The cultivation of peppermint should choose the fertile sandy soil with loose soil and good drainage.
The cultivation temperature should be kept at < span > 20-30 < /span > ℃, and the cold resistance of mint is strong, which can bear the low temperature of < span > - 15 < /span > ℃.
Peppermint is fond of sunshine. It should have sufficient light, which can effectively ensure the normal flowering of peppermint, and promote the accumulation of peppermint oil and menthol.
The water demand of cultivated peppermint is relatively large, so it is usually necessary to keep the basin soil slightly wet, especially in the early and middle stages of growth. The water supply can be appropriately reduced in the flowering stage.
When selecting branches, we should dig out the thick and strong white rhizomes for planting, trim them to a length of about < span > 8 < /span > cm and bury them in the basin soil. After about < span > 20 < /span > days, we can produce new branches, and also can cut the young rhizomes in the shade in the month of < span > 5-6 < /span >.
