Proper pruning: When the trunk of the plant grows to about 20 centimeters, it should be topped in time, leaving only three or four branches, and also cut off those branches that grow too fast and too dense at any time. Appropriate light: appropriate light can make the plant synthesis of adequate nutrients, to ensure that the plant has 60% of the light every day. Suitable soil: must be loose and fertile, nutrient-rich weak acid soil. In addition, timely fertilization and watering should be carried out to ensure adequate nutrition.
1. Ramet time
The time of ramets is generally in spring, when the climate is relatively warm, ramets have a higher survival rate, and also contribute to the growth of young plants.If it is planted in the ground, the seedlings will be thinned when they grow to 15 centimeters high, and the extra seedlings will be transplanted separately.
2. Promoting rooting
Peppermint itself will grow stolons and take root in the right place to grow new plants, but family farming is often potted, stolons or walking branches rarely have the opportunity to take root, so the growth direction should be properly controlled.Its stolon is circled along the plant, then pressed on the surface of the soil, or close to other pots, and fixed with wire, etc., usually a week or so can grow new roots, and then ready for division.
3. Pot with soil
Before potting the mint, you must first prepare the potting soil. The mint itself does not have a high requirement for the soil, as long as it is not too sandy or too sticky. In addition, it is not suitable to plant it in soil with serious acidification and alkalization.Generally, garden soil, rotten leaf soil and river sand are mixed to prepare potting soil, which can provide good drainage and ventilation, and is conducive to root breathing.The bottom of the pot is covered with broken tiles, the bottom is paved with the matched soil, and the sub-plants are put inside and filled with the soil.
4. Subsequent Curing
After the division is completed, water it thoroughly once, and put it in a semi-shady place to let it pass the seedling recovery period, during which no watering and fertilization are required.When the plant begins to grow again, it can see the light, according to the size of the plant, determine the light intensity, too small plants should not be exposed to the sun for a long time.
