Mint has strong reproductive ability and adapts extremely well to soil and environment. Whether grown in soil or water, plant one pot and you can eat mint all year round!

Taking mint cuttings is fairly simple. Cut off a slightly older stem about 10 cm long, remove the lower leaves, and put it in water; it will grow roots in a few days. You can also insert it directly into loose soil, first keeping it in a shady place, and after 1 week care for it normally.

Caring for mint is very simple. Remember to water only when the soil is dry, give it a bit more light, and apply a light fertilizer about once every 2-3 weeks, and it will quickly fill the pot. Once mint has filled the pot, you can cut it back, and it will send out new branches again. With the same care, you will have more than you can eat all year round!
