Mint is an aromatic plant widely used in cooking, and very rich in benefits for our health. In this article we explain to you how to grow mint at home , in a simple pot, so you always have some on hand.
Mint seeds can be planted in a simple pot with soil, taking care to provide good drainage. Water, just after sowing, is very important, as is the position of the plant, which must receive indirect light.
The plant needs an internal temperature of around 18-21 degrees during the day and 13-15 at night. Place the seedling near an east-facing window in the spring and a southwest-facing window during the summer.
For mint to grow indoors, it’s important to keep the soil moist, but not overdo it with water. When the top of the soil is dry to the touch, it’s time to pour water on it.
Sunlight is also important. Turn the plant every 3 to 4 days to give it a more even look – plants tend to lean towards the light.
Mint leaves should be picked periodically to make room for smaller ones. The flavor of the leaves is most intense in the moments before flowering.
