What should I pay attention to when raising mint leaves?

Mint, there is a nickname called Yindancao in our country. The whole plant is fragrant and can be used as medicine, which is deeply loved by everyone. And mint, with its unique temperament, has been given a symbol of freshness and nature.

Pay attention to the following items when raising mint leaves:

1. Mint is very loose. It is recommended to plant it in a flowerpot, but the flowerpot should not be too small, otherwise it will affect the growth. One third of the topsoil is humus and two thirds is garden soil.

2, every day in summer, but to prevent water in the basin, to prevent rotten roots. Because of the high temperature in summer, mint likes humidity, so it is necessary to control water in winter.

3, it is best to be sunny, the lack of light will be too long, you can plant it on the outdoor balcony.

4. Bury a small amount of compound fertilizer in the pot for about a month to prevent excessive fertilizer damage.

5, the choice of flower pots. There must be air holes at the bottom to prevent water from staying in the soil too much and rotting roots.

6. soil. Fertile and soft soil is most suitable (there are all kinds of miscellaneous soil in the flower and bird market, which is very suitable for beginners like us).

7. Planting. Put a few pebbles at the bottom of the flowerpot, pour some soil into it and compact it. Then put the mint seedlings with roots into the soil, and gently sprinkle the remaining soil into the basin by hand. Never press it by hand again, because it is easy to break the fragile roots.

8. water. Mint needs a lot of water, which may be related to the fragrance of branches and leaves, so it can be watered every day, but the water flowing into the dish at the bottom must be poured out, otherwise it will easily rot the roots.

9. sunshine. Mint likes sunshine. If it is not seen for a long time, the fragrance will fade and the branches will become thinner. However, the newly planted saplings should not be exposed too much in the sun, as long as they are placed in a well-lit place.

10, pruning. Mint grows very fast, and the bent part or top can be trimmed, but not excessively.

1 1, change pots. Mint is very fertile. It is estimated that the roots will be crowded with flowerpots in a few months, and the pots need to be changed to provide nutrients. Stop watering 1-2 days before changing pots. When the soil is slightly dry, tap the flowerpot with your hands, knock it out with your roots, and then replace it with a larger flowerpot.
