Mint is usually sown in the spring or fall.This kind of plant is suitable for growing in warm climate, so it is easier to take root and sprout after sowing in spring and autumn.High temperature and high humidity climate in summer is easy to breed pests and diseases, which is not conducive to the growth of seedlings.The winter temperature is too low, although it has a certain degree of cold resistance, but the growth is relatively slow, any need to wait until spring to grow.
Because the germination rate of mint is not high, it usually needs to be accelerated before sowing.Soak the seeds in warm water at 40 C for about 5 hours without keeping the water temperature in the process.Prepare a plate, add the right amount of water, and lay a paper towel, paper towel on top of the seeds, and cover with plastic film, this can play a moisturizing effect, film can be punctured a few holes, used to improve ventilation.
Peppermint is suitable for growth in loose and fertile soil, good drainage is essential, which is conducive to root respiration.Generally, garden soil, humus soil and river sand are used for preparation, and the proportion of river sand should not be too large, otherwise it will affect the development of roots.An appropriate amount of organic fertilizer can be added to the pot soil as a base fertilizer, which can continuously provide nutrients for the plant.
Place broken bricks or tiles at the bottom of the pot to improve its drainage.Fill it with prepared soil, usually 80% of the height of the flowerpot.Then put the seeds in the middle of the pot soil, cover about 5 mm of fine soil, and water them properly.Water slowly, or the current will wash away the seeds.Then put a plastic bag on it to keep it moist.
