You don't have to raise any flowers in spring, but this is the only one, so you don't have to lose money.

Mint grows only when the sun shines enough.

Peppermint is a kind of plant that likes light. The more it is exposed to the sun, the better it grows. The lack of sunlight will cause the branches to become thin and curved, the leaves will not grow big, and the aroma will fade, so mint must be kept in the place where the sun is most abundant at home. Don't be afraid of more than 30 degrees in summer. It will grow more cheerfully. In addition, pay attention to ventilation.

Mint needs plenty of water.

1. With enough water, mint will grow green and full, and the taste will be more fragrant.

2. Peppermint has strong vitality, and it is not a big problem to encounter drought and flood, so that the soil can be watered when the soil is dry and watered thoroughly. Generally touch the surface of the basin soil is completely dry, but it needs watering.

3. If the leaves are wilted if they are not watered for a long time, don't worry, if they are thoroughly watered, they will recover slowly. Keep watering every 2-3 days.

Big pots of good soil accompany good manure, peppermint rub long

Potted soil:

1. Peppermint can not grow fast without its strong ability to absorb nutrients, so we need to prepare larger flowerpots and fertile soil for it.

2. Peppermint root system is well developed, and if there is not enough space, the growth will be limited. It is recommended to change the pot every spring.

3. If you have a flower bed or yard at home, don't put mint in it casually, because if you are not careful, it will occupy your whole garden and rob you of the nutrition of other plants.

4, the soil is loose and breathable to make the mint grow carefree, often loosen the soil, it is best to catch a few earthworms and put them in the basin.

Fertilization:

1. Peppermint does not have a particularly high demand for fertilizer. Chemical fertilizer and water are enough with a concentration of 500 yuan and 1000 yuan, and there is no need to apply fertilizer too frequently.

2. Usually we can make some rotten rice-panning water and water to pour peppermint at least 1:20.

How do you trim mint?

What if mint grows out of control? It must be because you didn't trim it properly.

1. There is a way to treat peppermint, which is called "picking the heart and hitting the top". You can't let it grow blindly. In order to promote the development of lateral buds, we should pay attention to cut off the uppermost part of the new buds and part of the old leaves, so that mint can send out axillary buds as soon as possible, grow fast, and look good!

2. Mint stems and leaves are too thin and too small to be trimmed. Coupled with plenty of sunshine, the situation will be alleviated.

3. Don't be reluctant to do it. If the mint leaves are all withered and wilted, and the growth is particularly serious, you can directly shave your head and send new branches, so that you can burst the basin again!

How does peppermint reproduce?

Most mints are propagated not by seeds, but by stolons.

If you want to cultivate new mint, you can cut off the stolon and bury it horizontally. The leaves on the stolon will grow perpendicular to the stolon to form a mint branch. Don't bury it vertically.

You can also put the stolon in water for hydroponic culture.

Without a stolon, mint is cultivated like this:

1. Cut a sprig of mint and 6cm it around. If it is too long, it can be divided into two sections, then soak it in a cup and bask in the sun by the windowsill.

2. In a week or so, the mint branches cut off basically took root.

3. Bury the root of peppermint branch into the soil, compact the soil and pour water through it.

4. Put it on the windowsill where the sun does not shine directly for 2 to 3 days. If there is no sign of drying up and softening during this period, it means that the mint has survived.

No matter how strong peppermint is, he is afraid of powdery mildew.

Powdery mildew is a disease caused by a fungus. After menthol infection, there are white powdery spots on both sides of the leaves, which look like mildew. It is usually caused by poor ventilation or too much watering.

If the home-grown mint has powdery mildew, it is recommended to cut off part of the focus and sprout again.

The efficacy of mint water

To make peppermint water:

① takes 3-4 fresh leaves from the mint at home (the top buds can be cut off by picking the heart).

Add some lemon and honey to ② and soak it in boiling water for two or three times.

③ peppermint medicine awakens the brain, makes sugar taste, and occasionally has a glass of peppermint water, which can not only shake the spirit, but also relieve halitosis, clear the lungs and resolve phlegm.

It should be noted that people with physical deficiency and cold should not use too much, mint is cold, and eating too much is harmful to the body.

In addition, there are two kinds of mint that we often grow, which are peppermint and peppermint, which taste good and are easy to accept.

All in all, the secret of raising mint can be summed up as follows:

Ventilation, watering, basking in the sun, shaving
