Mint repotting and precautions

Steps to repotting mint

1. Place for changing pots

Mint likes sunlight and needs sufficient light to grow, so it must be placed in a sunny place during cultivation. If there is insufficient sunlight during the cultivation process, the mint will easily grow too tall, and the leaves will not grow big, which will make the plant particularly thin.

Therefore, when repotting, you should also do it in a sunny place.

2. Sufficient water

When repotting, be sure to water the plant before taking it out and putting it in another pot. The soil in that pot should also be moist.

After repotting, remember to water the plant to replenish the water lost during repotting, and then place it in a place with sufficient light.

3. How often to change pots

Mint should be repotted every spring or autumn, and fertile and soft soil should be used when repotting;

Regular pruning is also required to keep the plants growing healthily.

Notes on repotting mint

1. Pay attention to ventilation

After the mint is repotted, it must be placed in a ventilated place on the balcony for maintenance. This will allow the plant to carry out aerobic respiration to prevent the plant from stopping growing due to poor breathing.

2. Pay attention to watering

Water the mint immediately after repotting, but don't water too much. Be careful not to let water accumulate, otherwise it will damage the roots and cause root rot, which will then cause leaf damage, yellowing, and wilting.

3. Pay attention to the method of changing pots

Mint only needs to be repotted once a year. Do not repot frequently, otherwise the nutrients needed by the plant will be lost.

When repotting, be sure to keep the soil around the roots.

Also pay attention to maintenance when repotting, ensure sufficient light, take care of it on time, and prune poorly growing branches.
