5. Watering and Care

  • Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering.
  • Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry.
  • If indoors, mist the leaves occasionally to maintain humidity.

6. Fertilizing for Healthy Growth

  • Use organic compost tea or diluted fish emulsion every 3–4 weeks.
  • Avoid excessive fertilizers, as mint grows vigorously with minimal feeding.

7. Managing Pests and Diseases

  • Aphids and Spider Mites: Spray with neem oil or soapy water.
  • Fungal Diseases: Ensure proper air circulation and avoid overwatering.
  • Slugs and Snails: Use crushed eggshells around the base to deter them.

8. Harvesting Mint

  • Start harvesting once the plant has multiple sets of leaves.
  • Pick leaves regularly to encourage new growth.
  • For continuous production, avoid letting the plant flower; pinch off flower buds as they appear.
