There are two ways to make mint take root. The first is hydroponic rooting. Cut strong and growing mint branches and insert them directly into clear water. Remove the leaves submerged in the water and replace them once a day. With clean water, mint will take root in 2-3 days, which is very easy. The second method is to cultivate roots in soil. Cut strong mint branches and insert them into the soil. Place them in a cool and ventilated place. Keep the soil slightly moist. Wait a week or two for the mint to take root.

1. Hydroponic rooting: There are two ways to make mint take root. The first is hydroponic rooting. Cut off the strong growing mint branches from the mother plant, prepare a cup of water, insert the cut mint branches directly into the water, and remove the leaves submerged in the water. Change the water once a day, and the mint will be ready in 2-3 days. Rooting is very easy.

2. Rooting in soil: In addition to hydroponics, you can also cut mint branches and insert them into moist pot soil to take root directly. For rooting in soil, we need to use moist soil for cuttings, and then wait until the surface of the soil turns white and dries out. When the soil in the pot feels noticeably lighter, water the soil and water. Do not always water the mint before it takes root to avoid stem rot. .

It is best to convert the mint root system to soil cultivation in time when it grows to 2cm long. After converting to soil cultivation, do not expose it to the sun and place it in a cool and ventilated place. After a week, it will gradually increase in light and keep the soil moist until the mint has an obvious growth trend. , get more sun to prevent mint from growing too much.

If I feel that the survival rate of mint cuttings is low if they are cut in the soil. You can cut the walking stems (stolons) of the mint, cut the stems into several small sections, bury them in the soil, and keep the small leaves exposed. Keep the soil slightly moist, and the rooting survival rate is as high as 100%.
