Mint

Mint Herb Plant

Lively and Refreshing

Mint is a vigorous, easy-to-grow herb with bright, fragrant leaves. Perfect for teas, desserts, or a fresh garnish, it grows well indoors and outdoors.

Light & Temperature:
Mint prefers bright indirect light or morning sun. It grows well in a range of temperatures but thrives around 65–70°F.

Watering:
Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy. Mint grows quickly, so regular watering is important to keep it lush.

Feeding:
Feed every 3–4 weeks with a balanced fertilizer for continuous, vibrant growth.

Repotting Tips:
Mint spreads fast and can quickly become root-bound. Move it to a larger pot every season if needed, using well-draining soil. Mint tolerates gentle pruning of roots during repotting.

Harvesting:
Pinch leaves regularly to promote bushy growth. Mint responds well to frequent trimming, which keeps it flavorful and prevents it from taking over.
