About these, do you know? Introduction to the cultivation of mint and detailed explanation of the planting methods of mint leaves in the aspect of green plants and flowers, the following is a detailed introduction.
Green plant enthusiasts must know about mint. It is often used as a seasoning in life. Its leaves are green and lush, and it grows very fast. Not only does it refresh and please the eyes, but it also has a very refreshing fragrance. Moreover, mint can absorb harmful substances in the air, playing a role in purifying the air. It is very suitable to place a pot at home. Today, let's talk about the small method of growing mint to fill the pot!
I. Maintain sufficient sunlight
Mint has a very strong vitality. Although it is a plant that loves the sun, it also has good shade tolerance. Therefore, it is also acceptable if the lighting in the maintenance environment is not very sufficient in a short period of time. However, if mint lacks sunlight for a long time, its leaves will grow thin and long, and even turn yellow, which will greatly affect its ornamental value.
Therefore, except for proper shading during the noon of summer, we should place mint in a place with sufficient sunlight for maintenance at other times. Only by ensuring more than 8 hours of sunlight exposure every day can its branches and leaves grow thick and dense!
II. Maintain sufficient moisture
As we all know, mint grows very fast and can easily fill a pot in about one or two months, so its demand for water is naturally higher. When maintaining mint, we should ensure the soil is moist without waterlogging in the pot. Never let it lack water. If the potting soil dries out, the entire plant will look very listless, the leaves will turn yellow, and the shape of the plant will be very disordered, affecting its appearance.
When watering mint, we should try to use the immersion method. Usually, after 15-20 minutes, the soil surface will be moistened, which can also meet the water requirements for the normal growth of mint. In addition, during the hot and dry summer, we should also frequently spray water around the plant to keep it moist, making its leaves greener and more lush.
Third point: Prune the plant regularly
Because mint grows very fast, it often grows in a disorderly manner. We need to prune some plants and branches that affect the appearance and dry, yellow, and aging branches. As long as the roots are not cut during the pruning process, it will soon fill the pot again.
When maintaining mint, we also need to supplement it with a dilute nitrogen fertilizer once a month. If the branches and leaves are not pruned in time, not only will it affect the ornamental value, but it will also consume excess nutrients, preventing other branches and leaves from absorbing sufficient nutrients and not growing better. Also, because the branches and leaves of mint are dense, it is important to ensure good ventilation during maintenance. After pruning, ventilation can not only increase the distance between plants but also effectively prevent diseases and pests.
