1、 How to make Mint take root

1. Hydroponic rooting: there are two ways to root mint. The first is hydroponic rooting. Cut the healthy Mint branches from the mother plant and prepare a cup of water. Insert the cut Mint branches directly into the water. The leaves submerged in the water can be removed. Replace the water once a day. The mint can take root in 2-3 days. It's very easy

2. Soil culture rooting: in addition to hydroponic culture, you can also cut the branches of peppermint and insert them in the wet basin soil to directly cut and take root. For soil culture rooting, we should use moist soil for cutting, and then wait for the soil surface to turn white and dry. When carrying the basin soil, we feel obviously lighter. We can't always water the mint before it takes root, so as to avoid rotten stems

2、 How to raise after hydroponic rooting

If peppermint is cultivated in water, it is better to take root, but when it is cultivated in soil, the water root can't adapt at once and it's easy to die. It's best to turn the peppermint root into soil culture in time when it grows to 2cm long. After turning into soil culture, don't bask in the sun, put it in a cool and ventilated place, and gradually brighten it after a week to keep the soil moist. After the peppermint has an obvious growth trend, bask in the sun to prevent the peppermint from growing in vain

3、 Precautions

If you feel that the cutting of peppermint is in the soil and the survival rate is low, you can cut the walking stem (stolon) of peppermint, cut the walking stem into several small sections and bury it in the soil. The small leaves are exposed to the earth to maintain the micro moisture of the soil, and the rooting survival rate is as high as 100%
