picked leaves will not be wasted, but can be used directly for making tea and serving food, which is delicious and beautiful.
