1、 Watering time

For ground planted peppermint, watering is mainly concentrated in the early and middle stages, which can promote the growth of roots and make branches and leaves more lush. In the later stage, watering should be reduced to avoid plant growth. If it is a potted plant, the watering period is mostly in spring and summer. At this time, the temperature is high and suitable for plant growth. It is necessary to control the water properly in autumn and winter

2、 Watering interval

Due to the differences in environment and climate, there is generally no fixed interval for watering peppermint. The field planting is often watered once every 15 days. If the land is relatively wet, the watering interval can be extended, and if it is dry, it should be watered in advance. For potted plants, it is generally necessary to check the dryness and wetness of the soil and water them. Usually, the temperature is high in summer, so they should be watered every day, and they should be watered once in the morning and once in the evening

3、 Water quality and temperature

Generally, rainwater or river water is used for watering peppermint. If there is only tap water, it should be placed for a few days or exposed to the sun. In this way, the chlorine in the water can volatilize and reduce the harm to plants. In addition, it can also be watered with rice washing water, which is very helpful for plant development due to its slightly acidic nature. When watering, pay attention to the water temperature and do not use cold water

4、 Precautions

Watering must control the amount of water. Although peppermint likes humidity, too high humidity will also have side effects, which is easy to affect the respiration of roots and breed bacteria. If you water too much, you need to drain the water and loosen the soil properly to accelerate the evaporation of water and dry the soil as soon as possible
