1、 How to make the stems and leaves of mint strong

1. More sun exposure: the most effective way to make the stems and leaves of peppermint strong is to have more sun exposure. Under the condition of sufficient light, peppermint will fully carry out photosynthesis, the stems will be short and strong, and the leaves will be green. In the absence of light, peppermint will grow in vain, with slender stems and yellow leaves

2. Moderate temperature: when raising peppermint at home, it is best to ensure that the curing temperature is above 15 ℃. If it is lower than 15 ℃, peppermint will grow slowly, and if it is lower than 10 ℃, peppermint will stop growing. Therefore, if you want to have strong stems and leaves, you'd better give it a higher temperature

3. Proper watering

Peppermint likes water, but it should not be watered too often. Otherwise, if the soil is wet for a long time, the base of peppermint stem will become black and rotten. In the long run, it is easy to produce small black flies. Therefore, when watering, it must be dry and wet. It feels light and permeable when holding the basin soil

4. Thin fertilizer and frequent application

The root system of peppermint grows vigorously, but the pot soil is only a little, and the nutrition is certainly not enough. Therefore, during the growth of peppermint, thin fertilizer must be applied frequently, and the liquid fertilizer with balanced nutrition should be poured every half a month to ensure the stout stems and leaves of peppermint

2、 How to trim MINT

Peppermint grows very fast. If it is not pruned and harvested often, the branches and leaves of peppermint will become old and grow disorderly and badly. At this time, we just need scissors to shave the head of the mint, keep a few centimeters of the stem, cut off all the stems and leaves on the ground and let it grow again
