How to grow mint

1. Soil

Mint is a very popular grass plant. We can plant it in the ground or in pots at home. For ground planting, we can choose land with good drainage and sufficient light. For potted planting, we can choose to place the potted mint in a well-lit place, and it is best if it can receive light all day. The soil prepared for it should be as fertile as possible. Mint can grow in poor soil, but it will grow more luxuriantly with sufficient fertilizer.

2. Watering

Another thing to note is watering. Water when the soil is dry and water thoroughly. Do not water too much when the soil is wet. Adequate water supply is the basic guarantee for the vigorous growth of mint.

3. Maintenance

During the maintenance process, we should pay attention to timely pinching or topping of mint, cut the branches at our ideal height, prevent it from growing too high, and encourage it to sprout side branches, so that it is easy to achieve the effect of overflowing the pot. During the maintenance process of potted mint, it is best to change the pot once a year and replace it with new soil. This will meet its normal growth needs and facilitate its ideal growth.
