As far as the personal experience of Xiaobian is concerned, it is better to take some measures before the cold winter comes, which will be more conducive to the growth of plants again. The specific operation method is to cut off the withered branches and leaves, because the mint in winter will dry up except the roots, stems and leaves, so these unnecessary parts can be cut off directly, and the dilution of the root nutrients is also avoided, which is more conducive to the next year's branches.
In winter, mint will wither and lose its leaves because of low temperature, and it will stop growing, but it doesn't mean that there is no need to manage the plants at all. In terms of water content, it doesn't need to water too much, and it can't let the potted soil dry and ignore it. The owner just needs to remember that the potted soil is wet, and the root system will germinate again in the next year.
We can add more clothes to resist the cold in winter. Although plants don't need to be like human beings, they also need to change their living environment. Although the drought resistance of peppermint is not very bad, it's better to move it from outdoor to indoor to avoid frostbite on the rhizome. Or cover the flowerpot with some hay for protection.
Do a good job of the above maintenance points, wait for the next spring your mint potted plants will grow buds again, the growth period is well maintained, and soon it will be a lively scene of vigorous growth.
