There are three main propagation methods of Piper peppermint, i.e. sowing, branch and cutting. Among them, the most commonly used method is ramet method. First, take the plant out of the pot, select the thick rhizome from it, divide it into several sections, and plant them in the soft pot. After that, keep warm and soon they will be able to survive.

The root propagation of peppermint

In production, pepper peppermint is usually propagated by rhizome. The time of rhizome propagation is generally in autumn, from late October to early November.

Peppermint needs to be planted. Dig out the underground rhizome. Pay attention to the need to choose a white, thick rhizome. Cut the rhizome into small segments, about 10cm.

Plant the root of peppermint in a flowerpot or a pre dug trench. After planting, cover it with a thin layer of soil.

Peppermint seedling propagation

Seedling propagation is also a common method in peppermint production. Generally, it is necessary to select the land where the plants are relatively strong, grow neatly, and are healthy without diseases and insect pests. Harvest peppermint in autumn.

In the first ten days of April in spring, the seedlings of peppermint grow. When they grow to 15cm, they should be transplanted. When transplanting, it should be noted that there should be a gap of 20cm between the seedlings. Two peppermint plants can be planted in each hole.

After peppermint is planted, it needs to be covered with soil, then compacted, and some thin dung water can be poured to fix its roots.
