If you want mint to grow well, you should pay attention to the following four aspects. Water: use a watering can to water directly above it. Shaving: help lateral buds grow. Rice basin: turn the basin once a year in spring. Pruning: properly picking and topping can help it grow better. After pruning, put it in a well ventilated place.

1. Water

Peppermint likes water very much. It can make its new leaves more fresh and tender with sufficient water. It can also spray water on the leaves to ensure the absorption of water. Spray it on the top with a watering can. No need to water the roots. If the leaves are thicker, water more. If the leaves are less, water less.

2. Shaving

Can give MINT "shave head" can help side bud grow, when "shave head", don't cut off all the old leaves at once, want to keep enough nutrients for the new leaf to grow, wait for the new leaf to grow and then cut off the old leaf, if "shave head" is serious, it will grow slowly..

3. Turn the basin

In order to grow better, we need to turn the basin once a year in spring. Before turning the basin, we need to prepare fertile and well drained soil. The substrate can be made of rotten leaf soil, garden soil or coarse sand. When turning the basin every year, we can separate many plants and ensure the wettability of the basin soil.

4. Trim

Generally, old leaves should be cut off if they have no fragrance. Proper coring and topping can help them grow better. Timely pruning can control their growth height and promote the germination of new buds. After pruning, you should water and fertilize them properly. Because mint likes ventilation, you should put it in a well ventilated place after pruning.
