When it comes to the most worthwhile potted plants to get in summer, mint is certainly among them! Mint's emerald green color is pleasing to the eye, and its refreshing fragrance lifts the spirits and clears the mind. Keeping it at home can freshen the air and even help repel mosquitoes! Mint is one of the commonly used traditional Chinese medicines. Using mint as a tea in daily life can clear the heart and brighten the eyes. It can also be grown as a potted plant on a balcony or elsewhere. It is a very easy plant to grow, so let me share with you how to grow a potted mint plant!

Let me teach you a trick to grow "mint" without spending any money; it repels mosquitoes, removes odors, and can also be used in cooking and brewed as tea!

1. Growing a pot of mint is very simple. Just cut a section of stem about 7 cm long, remove the leaves at the bottom, then soak about 3 cm of it in clean water, and place it in a warm, ventilated spot. Change the water every three days, and it will take root and sprout in less than two weeks.

2. After it sprouts and grows roots, prepare fertile, loose potting soil and place the soil directly around the mint stem that is full of roots. Choose a plastic pot with many drainage holes as the container to ensure good drainage.

3. One week after transplanting the mint into soil, expose it to light, keep the potting soil slightly moist, and keep the environment ventilated, so the mint can maintain vigorous growth.

4. When the mint stems grow to more than 10 cm, pinch off the tops, which can encourage the mint to produce more branches. After the branches grow longer, prune them again, and the cut stems can continue to be propagated.

So, isn't it simple? You can easily grow a pot of fresh mint without spending any money. Isn't that great! If you have any other good methods, you can also share them with everyone in our comment section!
