1、 Is it annual

Peppermint is not an annual plant. It is a perennial herb of peppermint in Labiatae. This kind of plant generally grows in the mountains and wetlands, and its roots and stems grow horizontally underground. It is usually seen below 2100 meters above sea level, and occasionally grows at 3500 meters above sea level. It is cultivated in many places in China, among which Jiangsu and Anhui are more common and have very good edible value

2、 How many years

As long as we pay attention to the environment and maintenance methods, peppermint can be raised indefinitely. The roots of this plant can metabolize and replace the old roots with new ones, so it can grow continuously. As long as there are no diseases and pests or damage, it will not wither and die

3、 How

1. Soil: Peppermint does not have high requirements for soil. As long as it is not too viscous or sandy, or the pH is too high, it can basically grow normally. If you want it to grow well, you must ensure that the basin soil is loose and breathable, which is conducive to the development and respiration of roots. In addition, the basin bottom can be padded with broken tiles, which can also improve its drainage

2. Light: peppermint is a plant with long sunshine. It can bloom only after receiving sufficient light. At the same time, it is also helpful for the production of peppermint oil and menthol. Therefore, it must be planted in the sunny place, and the potted plant should also be placed in the sun, so that it can receive light all day. If the environment is too dark, the plants will grow in vain and bloom easily

3. Watering: Peppermint needs a lot of water in the early stage of growth. We must ensure the moisture of the soil. Generally, it should be watered every 15 days in order to make it grow rapidly. In the later stage, it is necessary to reduce watering to avoid the crazy growth of plants, and controlling water will also help the plants bloom

4. Fertilization: the demand for fertilizer of peppermint is not very high. Generally, when planting and changing pots, it is necessary to apply enough base fertilizer in the basin bottom, so that there is no need for regular topdressing during the growth period. If the plant grows poorly, you can spray a little liquid fertilizer, but not too much, and control the concentration
