How to fertilize mint and what fertilizer to use

1. Fertilization time

The main time to fertilize mint is during its peak growth period, which is from spring to autumn. Furthermore, you can use some in moderation when planting. Then, after pruning, special fertilization is needed.

2. Fertilizer Types

The fertilizer used during planting is the base fertilizer in the soil. It is better to use some organic solid fertilizer. The fertilizer used during the growth period and after pruning can both be some organic liquid fertilizer, which can be purchased directly from the store, or you can use home-made fertilizer, such as that made by fermenting sesame paste and water.

3. Fertilization method

1. When planting, the base fertilizer can be directly mixed into the soil. Liquid fertilizers during the growth period and after pruning need to be diluted, and the ratio of fertilizer to water can be controlled at around 1:10. Don't use too high a concentration.

2. The frequency of fertilization can be adjusted according to the stage of the plant. When it is in the seedling stage, do not fertilize too often. After mint matures, the frequency of fertilization can be slightly higher. Generally speaking, once every half a month is sufficient. If the plant has yellow leaves or other phenomena, you can increase the frequency of fertilization appropriately.

IV. Precautions

When mint is in its dormant period, it has basically no requirements for fertilizer. Fertilization should be suspended at this time, otherwise it may cause some harm.
