Discover effective techniques to cultivate lush, healthy mint plants and ensure successful multiplication! 
1. Choose the Right Location:
Sunlight: 3–5 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Soil: Use moist, well-draining soil with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Add compost for nutrients.
2. Watering:
Keep soil evenly moist, especially in hot weather. Water when the top inch feels dry.
Apply mulch to retain moisture and prevent weeds.
3. Fertilization:
Feed with a balanced, organic fertilizer (10-10-10) monthly during growing season.
Avoid over-fertilizing to maintain flavor and fragrance.
4. Pruning and Harvesting:
Trim regularly to promote bushier growth. Pinch off stem tips.
Harvest leaves when the plant is 4–6 inches tall, leaving some leaves on each stem.
5. Prevent Flowering:
Pinch off flower buds to keep the plant focused on leaf production.
6. Multiply Mint Plants:
Cuttings: Cut a 4–6 inch stem, remove lower leaves, and place in water or moist soil. Roots form in 1–2 weeks.
Runners: Dig up and replant sections of underground runners.
Division: Every 2-3 years, divide the root ball into sections and replant.
7. Container Growing:
Grow mint in pots to control its spread.
Repot annually to refresh soil and give roots more space.
8. Pest and Disease Control:
Watch for pests like aphids and spider mites; use neem oil or insecticidal soap.
Prevent disease by ensuring good air circulation and removing affected leaves.
