Mint, this plant, we all know it, but do you know how to grow mint? Let's take a look together!

Mint is a plant with many uses, and many people now want to grow mint. So, how do you care for potted mint? Let's see together how gardening enthusiasts do it.

Actually, if you want to grow mint very well, you need to pinch and top it at the right time. Doing a good job of pruning mint has two benefits: it keeps the mint plant's shape looking attractive.When the branches and stems grow to a certain point, pinching and topping in time can control the height and direction of mint growth, promote the sprouting of the axillary buds below, and grow more new branches, so that it can grow more luxuriantly.After pruning, you need to water in time, and also fertilize. Generally, cake fertilizer, homemade organic fertilizer, and so on can be used.

How do you water during regular care?Mint is a plant that likes water. If it is kept on a balcony, you can water it every day. Enough moisture is good for the growth of new leaves. You can also spray water on the leaves to ensure the water supply. If there are more leaves, water more; if there are fewer leaves, water less. It is very simple.

How much light is needed normally?Mint growth needs enough light. Generally, direct sunlight is not a problem. In summer, when the sun is strong and the weather is hot, pay attention to maintaining moisture. If the climate is too dry and hot, mint leaves will become smaller and smaller, then thicker, and the color will deepen.

Tip: Do not throw away the mint leaves you cut off either. In summer, prickly heat is generally easy to get. Soaking mint leaves in water and wiping the body can relieve prickly heat. Or soaking them in water to drink is also a good choice.
