How often should mint be watered?

Mint likes warm and humid environment and is not drought-resistant. Be careful not to let the soil be too dry, especially water it more during its growth period. The most suitable temperature for its growth is between 25 degrees and 30 degrees. If the water and fertilizer supply are appropriate, the higher the temperature, the faster the mint will grow.

How often should you water your mint?

Mint planted in a flowerpot can be watered according to the dryness and wetness of the soil. In seasons with high temperatures and the soil is easy to dry out, it can be watered 1-2 times a day. In seasons with low temperatures and the soil is not easy to dry out, it can be watered according to the soil drying time, generally once every 3 days, depending on the actual situation.

Each time you water, you must water thoroughly. Pay attention to watering all along the edge of the flowerpot, based on the water leakage from the drainage holes at the bottom of the flowerpot. Therefore, there is no fixed amount of watering for mint each time. Just observe the water and water it in time.

What kind of water is good for mint?

It is best to use rainwater or river water to water mint. If you only have tap water, you can put it in a container such as a bucket or water tank, leave it for a few days or expose it to the sun before use. This will allow the chlorine in the water to evaporate and reduce harm to the plants.

Tips for watering mint

If it is newly planted mint, watering should be concentrated in the early and middle stages. This is beneficial to the growth of roots and the luxuriance of branches and leaves. In the later stages, water should be controlled appropriately to avoid the crazy growth of the plant, which can lead to lodging and reduced yields. The most important thing to pay attention to is the water quality and temperature. It is best to use river water or rainwater for watering, and the water temperature should be close to room temperature.
