  • Soil: Prefers well-draining, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0.
  • Planting Depth: Sow seeds just below the surface, about 1/4 inch deep.
  • Spacing: Maintain a spacing of 12-18 inches between plants to allow for adequate growth.
• Planting:
  • Sunlight: Mint thrives in partial to full sunlight. Aim for at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily.
  • Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant regularly, especially during dry spells.
  • Fertilizing: Use organic compost or a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to promote healthy growth.
  • Pruning: Regularly trim the plant to encourage bushier growth and prevent it from becoming too leggy.
  • Pests/Diseases: Watch out for common pests like aphids and spider mites. Use neem oil or organic insecticides if needed.
• Additional Tips:
  • Mint can be invasive, so consider planting it in containers or pots to control its spread.
