Mint can be planted by sowing and cutting. Prepare loose and fertile soil when sowing. Seed mint seeds in soil and cover them with 1cm thick soil. Gently compact the soil, water it once, then observe the whiteness of the soil surface, and water it once until the mint seeds take root and sprout. When cutting, you should cut off the vigorous branches, remove the leaves at the bottom of the branches, take root in hydroponics first, and then turn to soil culture after the mint branches take root.
First, the planting method of mint
1. Seed propagation: Peppermint can be propagated by sowing to prepare loose and fertile nutrient soil. Seed mint seeds in the soil, cover them with fine soil 2-3 times the diameter of the seeds, gently compact them, water them once, and then keep the soil slightly wet until the mint seeds germinate.
2. Cutting propagation: Mint can also be propagated by cutting. Cut off the robust mint branches, cut off the leaves at the bottom of the branches, insert the cut branches into water, change the water once a day, and then turn to soil culture after the mint gives birth to water roots.
Second, the mint conservation method
1, illumination: The mint is sunny, so the potted plants should be moved to Nanyang Station with sunny days for daily maintenance. More sunshine is beneficial to the compact stems and leaves of plants, which will not grow in white and the light will be weak, and the leaves of mint will turn pale or even yellow.
2, temperature: mint likes warmth, winter potted plants should be moved indoors for maintenance, to ensure that the maintenance temperature is above 0℃, if the temperature is low, be sure to water less to ensure that mint will not die due to drought.
3. watering: mint likes water, but it can't keep the soil moist for a long time. Otherwise mint will rot easily. You can weigh the basin soil at ordinary times. When you feel obviously lighter, water it once.
4. Fertilization: The root system of mint is developed and grows rapidly, and the demand for fertilizer and water is large. During the growth period of mint, plants can be watered with balanced nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer and water once every half month, such as Huaduoduo 1, to promote the vigorous growth of plants.
