How to water mint

Growth habit

Mint is a typical perennial herb that likes warmth and has a strong adaptability to temperature. It also prefers light and adequate water. The only delicate thing about it is that it is quite demanding on the soil.

Watering management

In the hot summer climate, evaporation will naturally increase, and 80% of plants will require a lot of water, including mint. If the owner neglects to manage it at this time, the mint leaves may die of thirst due to lack of water. Therefore, the owner must water it once every morning and evening in hot weather to ensure that the mint leaves absorb sufficient water and grow green and tender.

This method is only suitable for mint placed in a place with strong and long light in summer. If the mint is placed in a cool indoor environment for viewing, you must check whether the soil in the pot is moist even in summer to avoid excessive watering, which will be difficult for the plant to absorb and cause waterlogging.

In winter, the temperature is relatively low, and the plant's water absorption rate is relatively poor. In addition, the evaporation rate is reduced, so mint does not require the owner to pay too much attention to water management. If the flowerpot is not dry, there is no need to water it. Just wait until the mint sprouts new buds in the spring of next year and then strengthen management.
