Choose good mint varieties and prepare plump, healthy and substantial seeds. Do not sow shriveled, diseased and insect-infested seeds, otherwise germination will be affected.

3. Germination

If mint is sown directly, the seedlings can germinate, but the germination rate is not high, so it is best to germinate in advance. Prepare warm water around 40°C, soak the seeds in the warm water, stir and soak until the water temperature drops, and then soak for a few hours. After the seeds are soaked, take them out, place them on a damp paper towel, and place them in a warm environment for germination.

5. Sowing and Planting

Spray the soil with water and sow the seeds evenly on the soil surface. Pay attention to keep a good spacing. You can not cover it with soil or cover it with a small amount of soil. Cover it with a film after sowing. Keep warm and moisturizing, maintain good sunlight exposure, and promote mint seedlings.
