When planting mint, try to choose a clay pot with good air permeability and sandy soil with good drainage and ventilation. Before planting, the soil should be exposed to the sun for a few days. This can kill bacteria and parasites in the soil. Then pour the soil into the clay pot and water the soil in the pot appropriately to make the soil looser.

3. Planting

Place the sprouted mint seedlings on the loosened soil surface. The seedlings should not be too close together and there should be some distance between them. Then sprinkle a layer of planting soil on the seedlings and water them in small amounts to keep the breeding soil moist at all times. Finally, place them in a sunny and semi-shaded environment and wait for the seedlings to grow.
