Planting seedlings in pots: For potted plants we need to pay attention to drainage, so we should spread some crushed stone at the bottom of the flower pot to help with drainage; clay pebbles also work. Then put an appropriate amount of soil into the pot, place the small mint seedlings in the pot, fill in soil layer by layer, and press down gently. Water thoroughly, then place it in a shady spot and wait for it to slowly grow,

Mint should be given 3~5 topdressings of fertilizer each year, done together with weeding, mainly applying nitrogen fertilizer, with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer as a supplement; just apply light fertilizer frequently.

Mint needs relatively more water during the growing season, and when it is dry in summer it can be watered a bit more. In autumn and winter, water less.
