The aerial part of mint has erect stems, stolons and leaves. Axillary buds on erect stems can form branches. However, the buds on the basal nodes of stems germinate to form stolons that grow horizontally along the ground. Buds on stem nodes or stolons can germinate new seedlings and branch upward, so mint has strong reproductive ability.
Mint has strong adaptability and can grow below 21000 m above sea level. It likes warm and humid climate and sunny and rainy environment. It is best to plant loose and fertile sandy loam with good drainage, and the requirements for soil pH are not strict, and the pH value is 5.5 ~ 7.5.
