Soil

Catmint is suitable for planting in well drained soil. The degree of fertilization can be medium. An appropriate amount of slow-release fertilizer can be applied, and thin liquid fertilizer can be applied once or twice a week. Cat Mint is recommended to be planted in a flower pot of moderate size. The flower pot cannot be too small. If the flower pot is too small, it will affect its growth. The soil configuration is one-third humus soil and two-thirds garden soil

Sow

Catmint can be sown directly through seeds, and 1-3 seeds can be planted in each hole. The seeds can be covered with vermiculite after sowing. If the temperature is between 18-22 degrees, they can sprout in 10-14 days. After sowing, avoid direct sunlight and put them in the shade

Budding method

Watering

When the temperature is high in summer, water it every day. Mint likes to be wet, and water should be controlled in winter. The suitable temperature for seed germination is 15-20 ℃, and the service life of seeds is generally 1 year. The root system is sensitive to water, so it is necessary to prevent waterlogging. The basin soil should be completely dry between two watering

Illumination
