First, pruning mint at seedling stage needs pruning once. Generally, when it grows to 8- 10 cm, it is necessary to cut off its terminal bud. By removing the core, the top advantage of the plant can be removed, the growth of lateral branches can be promoted, and it can look more lush and avoid the risk of virtual long lodging. After the branches grow to a certain extent, you can also cut off the terminal buds to promote re-branching.

Second, pruning mint after flowering The flowering period is in summer, and it usually needs pruning after flowering. Because flowering will consume nutrients continuously, it is necessary to cut off the residual flowers in time after the flowers wither, and at the same time cut off the weaker branches, which can reduce the loss of nutrients and make them grow stronger. In addition, the pruning time should be early, and it will affect its smell if it is late.

Third, the mint in the pruning growth period needs to be pruned again, and the branches with signs of pests and diseases should be cut off to avoid the deterioration of the situation. At the same time, some thicker branches should be properly drained, which can increase the ventilation and light transmission inside and provide space for the growth of new branches.

Fourth, the dormant period pruning winter is the dormant period of mint. At this time, the pruning range should not be too large, mainly to cut off dead branches and rotten leaves. For some branches with poor growth conditions, it can also be reduced by about 3-5 cm to make its nutrient supply more concentrated.
