Mint has a unique scent and a wide range of uses. If you want to cultivate it at home, in addition to the soil cultivation method, you can also try the hydroponic method. There are stem cutting and leaf cutting methods for hydroponic mint, and I will introduce them to you in detail below.
One, stem cutting method
1. Preparation of cuttings
This method has a high survival rate and can basically be successful. It is recommended to choose healthy stolons for stem cutting, cut them with scissors, with cuttings about 5-15CM long, the top with 3-5 leaves, and the bottom cut diagonally.
2. Insertion into bottle
Based on the length of the prepared cuttings, find a narrow-necked glass bottle. If the bottle mouth is too large, you can use the foam plug method to insert the cuttings into the bottle to prevent them from falling over. Fill the bottle with 2/3 water and insert the cuttings into the bottle.
3. Maintenance
Maintain in a shaded and well-ventilated area for about 3-5 days, and roots will grow. Generally, change the water every 3-5 days, or change it immediately when the culture water is turbid. The leaves of the cuttings will wilt and fall off during the early stages of hydroponics, which is a normal physiological phenomenon and there is no need to worry too much. As long as it is maintained correctly, after the cuttings take root, they will sprout new buds.
Two, leaf cutting method
Mint has a strong reproductive ability, so leaf cutting can also be used as a propagation method. Select healthy leaves from the mother plant, cut them together with the petiole, and insert the petiole part into the water. Generally, roots will grow in 3-5 days.
