If you want to grow mint this year, there is one thing you must know. Don't blame me for not reminding you of the headache.

With the arrival of midsummer, recently saw a lot of flower friends ready to grow their own mint, there are also some flower friends consulted the method of planting mint and precautions. Everyone saw that the stone wrote in the title: When the time comes,"headache" don't blame did not remind you. Surely some people can't help but wonder, is mint bad for human health?

Seriously answer everyone, mint is not bad for human health, on the contrary, mint can refresh the mind, fresh air, mosquito bites when smeared can disinfect itching. Speaking of headaches, mint is too easy to grow, survival and reproduction capacity is too strong, especially for the case of field cultivation, once flowering and seed, the next year like weeds grow. If you don't want it, it's hard to clean it up all at once.

A flower friend shared that he planted mint in the yard last year. It grew very well in that year, and it was really easy to raise. There was a fragrance nearby. Finally, it blossomed and set seeds. As a result, I wanted to plant some other plants this year, so I cleaned up mint seedlings. As a result, mint seedlings were sent out within a few days after cleaning up every time. After several twists and turns, they were still not cleaned up.

When it comes to this kind of thing, many people will be skeptical. Is it so terrible? Here's how mint survives:

Peppermint belongs to the persistent plant, its roots are very dense, generally in the ground 5-10 cm. Generally, when the ambient temperature is lower than 2℃, the plant will wither, but its roots can grow normally at-30℃--30℃. Yes, that's right. It's still safe to winter at minus 30 degrees Celsius. Peppermint has strong adaptability to growing environment, and can survive in dry and humid environment. There is also its seed, planted mint flower friends must know, mint seeds are very small, but the germination rate is very high, then once mint blossoms, seeds scattered on the ground, next year a large number of germination is inevitable.

Therefore, if you don't want to let it grow out of control when planting mint, it is recommended to use potted plants (sowing, cuttage can be), so that you can control the spread of mint roots very well, and potted plants are easier to take care of.

Another point is that if mint blossoms and you don't need seeds, you can just prune the plant and let it sprout again, which is hard to control.

Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate mint on the one hand and control it on the other hand.
