How to Propagate Mint

1. Seed propagation

Prepare breathable and nutrient-rich soil. Remember to water it and keep it slightly moist. Sow the seeds in the soil. You can cover the soil with a layer of plastic wrap. Control the temperature between 21 and 25°C. The seeds will germinate after about 1 to 2 weeks.

2. Cutting propagation

Cut healthy branches from the mint plant as cuttings, about 5 to 10 cm in length, cut off the leaves at the bottom of the branch, leaving only 2 or 3 leaves on the top. Choose loose and breathable soil for cuttings, insert the cuttings into the potting soil, and keep the potting soil moist. As long as the temperature is suitable, roots will grow quickly.

3. Division propagation

The division propagation of mint is suitable for large-scale propagation. During propagation, the branches and leaves of the plant are creeping on the ground, the stem is in contact with the ground and fixed, and then normal watering and topdressing are carried out. After a period of time, new roots will grow on the branches on the ground. Each branch with roots can be cut open for transplanting.
