5. Watering and Care
- Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering.
- Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry.
- If indoors, mist the leaves occasionally to maintain humidity.
6. Fertilizing for Healthy Growth
- Use organic compost tea or diluted fish emulsion every 3–4 weeks.
- Avoid excessive fertilizers, as mint grows vigorously with minimal feeding.
7. Managing Pests and Diseases
- Aphids and Spider Mites: Spray with neem oil or soapy water.
- Fungal Diseases: Ensure proper air circulation and avoid overwatering.
- Slugs and Snails: Use crushed eggshells around the base to deter them.
8. Harvesting Mint
- Start harvesting once the plant has multiple sets of leaves.
- Pick leaves regularly to encourage new growth.
- For continuous production, avoid letting the plant flower; pinch off flower buds as they appear.
