Why did I buy a well grown potted mint and die within a few days of taking it home?

After you have a market to buy flowers, you need to change the soil when you get home, because the flower seller manages every day, drenches water, and sprays, mainly because his soil is not easy to preserve water, so when you arrive at your house, your management is not as good as that of selling flowers, so it is easy to die; Next time, the main thing is to change the soil first, and replace it with flower soil with strong water retention.

The potted plants I bought grew very well and died, and they died after a few days when I got home, which has something to do with the soil.

The soil you use is yellow clay, which is hard and dry, which is not conducive to the growth of plants at all.

Cultivation method of potted mint and cause of death:

First, mint needs plenty of sunlight, if you raise mint, you must put it in a sunny place, don't worry about the sun in summer, if the sun is insufficient, the mint is easy to grow, the leaves are not big, and it is particularly thin. A whole pot may become smaller and smaller.

Second, raising mint requires sufficient water, hydroponics can also be used, but soil culture will grow better. If you don't water it for a few days, the inside of the pot will be very dry, and even the leaves will dry and wither, don't worry, as long as the root has vitality, and then water, it will soon regain its former vitality.

3. Growing mint requires fertile and soft soil. If the pot is too small, or the soil is too little for nutrients to keep up, it will grow very slowly. Therefore, use breathable and water-permeable, very fertile soil.

Ordinary garden soil, humus soil. Add a little Bika granular fertilizer, and it's good. It is not picky about the soil.

Fourth, if you want to burst the pot of mint, the mint grows very fast and very lush, there is a little trick, that is, change the pot once a year, in spring or autumn. If you change to a larger pot, the soil will be more fertile, and it will grow faster, because it is the same as the spider plant, and even the root system develops faster than the spider plant, and it can quickly occupy the entire pot.

Fifth, mint is very cheap, often pruned, use its leaves to make tea or something, there is no problem, the more you cut the more lush, often loosen the soil, or add some soil, or fertilize, it will grow faster. Be sure to place it on the balcony in a ventilated area.

6. Even if it snows in winter, the mint leaves in the pot are withered and look lifeless, don't worry, they will sprout and grow the next spring. Its vitality is tenacious and it does not freeze to death. It is better not to plant it in a flower bed, as it will encroach on the entire area of the flower bed.

Grab the nutrients of other plants.

Summary. After the mint sprouts, it all withered, and there are several reasons.

After the mint sprouts, it all withered, and there are several reasons.

1. The potting soil is not breathable, this foam box, the bottom is best to have drainage holes, if it is watered too much, or it rains, the water accumulates more and more in the box, resulting in the mint roots soaked in water, and the roots are rotten when the bubble grows, and the leaves and branches are not big at all, so punch holes or replace the pots in time.

2. Although mint is more tenacious and solid, it is not picky about the soil, but it is easy to compact, and the soil without fertility is not conducive to its growth.

3. When mint sprouts, when the seedlings emerge, it is still a small seedling, which is not suitable for immediate fertilization, and it is not too late to fertilize when the branches grow strong, otherwise it is too much fertilizer at a time, or if raw fertilizer is used, it will burn the roots and burn the leaves.

4. Don't water too much for the time being, so as not to cause water accumulation, and water again when the potting soil is dry. Usually bask in the sun, and do not put the mint planted indoors in a closed and unventilated place. Ventilation and light can grow well, and the temperature drops immediately, which is more conducive to the growth of plants.

Peppermint still has roots in the soil, and as long as it doesn't rot completely, it will continue to sprout.

The mint leaves that you bought home are wilting, which may be caused by too much sunlight or insufficient moisture. The mint bought at home has not yet adapted to the new climate environment, and the growth rate is slow, so it is necessary to control water, avoid light and stop fertilizer during the maintenance period. Too much light will burn the leaves of the mint, and the leaves will wilt, and the lack of water will cause the mint to lack water, and the leaves will wilt and wilt.

Peppermint likes light, but the mint you just bought home has not adapted to the new environment, so don't give mint light. If you put mint in a well-lit location, the leaves of mint will wilt and wilt if the light is too strong. If it is caused by too strong light, you need to cut off the dead leaves, and move the mint to a warm and ventilated environment to maintain it and avoid strong light.

The mint you buy at home needs to adapt to the new environment, and you need to control the water during the maintenance period, but make sure that the soil is well hydrated. If there is not enough water, the mint is in a state of water shortage, the roots, stems, and leaves are starved of water, and the leaves will wilt or dry out. If it is caused by insufficient water, it is necessary to replenish the mint with water in time and keep the soil moist.

Peppermint likes temperature, the temperature suitable for its growth is between 15 and 30 degrees, and the temperature is between 20 and 30 degrees, and the growth rate of peppermint is relatively fast. During the curing period, if the ambient temperature is below 15 degrees, the mint will grow poorly, and the leaves will wilt. If the warmth is too low, you need to cut off the wilted leaves and move them to a warm place for maintenance.

During the growth period, mint can be attacked by pests and diseases when the growth is too poor or the environment is not comfortable. After being attacked by pests and diseases, the leaves of mint will wilt and wither in the early stage, slowly grow spots, and the leaves will turn yellow, dry out or fall off in the later stage. If the mint is infested by pests and diseases, after pruning the leaves, spray it to remove the disease and insects.

This is a normal phenomenon, the mint after planting should not be exposed to the sun, and it is easy to cause dehydration and death after sunning.

1) The main reason is that the root system is damaged to varying degrees during planting, the injured root system will affect its absorption function, the absorption of water is reduced or in the suspension, at this time, it cannot provide water to the leaves and the leaves evaporate water does not decrease, and the leaf water loss will produce the phenomenon of softening and sagging. At this time, some of the old leaves or diseased yellow leaves at the bottom can be cut off, mainly to reduce the evaporation of water and improve the survival rate. When the root system recovers, the leaves will return to normal.

2) It is not easy to bask in the sun after changing pots and watering to prevent dehydration from affecting the survival rate, and it is beneficial to restore growth in an indoor sunny and ventilated place. After watering is not easy to be too wet, see the potting soil has a whitish feeling or a sense of cracks before watering through, there is a sense of dampness without watering, so that watering after drying is conducive to the recovery and growth of the root system.

Peppermint likes shade, water more, and you're good to go.

Water thoroughly ahead of time before the sun comes out.

When the sun comes out, cover it with a black gauze.

Leave it alone, very lively, watered in the evening or morning, the leaves will stretch.

As long as the mint is watery, it doesn't matter how it is sunned, don't add fertilizer water, just add enough water after the sun, and then it must be ventilated.

The stems of the mint turn purple and do not affect its growth, and the branches and leaves of this pot of mint grow and should be pruned. The stems of mint grow from tender to old, and when they become thicker, they will change color, which is a sign of their normal growth and adaptation to the environment. As for the scattered stems and leaves, it is expected to grow long, so it is recommended to keep about 5cm and prune the rest of the stems and leaves.

After pruning, the mint will grow more robustly, which is conducive to the formation of the plant, and the growth will seriously affect the ornamental value of the mint. Peppermint likes sunlight, humid environment, does not have high requirements for planting soil, and is simple to cultivate. The whole plant is green and fragrant, with dual functions of medical treatment and edible, the main edible parts are stems and leaves, and can also be juiced.

In terms of consumption, peppermint can be used as both a flavoring agent and a spice.

Peppermint mint will be built when it grows to a certain extent, 12 to 20 cm tall can be built, too high will lodging and the taste will become weaker and weaker, and finally it will dry up. It will grow back after being cut off.

Field management. 1. Check the seedlings and replant. After the seedlings are basically all in the field, the seedlings should be checked in time, and the points and pieces of the missing seedlings or sparse seedlings should be replanted.

2. Cultivating and weeding. After the whole seedlings, weeding is carried out in the rows, and the weeding is carried out manually between the plants to maintain moisture, increase (ground) temperature, eliminate weeds, and promote the growth of seedlings. Cultivating and weeding 2 3 times before closing. Pull out the weeds in the field before harvesting to prevent the smell of other weeds from affecting the quality of peppermint oil.

3. Timely topdressing. When the seedling height is 10 15cm, ditch and top dressing, apply 10kg of urea per mu, and spray 5ml of Shibao + Trim potassium dihydrogen phosphate g + urea 150g twice after the closure of the row.

4. Scientific watering. Peppermint needs more water in the early and middle stages, especially in the early stage of growth, the root system has not yet been formed, and it needs more water, generally about 15 days to water a water, from the emergence of seedlings to the harvest to water 4 5 times. After the closure of the row, it should be watered lightly to avoid the crazy growth of stems and leaves, lodging, causing the lower leaves to fall off and reducing the yield.

20-25 days before harvest without water.

It is normal for the stems to turn purple. Although the young stem of peppermint is green, as it grows, the stem turns purple as it ages.

This pot of mint is a bit long, and if you want to take care of it, you can prune it, leaving two to three knots on the soil surface, and the rest of the cut branches can be used for cuttings. If there is a sunny place in the house, it is recommended to move the trimmed mint over.

It is normal for the stem of the mint to turn purple, and then the mint on the ** is a little lacking in light, resulting in the growth of the alumni, you wrap her around the chopsticks you inserted, and then give it enough light, and it will grow well in the later stage.

It may be that the cultivation management method is incorrect.

When potting mint, choose a fertile sandy soil with loose soil and good drainage. The temperature is 20-30, and the cold resistance is strong, and it can tolerate low temperatures of -15. Prefer sunlight, should ensure sufficient light, can effectively ensure the normal flowering of mint.

To keep the potting soil wet, the flowering period appropriately reduce the water **.

1. Soil.

The cultivation of mint should choose a fertile sandy soil with loose soil and good drainage.

2. Temperature.

The cultivation temperature should be maintained at 20-30, and the mint has strong cold tolerance and can tolerate low temperatures of -15.

3. Lighting.

Peppermint naturally likes sunlight, and sufficient light should be ensured, which can effectively ensure the normal flowering of peppermint, and can promote the accumulation of peppermint oil and menthol.

4. Moisture.

Cultivating mint requires more water, and it is usually necessary to keep the potting soil wet, especially in the early and middle stages of growth, and the flowering period can appropriately reduce the amount of water.

5. Planting.

When selecting branches, the white thick rhizome should be dug up for planting, pruned into about 8 cm long root segments and buried in the potting soil, about 20 days later, new branches can be generated, and the young stem head can also be cut in the shade and cuttings in May and June.

6. Nutrients.

Potassium dihydrogen phosphate can be appropriately sprayed to supplement nutrients.
