When and how should you water mint?

This plant must be watered continuously, and even better, you must check that the soil is always moist.

How can we take care of the plant?

For it to grow at its best, it is important to keep the soil moist, and it is also recommended to use mulch to protect it from cold and frost. In addition to using fertilizer from time to time, if the plant is potted it is necessary to turn it every 3 or 4 days due to its tendency to turn towards the sun.

How and when should it be harvested?

The harvest should be carried out when the leaves have a more intense smell, therefore shortly before flowering. First of all, you need to remove the yellow leaves and harvest the leaves just above the first or second group.

Can you grow mint in pots?

Of course, as we have already said, it is possible to grow this plant in a pot. It will be enough to obtain a large pot with holes at the base to allow the flow of water and thus avoid stagnation and provide enough space for growth.

What is the right soil to grow it?

The soil pH should be between 6.0 and 7.0 to plant it directly without problems. The soil must therefore be moist.

Can we use cuttings to grow it?

To plant mint from cuttings we must cut some branches of a plant that are between 12 and 15 centimeters long. Next we need to clean the cut, removing the lower leaves, then place it in a glass of water and arrange it on a windowsill. Once the cutting has received 4 to 6 hours of light per day and the roots are sufficiently developed, we can plant it.

Can we instead plant mint in the garden with seeds and plants?

To plant mint in the garden we can insert the seeds into the soil to a depth of 3 centimeters. If, on the other hand, we want to plant seedlings, we must spread a layer of compost and insert a seedling 15 to 30 centimeters deep 5 centimeters below the surface. Good luck to everyone.
