How to grow mint by cuttings

1. Insertion method

1. Best time: If you want the mint cuttings to survive more easily, the timing is very important. It is best to do it in spring or autumn when the climate is stable. Hot summer and cold winter are not suitable for cuttings, but if it is done at room temperature, cuttings can be done as long as the temperature is around 15℃.

2. Choose the right branches: The branches used for cuttings should be strong and not be attacked by diseases and insects. If weak branches are used, it will be difficult for the cuttings to survive after cutting. The best length is about 10-20cm, and it would be better if it can have some roots.

3. Suitable soil: The soil to be used for cutting propagation should be loose and breathable. Heavy and sticky soil is not conducive to branch breathing and will affect rooting.

4. Cutting method: Before cutting, you must first poke a hole in the soil. If you use branches directly for cuttings, it is easy to cause damage. Insert the mint branches into the soil and fix the branches with the prepared soil. Finally, water it thoroughly.

2. Precautions

After cutting the branches for cuttings, they should be planted as soon as possible. If the interval is too long, the moisture in the branches will evaporate and they will soon wither, which will affect survival.
