How to raise potted mint well? Does peppermint purify the air?

When raising potted mint, you need to have fertile and loose soil, you need to have enough sunlight, and you need to water thoroughly when watering to keep the soil moist, but there should be no stagnant water, and the fertilization is mainly based on nitrogen fertilizer; Peppermint is able to purify the air.

I think it is possible to choose the loose soil that keeps the soil. In addition, to maintain breathability, it has to be a little better. Choose a fertile soil. It is able to purify the air.

I think that when this kind of mint is cultivated, we must pay attention to the time of light, and we must eat some fertilizer appropriately, and we should also pay attention to the changes in light and surrounding environment in ordinary life; Plants have the function of purifying the air.

Illumination. Peppermint likes abundant yangkai to change the light, and the sunlight is conducive to the formation of peppermint aroma. If the mint is kept indoors, it should be moved to a place with sufficient light in the Yang Hall every 3 days for 1-2 days, and then moved back indoors.

Temperature. Peppermint prefers warm climates, and the most suitable temperature for growing is 20-30 degrees. It is also very hardy, and even if the temperature drops to about 2 degrees Celsius in winter, the plant begins to wither and go dormant, and the next year it can sprout new branches from the rhizome.

Watering. Peppermint prefers moist soil environments and is more moisture-tolerant. During the growing period, it should be watered enough to keep the potting soil moist. However, avoid waterlogging, too wet potting soil will cause the plant to grow, the leaves to become thinner, and the lower leaves to fall off, and easy to suffer from disease infection.

Turn over the pot. Because mint grows quickly, it should be repotted once a year in spring. Peppermint is not strict on the soil, but prefers fertile, well-drained neutral or alkaline soils. The potting substrate can be prepared with materials such as humus, garden soil, chaff ash or coarse sand.

Trim. Pruning is done once a year in conjunction with repotting to encourage the growth of branches and leaves. If the plant is not growing vigorously, it is necessary to renew and prune the plant to return to strong growth.

In summer, when the stem is too tall and the ornamentation is affected, topping can be plucked, or foliar spraying with paclobutrazol solution can be used to control the height.

1. Soil conditions: When cultivating mint, you can choose fertile, ventilated sandy soil or alluvial soil. 2. The temperature is suitable

Plants are suitable for growing in the environment of 25 to 30. 3. Water and fertilizer management: water every 15 days during the growing season.

4. Precautions: Weeding should be done in time after planting, so as not to affect the quality of mint.

1. Soil environment

Peppermint is not strict on the soil, in addition to the acid or alkaline soil can be cultivated, in the cultivation of mint, suitable to choose fertile, ventilated sandy soil or alluvial soil, before breeding to the soil to apply a sufficient amount of base fertilizer, such as soil miscellaneous fertilizer, well-rotted compost, bone meal, etc.

2. The temperature is suitable

Peppermint has strong adaptability to temperature, can tolerate low temperatures of minus 15 degrees, but the plant is suitable for growing in the environment of 25 to 30 degrees, and at temperatures higher than 20 degrees, peppermint grows relatively quickly, and in the maintenance process, it is necessary to provide sufficient sunlight to the plant to promote the growth of peppermint.

3. Water and fertilizer management

Potted mint has a high demand for water, and it is necessary to keep the soil moist during daily maintenance, watering every fifteen days in the early and middle stages of growth, appropriately reducing the amount of watering during the flowering period, and starting to apply urea-based fertilizer after the mint seedlings are ten to fifteen cm high.

4. Precautions

After planting, mint needs to be cultivated between rows and weeded between plants to promote the growth of plant seedlings, and the weeds in the pot should be removed before harvesting, so as not to affect the quality of mint by the smell of weeds.

1. Preparation of potting soilWhen maintaining potted mint, start by choosing a moderately sized pot with a drained bottom, and a soft, fertile, well-drained sandy soil.

2. The environment is suitableKeep the mint in a sunny, ventilated place, and turn the pot once a week to make the mint receive even light.

3. Water and fertilizer methodsDuring the peak growth period of mint, it is necessary to water in time to keep the soil moist, but there should be no stagnant water, and apply thin liquid fertilizer every ten to twenty days.

In terms of soil, the cultivation of mint should choose a fertile sandy soil with loose soil and good drainage.

In terms of temperature, the cultivation temperature should be maintained at 20-30, and the mint is more cold-tolerant and can tolerate low temperatures of -15.

In terms of light, 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.

In terms of moisture, the cultivation of 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.

In terms of planting, the white thick rhizome should be dug up for planting, pruned into about 8 cm long root segments buried in the potting soil to cover the light, about 20 days or so can give birth to new branches, and the young stem head can also be cut in May and June for shading cuttings.

Raising potted mint requires attention to soil, watering, sunlight, temperature, fertilizer, etc.

1.Soil. Peppermint is not very strict on the soil, except for sandy, too sticky, too acid-alkali and low-lying poorly drained soil, the general soil can be planted. Soil pH should be pH 6.

2.Watering. Peppermint likes a moist soil environment and is more resistant to moisture, especially during the growth period to keep the soil moist, but the amount of water should not be too large, and it is strictly forbidden to be waterlogged.

When watering, it is necessary to maintain the habit of not drying out and watering, and watering thoroughly, and in winter, it is necessary to reduce the number of watering times and the amount of water.

3.Sunlight. Peppermint is generally cultivated as a potted plant in a semi-shady environment, that is, it is exposed to astigmatism rather than direct sunlight.

If it is placed on the balcony to breed, it can be placed on the back of the sun wall root, which can shade part of the sun, if it is indoor farming, it is best to put it 5 meters away from the balcony of the sun, so that it can be exposed to astigmatism.

4.Temperature. The load of thin stove has strong adaptability to temperature, and its rhizomes are stored for wintering.

The optimum temperature for its growth is 25 . The growth is slow when the temperature is lower than 15, and the growth is faster when the temperature is higher than 20. At around 20, as long as the water and fertilizer are suitable, the higher the temperature, the faster the growth.

5.Manure. Peppermint needs fertilizer for farming, and mint likes fertilizer, so fertilizer is applied once a month during its growth period. If the foliage needs to be harvested during the growing period, top dressing should be applied at the time of harvest to promote the recovery of the plant to good plant shape.

(1) Soil

Peppermint potted plants do not have too many requirements for the soil, ordinary soil can meet its growth needs, which provides great convenience for farmers who breed mint, sandy loam and humus soil can be cultivated. A pH of 6 is the most appropriate.

(2) Sunlight

Although peppermint is very fond of sunlight, excessive direct sunlight can also affect the growth of peppermint. It is necessary to avoid direct sunlight when placed on the balcony for breeding, and some places close to the wall can be used to have a certain buffering effect on sunlight. If it is cultivated indoors, it is recommended to place the potted plant close to the window so that the mint can better receive sunlight scattering and absorb the right amount of nutrients.

(3) Watering

Peppermint should keep the soil moist during the growth period, because mint prefers a moist environment, but everything should be done in moderation, so the amount of water should not be too large. When watering daily, if the soil is still moist, then there is no need to water, if the soil has no water, it needs to be watered, and it is necessary to pay attention to watering the soil thoroughly at one time, using rice water, the growth of mint will be better. It should be noted that in winter, it is necessary to reduce the frequency and amount of watering.

(4) Fertilizer

In daily maintenance, peppermint does not require special fertilization. It is recommended to add a small amount of basal fertilizer when changing pots in the spring.

Methods of reproduction

Asexual reproduction methods such as ramification propagation and cuttings propagation are the propagation methods usually chosen by mint farmers, among which ramikite propagation is the simplest and most convenient.

1) Dividing propagation.

Dividing is more convenient, because this method is not limited by time, and it is the most suitable method for large-scale propagation. First, a relatively healthy plant is used as the mother plant, and then the leaves of mint are spread on the soil surface and fertilized and watered normally. Over time, the stems that come into contact with the soil will sprout roots, and the last thing we need to do is to carefully cut the branches of these roots so that they can be transplanted.

2) propagation by cuttings.

This propagation method is mainly to cultivate the roots in late April, and select the branches with better growth on the mother plant as a cutting, leaving two or three leaves on the top, and the rest need to be carefully cut and must not hurt the branches. The prepared cuttings are then inserted into the soil, which is loose and moist. Soon you can see new shoots growing.
