How to grow catnip

1. Breeding methods

1. Soil: Pogostemon cablin prefers loose and well-drained soil. You can prepare it yourself with peat, garden soil and perlite.

2. Light: It likes to bask in the sun. Its leaves will only grow thick in a sunny environment. If it is not exposed to light for a long time, its leaves will become flat and thin.

3. Watering: It is not tolerant to moisture. If it is too wet, it will easily cause root rot and lead to its death. Therefore, when watering, you must wait until the soil is completely dry before watering. Especially in winter, you must control the watering.

4. Fertilization: It is not tolerant to fertilizer. During the growing period, it is sufficient to apply fertilizer once a month. The fertilizers applied should mainly be phosphorus and potassium fertilizers.

5. Pruning: Because it is easy to grow branches, it is necessary to prune it regularly. Moderate pruning can promote its branching and promote healthy growth.

2. Precautions

When watering the catnip, it is better to let the soil dry out a little than to water it too much. Also, keep the plants not too dense, give it enough space to grow, and place it in a well-ventilated place.
