Why Mint Needs Specialized Nutrients

Mint requires specialized nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus to support its growth and essential oil production. These nutrients play crucial roles in enhancing leaf quality, promoting strong root development, and ensuring robust resistance to pests and diseases.

Watering

Ensure consistent moisture by watering when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.

Light

Place mint in a location that receives at least 4-6 hours of indirect sunlight daily.

Soil

Use well-draining, nutrient-rich soil to promote healthy growth and avoid waterlogging.

Additional Tips

Trim mint regularly to encourage bushy growth and harvest leaves frequently to maintain flavor and prevent flowering.
