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.
