- Choose Your Preferred Mint Variety: With 18 species of mint available, select the one that suits your preferences, considering some may also be used in culinary preparations.
- Potting Process: Plant the mint directly in the pot, ensuring there are drainage holes at the bottom to prevent waterlogging.
- Ideal Location: Place the pot in a well-lit area, preferably in a temperate climate, and shield it from strong winds.
- Watering Routine: Water the mint in the early morning or late evening. During hot days, increase watering frequency, keeping the soil consistently moist, especially around the roots as the plant matures.
- Harvesting and Maintenance: Mint production typically begins around 40 days after planting. Once well-developed, cut the plant about 5 cm from the ground using sharp scissors. This practice removes dead leaves and old branches, ensuring the most intense aromas and flavors.
By adhering to these steps, you’ll enjoy a consistently fragrant and fresh home throughout the year.
Warning:
While cases of allergy or intolerance to mint are rare, they can cause adverse reactions when inhaled, particularly due to the strong scent of mint. If you experience nausea or dizziness, exercise caution and consider alternatives if needed.
