Mint is known as the lazy person's herb, with a very low difficulty level to grow and basically no management needed. Propagation is also very simple; just pinch off a stem and you can grow a whole big pot.

Mint can be propagated by cuttings or by sowing seeds. Usually, if we see that the mint stems are relatively thick and the color is dark green or dark purple, that means it was grown from cuttings.

No matter what plant it is, watering must be done in moderation. Mint is a plant that quite likes water, so during mint's growing season we can water a bit more appropriately, then place it in a ventilated spot. This keeps mint's leaves looking fresh and lovely, and also prevents water from accumulating at the roots, which would stop mint from growing.

For mint cuttings, be sure to choose a relatively sturdy stem. Using scissors, cut a section of stem from the mother mint plant, about 10cm in length, and it is fine if the stem has 3 nodes.

This plant, mint, is also grown in many homes, not only because mint's fragrance is pleasant and gives people a refreshing feeling after smelling it, but also because growing it at home is a bonus for friends who get carsick. Before riding in a car, we can pick some mint and carry it with us, and after getting in the car, take a sniff, which can effectively reduce the effects of carsickness.
