Peppermint ( Mentha Piperita ) Plant

Here are five short care tips for a healthy peppermint plant:

Sunlight – Prefers partial shade to full sun; 4–6 hours of sunlight daily is ideal.

Watering – Keep soil consistently moist but not soggy; water when the top inch feels dry.

Soil – Use well-draining, nutrient-rich soil; loamy or sandy soil works best.

Pruning – Regularly trim leaves to encourage bushy growth and prevent legginess.

Container Growth – If growing in a pot, ensure proper drainage and consider re-potting yearly to prevent root crowding.
