In the cozy atmosphere of the home, few things can compete with the freshness and intoxicating fragrance of aromatic plants. In addition to their culinary value, these herbs are also incomparable allies for scenting the corners of our homes, with the aromatic splendor of mint standing out in particular. If you’re looking for a clever way to always have a touch of mentholated freshness at hand while also beautifying your space, we have a suggestion that will delight you. We’ll show you how to grow mint plants in a simple cup—a charming and original idea specially designed for those who appreciate home fragrance without sacrificing space. In addition to its exquisite fragrance, mint also has medicinal properties that make it an invaluable ally for health. Known for its digestive, expectorant, and calming properties, this plant proves to be indispensable in any home.
For this indoor project you will need the following items:
A sufficiently large ceramic mug.
Masking tape.
Drill.
Fertilizer.
Potting soil.
Water. Mint seeds
. Here’s how to do it step by step:
Turn the cup upside down and mark two evenly spaced spots with masking tape, where you will drill two holes. These holes will ensure adequate drainage for the plant.
Mix the fertilizer with potting soil and fill the cup.
Place some mint seeds on top of the soil and lightly cover them with an additional layer of substrate. The seeds don’t need to be buried deeply; just cover with a thin layer of soil.
Monitor the seeds’ development and watch them grow into tender mint plants.
Water only when the soil is dry and avoid over-moisture in the limited space of the cup.
Place the cup in a spot that receives direct sunlight in the morning but is shaded in the afternoon to protect the plant from excessive heat.
With this simple method, you will not only add freshness and beauty to your home but also reap the many benefits of mint for your well-being. Dare to cultivate your own fragrant oasis!
