For ground-grown mint, watering is mainly concentrated in the early and middle stages, which can promote the growth of roots, but also make the branches and leaves more lush, and then reduce watering in the later stage, so as not to grow wildly.If it is potted, watering period is mostly in spring and summer, when the temperature is higher, suitable for plant growth, until autumn and winter will be appropriate to control water.
Due to the differences in environment and climate, there is generally no fixed interval for watering mint. Ground planting is often watered once every 15 days or so. If the land is relatively humid, the watering interval can be extended. If it is dry, it should be watered in advance.For potted plants, it is generally necessary to check the degree of dryness and wetness of the soil for watering, usually in summer, the temperature is higher, every day, and sooner or later.
Watering peppermint usually uses rainwater or river water. If only tap water is available, it should be left for a few days or exposed to the sun before use. This will allow the chlorine in the water to volatilize and reduce the harm to plants.In addition, it can also be watered with rice washing water, which is very helpful for the development of plants because of its slight acidity.When watering, we should pay attention to the water temperature and not use cold water.
Watering must control the amount of water, although mint is more wet, but too high humidity will also have side effects, easy to affect the root of breathing, but also easy to breed bacteria.If you water too much, you need to discharge the water, and loosen the soil properly to accelerate the evaporation of water, so that the soil can dry as soon as possible.
