1. Make up fertilizer in time. Peppermint is a very fertilizer loving plant. It needs to be applied once a month in the growth period. It is better to mainly apply nitrogen fertilizer, supplemented by phosphorus and potassium fertilizer. In this way, it can provide more nutrition and make it grow better.
2. Pest control. In the seedling stage, mint is easy to replace with black shank disease, which makes the stem of mint soft and black, thus making the plant lodging and withering. Once the disease occurs, 70% chlorothalonil or 40% carbendazim spray can be used.
