How to grow mint well

1. Watering

Mint likes water very much. Sufficient water can make its new leaves more tender. You can also spray water on the leaves to ensure its water absorption. Just use a spray bottle to spray directly above it. There is no need to water the roots. If the leaves are dense, water more; if there are fewer leaves, water less.

2. "Shaving"

You can "shave" the mint to help the side buds grow. When "shaving", do not cut off all the old leaves at once. Keep enough nutrients for the growth of new leaves. Wait until the new leaves grow out before cutting off the old leaves. If the "shaving" is severe, it will cause it to grow slowly.

3. Repotting

In order for it to grow better, it needs to be repotted once every spring. Before repotting, fertile, well-drained soil should be prepared. The substrate can be made of leaf mold, garden soil or coarse sand. Many plants can be separated when repotting every year, and the moisture of the potting soil must be guaranteed.

4. Pruning

Generally, old leaves have no fragrance and should be cut off. Proper pinching and topping can help it grow better. Timely pruning can control its growth height and promote the germination of new buds. After pruning, water and fertilize appropriately. Because mint likes ventilation, place it in a well-ventilated place after pruning.
