Key points of maintenance just entering winter

In terms of Xiaobian's personal experience, it's best to take some measures before the arrival of cold winter, which will be more conducive to plant growth again. The specific operation method is to cut the withered branches and leaves, because all the stems and leaves of peppermint in winter will dry up except the roots, so these unnecessary parts can be cut off directly, which also eliminates the dilution of root nutrients, which is more conducive to branching and sending out new branches next year

Moisture management

Peppermint in winter will wither and fall leaves due to low temperature, and will also stop growing, but it doesn't mean that there is no need to manage the plant at all. In terms of water content, it doesn't need too much watering, nor can it let the pot soil dry. As long as the owner keeps in mind, it is to keep the pot soil moist, and the root system will germinate again in the coming year

Temperature environment

We can add more clothes to resist the cold in winter. Although plants do not need to be like humans, they also need the owner to change their living environment. Although the drought tolerance of peppermint is not very poor, it is best to move it indoors from the outside to avoid frostbite. Or cover the flowerpot with some hay for protection

Do a good job in the maintenance points mentioned above, and wait for the spring of next year. Your mint potted plant will live up to expectations and grow buds again. Maintain it well during the growth period, and it will be a lively scene of vigorous growth soon
