First, the mint needs to be pruned frequently to burst the pot
The way to burst the pot is actually very simple, because the mint itself is easy to survive, and there is not much to pay attention to. If we want it to explode, we must prune it frequently, so that it will grow more vigorously. Many people are afraid that too much pruning will damage mint plants, but in fact mint is very resistant to pruning and loves pruning.
1. Picking the core
Picking the core of mint means picking off the top branches and buds, which can promote the growth of mint plants, make them sprout from the side and make them grow more prosperous. Sometimes, because the growth of mint is so strong, we have to pick its heart several times to block the possibility of excessive growth of branches and buds.
2. topping
topping is the most basic problem of how to raise mint before it can burst into pots. When planting mint, wait until the mint grows normally and the trunk begins to grow slowly. We should choose a desired plant height to top it. Topping is to "shave" its head and break its branches from a certain height. This will not only affect the growth of mint, but also make your mint grow more vigorously and have a good appearance.
2. Five ways to cultivate mint
1. Fertile soil
If you want to raise mint vigorously, you must prepare a little fertile soil for them. Good air permeability, fertile garden soil is very good. The more you think the soil is not rich enough, it is also a good choice to add a little humus soil or chicken manure fertilizer. But if the flowerpot is too small and the soil is too little, it will also affect the growth.
2. Plenty of sunshine
Mint likes sunshine very much, and the more sunshine, the better it grows. When we breed, we must put mint in a sunny environment. Even if it is too sunny, it will be better than breeding in a cool environment. If the sunshine is small, there will be the phenomenon that mint is not flourishing and thin, and the leaves are not in good color and become smaller.
3. Water it frequently
Peppermint may burst only when it is watered frequently. Because it loves sunshine and is often placed in the sun, it must be watered more. Watering will be dry and wet, that is, if the soil is not dry, it will not be watered. Once it is watered, it must be thoroughly watered.
4. Appropriate fertilization
Mint likes the nourishment of fertilizer very much, and it must be fertilized once a month on average during the growing period. Fertilizer can be applied with organic fertilizer, and nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer should also be added appropriately. But be careful, no matter what fertilizer it is, don't touch the lush branches and leaves, because the thick fertilizer will rot if it touches the branches and leaves of mint directly. Only diluted fertilizer can be sprayed on the net to help it grow.
5. Turn the pot in spring
Peppermint also needs to be turned over every year, and it should be turned over in spring. Although the demand for more soil in mint is not very great, turning over the pot will make the soil more loose. Adding some fertilizers such as egg shell powder to the soil can also make the mint grow more vigorously after turning over the pot.
Conclusion: Through the above introduction, I believe everyone must have a full understanding of how to raise mint to make it burst. In fact, the cultivation method of mint itself is very simple. As long as it is raised in this way and properly pruned, it will soon make mint burst into pots.
