How to divide mint into pots, divide plants, and transplant them into pots. When and how to do it?

When to divide mint

Generally speaking, the best time to divide mint into pots is in spring or autumn every year. During this period, the plants grow more vigorously and faster, which can help the plants survive better.

The correct way to divide mint into pots

1. Select strong branches from the thriving mint plants, trim the leaves at the bottom, keep a few leaves, and hydroponically culture the removed branches. After 3-5 days, the plants will grow new roots.

2. Move the plant that has grown new roots into the soil, place it in a cool place, keep the soil moist, and move it into the sun after a few days, giving the plant at least 6 hours of light every day.

Notes on transplanting mint

1. When transplanting mint into different pots, be careful not to retain too many leaves when handling the branches to avoid wasting water and nutrients, and do not rush the plants that have just been transplanted into different pots to see the light.

2. It is better to use garden soil, sandy soil and mixed soil for mint pots. This kind of soil preparation retains water and fertilizer. Sandy soil has better drainage, which can prevent the plant from water retention and root rot, which is beneficial to plant growth.

3. It is normal for mint to wilt after being divided into pots. There is no need to worry. It is best to place it in a sunny and ventilated place indoors to facilitate its recovery after repotting. Spray water on the leaves every other day until the leaves are moist and no water is flowing. If it is hot, it will be better to move it outdoors at night to absorb some dew.
