1. Maintenance methods1. Temperature: Generally speaking, a temperature between 15 and 28 degrees is more suitable because it likes warmth. However, it has good tolerance to both high and low temperatures. It can tolerate temperatures as high as 40 degrees Celsius in summer and as low as minus 20 degrees Celsius in winter. However, if it is a seedling, the temperature cannot be lower than minus six degrees. 2. Light: The leaves cannot carry out photosynthesis without sunlight, but the light should not be too strong. It is better to place it in a place with scattered light. Once there is strong light, you can move it to a semi-shaded place. 3. Watering: Peppermint likes moisture. If it is too dry, it will cause its leaves to wither and other adverse symptoms. Therefore, it needs to be kept moist during the growth period, but not too moist. It is not suitable if there is stagnant water. In addition to normal watering in summer, you can also spray some water. 4. Fertilization: Peppermint requires very little fertilizer and has strong adaptability. Generally speaking, in addition to base fertilizer, top dressing is only required once every one or two months. 2. Breeding techniques1. Reproduction: It can be propagated by sowing, but the process may be troublesome. Sandy soil can be used as the substrate and the "pot sowing" method can be adopted. Lightly sprinkle the selected seeds on the substrate and cover with a thin layer of soil. After that, the temperature needs to be above 20 degrees, and then 10 degrees must also be guaranteed, which can promote their germination faster. 2. Pruning: During the growth period, it grows vigorously, so the branches and leaves will appear more vigorous, and sometimes very messy. Especially for peppermint planted in large areas, it will affect light transmission and ventilation, so if it is too dense, it needs to be repaired in time. Then, the dry branches and leaves should be cut off in time. 3. Problem diagnosis and treatment1. Diseases: Peppermint does not have too many diseases because it has relatively good resistance. "Anthracnose" occasionally occurs, which is prone to occur in conditions of poor ventilation and high temperature. Just spray the medicine and treat the diseased areas in time. 2. Pests: Overall, there are not too many. You can spray pesticides in advance for prevention and take timely countermeasures when they appear. IV. Other issues1. Toxicity: It is not poisonous and was used as a condiment when grown in Europe. 2. Can it be raised at home? Yes, its color gives people a comfortable feeling and makes people feel relaxed and happy. |
