Mint cultivation methods and precautions

1. Breeding methods

1. Soil: The requirements for soil are not very high. The soil should have good drainage, a relatively high nutrient content, be breathable, and not cause root suffocation.

2. Temperature: It prefers a warm environment. The most suitable growth temperature is between 20 and 30 degrees. It needs to be moved indoors for maintenance in winter.

3. Watering: Mint requires relatively large amounts of water during its growth period. It needs to be watered about once every fifteen days, and it needs to be watered thoroughly. The temperature is high in summer and the evaporation of water is accelerated, so it needs to be watered once a day.

4. Light: It likes light. Adequate light will promote the growth of the plant. Insufficient light will cause the plant to grow too tall. Therefore, when raising it in winter, the plant should be placed in a sunny position to receive light.

5. Fertilization: Fertilization should be applied frequently during the growing period, but thin fertilizers need to be applied. Do not apply concentrated fertilizers, otherwise it will cause burns to the roots of the plants and affect the normal growth of the plants.

2. Precautions

The roots of mint grow relatively fast, so it is necessary to repot it every six months and cut off excess branches, leaves and roots.
