A pot of mint at home is refreshing and delicious. A seed is thrown into a flowerpot and thousands of trees grow.

We have all eaten peppermint bar. Is the spicy and refreshing smell of peppermint strong enough to refresh and relieve summer heat? in fact, this is also the original taste of mint. We can plant a pot of peppermint on the balcony, which can not only make tea and cook, but also prevent insects and remove odor. It is a very practical potted plant.

Planting peppermint can be achieved by seed cultivation or cutting, both of which grow very fast and can easily burst into the basin.

1. Seed sowing

Every autumn, mint will bear a lot of small black seeds. We can collect them and plant them next year.

When sowing, first prepare loose and breathable soil, and then sow the seeds gently, which can be covered with a thin layer of soil or not. Mint seeds are relatively small, and if they are planted too deep, they will not emerge.

You can use a convenience bag to cover the flowerpot, make a few holes for ventilation, put it in a warm and astigmatic place, and the mint will soon send out buds.

As long as it is well watered and basked in the sun, mint will grow wildly.

When you reach a certain height, you should top the mint and let it sprout side branches, because if the mint grows too high, it will lodge and affect its appearance.

2. Cuttage

If a friend has peppermint at home, you can also pinch a few branches to cut a pot, put the branches in the water, they will take root in a few days, and then transplant them into the soil.

Cutting directly into the soil can also be done.

First put it in a place away from the light for a few days, and gradually move to a sunny place for maintenance.

In fact, peppermint is the best potted plant to raise. If it is raised in the yard, as long as it is raised for a year, it will continue to be mint year after year, and there will be endless shovels everywhere.
