4. Precautions

Mint watering is mainly concentrated in the early and middle stages, which is beneficial to the growth of roots and the luxuriance of branches and leaves. In the later stages, water must be properly controlled to prevent the plants from growing wildly, causing lodging and reduced yields. Ground plants are generally watered every 15 days. If they are potted plants, they should be watered frequently in spring and summer. In summer, they can be watered twice a day to avoid excessive water loss. In addition, pay attention to water quality and temperature. Use river water or rainwater for irrigation. The water temperature should be close to room temperature.

1. Watering time

For ground-planted mint, watering is mainly concentrated in the early and middle stages, which can promote the growth of roots and make the branches and leaves become more lush. Wait until the later stages. Watering should be reduced to prevent the plants from growing wildly. If it is a potted plant, the watering period is mostly in spring and summer, when the temperature is higher and suitable for plant growth. It is necessary to control the water appropriately in autumn and winter.

2. Watering interval

Due to differences in environment and climate, there is generally no fixed interval for watering mint. For ground planting, it is often watered once every 15 days. If the land is relatively humid, the watering interval can be extended. If it is dry, water it in advance. For potted plants, it is generally necessary to check the dryness and moisture of the soil before watering. Usually in summer, when the temperature is high, watering should be done every day, once in the morning and once in the evening.

3. Water quality and temperature

Give Mint is generally watered with rainwater or river water. If tap water is only available, it should be left for a few days or exposed to the sun before use. This can allow the chlorine in the water to evaporate and reduce the harm to the plants. In addition, you can also use rice water for watering. Because it contains slightly acidic water, it is very helpful for the development of plants. Pay attention to the water temperature when watering, and do not water with cold water.

IV. Precautions

Pouring The amount of water must be controlled. Although mint prefers humidity, too high humidity will have side effects, easily affecting the breathing of the roots and breeding bacteria. If you water too much, you need to drain the water and loosen the soil properly to speed up the evaporation of water and let the soil dry out as soon as possible.
