1、 Curing method

1. Temperature: it likes a warm living environment and can withstand low temperature. It has no too many requirements for temperature. It is a plant more suitable for novice breeding. Under normal maintenance, it will not have unhealthy conditions due to temperature problems

2. Watering: its growth needs sufficient water, poor drought tolerance and long-term soil moisture. When the temperature is high, it needs to be watered every day. When the temperature is low, it needs to be watered every two or three days

3. Fertilization: it grows faster and consumes nutrients quickly. It needs to be fertilized every half a month. Fertilization in spring is generally based on nitrogen-containing fertilizer, which is designed to promote plant growth. After May, it needs to increase the use of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which is designed to promote flowering. In addition, it can also enhance resistance and resist diseases and pests

4. Light: it needs enough sunlight for its growth. If it is an indoor potted plant, it needs to be placed in a sunny place to give it enough light. The plant with insufficient light can't stand the wind and rain. A little wind may make it fall down, but it's not suitable for strong light and direct light, so it needs proper shade

2、 Breeding skills

1. Propagation: generally, the sowing method is adopted for propagation. Fill the soil into the prepared basin, and then pour water once to ensure that the soil is completely wet. Sprinkle the seeds evenly on the soil and cover the whole flower pot with a film. This is to ensure the temperature and humidity. It can emerge in about a week, and it can be planted when it grows to three real leaves

2. Pruning: the key point of pruning is to cut off the branches and leaves that are not growing well and dry. The purpose is to concentrate nutrients and avoid unnecessary loss of nutrients

3、 Problem diagnosis

1. Insect pest: it is easy to infect mealybug. This kind of insect will attach to its body and absorb juice, resulting in slow plant growth and drooping branches and leaves. If this kind of insect is found on its plant, it needs to be sprayed with medicine in time. The medicine can use carbendazim, which needs to be diluted before use

2. Yellowing of branches and leaves: if yellowing of branches and leaves is found in the plant, it is likely that the light demand of the plant is not met, and the light amount needs to be increased slowly at this time

4、 Other issues

1. Edible: it is edible. American mint and common mint are not a kind of plant. It can be used to make condiments, such as sauces and vinegar, as well as desserts and candy

2. Whether it is suitable for family breeding: its plant body is not very high, which is more in line with the conditions of family breeding. During breeding, we need to pay attention to ensuring sufficient light
