1、 Base fertilizer

When planting peppermint, you need to apply base fertilizer, which can continuously provide nutrients for the plant. If it is planted in the ground, the fertilizer mostly uses rotten compost, soil and miscellaneous fertilizer, together with calcium superphosphate and bone meal. Generally, 37500-45000 kg should be applied per hectare. Before fertilization, the ground should be prepared and turned deeply, and then the fertilizer should be turned into the soil after fertilization. If it is potted, you can mix organic fertilizer or compound fertilizer into the pot soil

2、 Topdressing

1. Branching stage: in the branching stage of peppermint, proper topdressing is required. At this time, nitrogen fertilizer is mostly used, which can promote the growth of branches and leaves and make the plant more lush. Only if the plant grows well in the early stage can its yield be high, so the fertilizer must be sufficient to provide it with a lot of nutrients

2. Before flowering: Peppermint does not need too much nitrogen fertilizer in the later stage of growth. If it grows too vigorously in the early stage, it is easy to cause defoliation and lodging in the later stage. At this time, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer is mainly applied to the plant, and leaf fertilizer is usually selected, which is easier to absorb

3、 Precautions

1. If the concentration of peppermint fertilizer is too high, it is easy to cause harm. Pay attention to that if the concentration of peppermint fertilizer is too thin. In particular, pay attention to the amount of nitrogen fertilizer. If too much nitrogen fertilizer will lead to plant overgrowth, which will not only affect the beauty, but also be unfavorable to flowering

2. Pay attention to the time: spraying foliar fertilizer is generally carried out on cloudy days or in sunny evenings. If it is in the time of strong light and high temperature, the water is easy to evaporate, resulting in the inability of nutrients to enter the leaves, which can not only supplement nutrition, but also burn the leaves
