How to grow the catnip plant

1. Soil requirements

When cultivating this kind of plant, the loam must be as loose as possible, with good drainage and a certain amount of nutrition suitable for growth. Note that compacted and heavy soil is not suitable for planting.

2. Sunshine Gives

Because it is a foliage plant, it is very important to supplement sunlight. It needs to be exposed to sunlight frequently to satisfy photosynthesis and promote the growth of thicker leaves. If it grows in a dark environment for a long time, the leaves of the plant will become very thin and its ornamental value will be reduced.

3. Apply moisture

It cannot tolerate waterlogging. On the basis of ensuring the permeability of the loam, do not water it too much. Just give it an appropriate amount of water. It is better to water it less rather than too much, otherwise it will cause yellow leaves, root rot, etc. During the growth period, apply a little more.

4. Apply nutrients

The nutrient requirements are not very high because of its strong adaptability, so even during the growth period, there is no need to apply too much nutrient, just twice a month is enough.

5. Temperature guarantee

It is not cold-resistant, and its growth will be restricted when the temperature drops below 10 degrees Celsius in winter, so it should be moved indoors for maintenance in winter.
