One, maintain sufficient light
Mint vitality is very tenacious, although it is a very sun-loving plants, but shade tolerance is also relatively good, so within a short period of time to maintain the environment light is not very adequate is also possible, but a long time lack of light mint leaves will be futile and long and thin, and also yellow, very much affecting the ornamental.
So we usually care for the mint in addition to the summer midday need proper shade, other times it is placed in a place with sufficient light maintenance can be, to ensure that every day to receive more than 8 hours of sunlight, its branches and leaves will grow thick and dense!
Two, maintain sufficient moisture
We all know that the mint's growth rate is very fast, basically a month or two of time can easily grow pot, so it is naturally on the demand for water is also greater, we are in the maintenance of the mint in the potting soil does not accumulate water to ensure that the soil is moist, do not let it lack of water, if its potting soil is dry, the whole plant will look If the soil is dry, the whole plant will look very spiritless, the leaves will be yellow, and the shape of the plant is also very messy, affecting the beauty of the plant.
When we water the mint, we should try to use the soaking method, usually 15-20 minutes, the soil surface will be soaked, but also to meet the mint's normal growth of water. In addition, in the summer heat and dry time we also need to frequently give it around the plant spray moisturizing, so as to make its leaves more pale green.
Third point: often pruning plants
Because the mint's growth rate is very fast, so it often grows haphazardly, we need to often give it some construction of the plant, cut off some of the impact of the beauty of the branches and leaves and dry yellow aging branches and leaves, as long as in the pruning process does not cut off the root system, it won't be long before it will be scurrying all over the basin.
Care mint we also need to give it once a month to supplement the thin nitrogen fertilizer, if not pruned in time too many branches and leaves will not only affect the ornamental, but also consume excess nutrients, so that other branches and leaves can not absorb sufficient nutrients, can not better growth. And because the mint branches and leaves are relatively dense, we must pay attention to the maintenance process must often give it ventilation, after pruning ventilation can not only increase the ventilation distance between plants can also effectively prevent pests and diseases.
In addition, we cut down the branches can also be cuttings in the spring, so we will get a lot of new mint potted plants, to create a piece of mint in the home belongs to the world.
