Farming methods

1. Choose suitable soil

When growing mint, you must choose suitable soil. It has strong vitality and is not demanding on the soil. However, soil that is too acidic or too alkaline is not suitable for growing mint. It is best to choose fertile, loose, and air-permeable sandy soil. When preparing the culture soil, you also need to add soil fertilizer, capital, and superphosphate as base fertilizer.

2. Reproduction method

When cultivating mint flowers, you must have a comprehensive understanding of its reproduction methods. It mainly has two reproduction methods: rhizome reproduction and division reproduction. When there are not enough seed buds, you can also use cuttings for reproduction. When you usually make mint flowers into potted plants, you will often choose the division reproduction method. After taking out the healthy plants, you can directly transplant them into the pots.

3. Daily management

Daily management is also very important in growing mint. It is a green plant that grows very fast and usually has a very high demand for fertilizer, especially after entering the peak growing season. It should be top-dressed every 10 to 15 days. You can choose a thin cake fertilizer, or you can apply an appropriate amount of nitrogen fertilizer and phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, which can promote the rapid growth of its stems and leaves.

Breeding precautions

The method of cultivating mint flowers is relatively simple, but you must pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases and pests during the cultivation process. This plant is prone to various diseases such as leaf spot and rust during its growth period. At this time, the diseased leaves should be removed in time and kept away from the plant, and then sprayed with Bordeaux solution or carbendazim. When cultivating mint flowers, it is also prone to silver moths. After this disease occurs, the leaves are severely damaged and need to be sprayed with trichlorfon in time for treatment.
