1. Choose the Right Pot Ensure you use a pot with good drainage holes. Mint grows best in containers because it spreads quickly.
2. Use Quality Soil Use well-draining soil that’s rich in organic matter. A mixture of garden soil, compost, and perlite works great for mint.
3. Place in a Sunny Spot Mint needs at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day. Choose a sunny windowsill or balcony for your mint pot.
4. Water Regularly Keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water the plant every other day or when the soil feels dry to the touch.
5. Start with Cuttings or Seeds For quicker results, start with mint cuttings from a healthy plant. Place the cuttings in water until roots develop, then transplant them into soil.
6. Fertilize Lightly Use a balanced fertilizer once a month to boost mint growth. Too much fertilizer can harm the plant.
7. Prune the Leaves Regularly pinch off the tips of the mint to encourage bushier growth. This helps the plant grow faster and more vigorously.
