- For most gardeners, having a pot of mint in the herb garden is a must. But mint is more than just it's flavourful refreshing leaves.
Watch this video to understand a mint plant before you start a mint patch in your garden.
To add to this video, here's a video of how you can propagate mint from cuttings or stems:
• HOW TO GROW MINT PLANT...
#mint #mintleaves #mintplant
this is such a good video! None of the other pruning mint videos talk about how mint is such a mess at the base and how to solve it. Underrated!
Thank you. Glad it helps. Mint needs constant housekeeping really. Otherwise they do get unruly. Have a nice day 😊
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday Thank you too! By the way, I was thinking about repotting my mint from its claying soil to a more loamy one. I watched your other video on mint hoping to see how you might split up a mint plant but it never happened! Do you have any tips or suggestions for that?
If your pot is badly tangled in anyway..what u could do is soak in water so your soil can loosen out and then its easier for you to split them up. So long their stems hv roots mint can regrow back very quickly. So loosen up the soil and single out stems or sections with roots n plant them back into new soil. Water regularly by keeping soil moist...Put away from direct sun or harsh temperature for 2 to 3 days..then they be good to go out again
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday Thank you so much, will try that!
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday I've been trying to grow mint but I just can't seem to get them started from seed any tips?
In Pakistan we mostly use mint for spicy sauce with fresh chilli, coriander leaves, pomegranate seeds, walnut, salt, fresh mint leaves, and yogurt.
Sounds like chutney and its the recipe used here for indian cuisines. Lovely. I like new ideas for mint. They grow too fast!
We got some wild mint growing on my dog's grave outside so I've decided to propogate it!
It's lovely you'll have that reminder and memories when you care for your mint. :) What a sweet memorial.
😢😢❤
u gottaeat that?
“Invasive” and I couldn’t even have them living 😂
Me too!! Im trying again now for the 8-10th time 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Me 2 😂
I failed twice
But I succeeded after trying the water bottle method. When roots started to form, I planted them in soil. 2 out of 20 survived, and after a few months, these two started invading my gardnlen.
My advice to you is to plant as many as you can. Eventually, some will survive.
Same here 😢
Mint!!! I love this plant.Fresh lemon with mint in the summer.....🙂👌
:) yes i love mint too. Like to have them with diced cucumbers onions and tomatoes sprinkled with some lemon juice!
Once a year I trim low and let my pot dry out, then don’t water it for a week till the nest like bottom stems have dried, then I light it on fire 🔥, couple minutes then water to put out anything still burning, they come back and my nest mess is cleaned up. The ash probably good for it too, so it seems, no knowledge of science behind it to support, just my observation.
Wow. Exactly to the point. Very helpful. Thank you.
Glad you think so!
Thanks for sharing , I can learn so much from your video🙏🌱🍃☘️💚💚💚😘
i have a pot of it in my room and im letting it grow free cause i want the vines the hang down, its on top of two old speakers right next to a window so it can get light in the best spot.
I came here for mint and i read this is a deep epic dialogue while the music went hard 🤣
Very simple and informative video thank you.
Could you share with us on how much water the mint needs? And when to water them?
Depends where u are located and your weather. For me it's hot and sunny here so the plant must be watered fully daily.. Once a day. The best way to check is soil moisture.. If still wet don't water yet. Water when it's close to drying out
Thank you for your valuable reply and I hope you keep inspiring many more florists all over the world.
Keep up the great work🙏
Your camera is superior！ Can’t help to love the color of spearmint! I decided to save my dying looking spearmint - thanks for your video🎉👌
Thank you hope it works for you 💚
So can you please tell me that this is Spearmint .which all of us Indians know as mint (podina) Plz reply. .....
My mint plant is dying but I'm gonna take your advice thank you ♥️
great information sharing, but why so dramatic music is it worse than japanese knotweed or something deadly?
Thank you,
No, it just literally takes over everything. 😁😅🤣😂 Do not plant it in the ground, only containers. I made the mistake of planting it in my raised bed for pest control. It seems to work on that front, but it's root system will take over the space I need for the other things. It needs it's own container. I agree the music is a bit much.
The music is so distracting. I hate when the play music so loud you can’t read or hear if they are speaking. And these tubers think we like the same music which is so false.
Do without the music please.
Maap ikut nimbrung nih baru jumpa cenel ini ,mantap koleksi nya apa ni from Indonesia 👍
hai saya dari Malaysia terima kasih telah mengunjungi saluran saya. sangat istimewa bisa bertemu dengan penonton dari Indonesia. saya tumbuh sayurnya di rumah :)
😔 I too have been a victim of this dark side of mint 😈
Head this warning and protect your loved ones! ⚠️ 🚨
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Woah!!!
Very good information in just a short video. Straight and too the point. Thanks alot for sharing your experiences with us. This is going to change my mint game right NOW. Gotta go
you are most welcome. Hope your mint comes around beautifully :)
So basically this video is warning u that u will always have fresh mint for cooking all week ✅ got it
I am planning to let it spread with different varieties across my garden… wish me luck
Wow thats brave of you! But your garden will smell so good!
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday yeah!
Aww cute lil invasive plant 🥹
This gives me an idea. Can mint crowd out poison ivy? If so I wouldn't mind it getting invasive in my back yard!
Might as well grow some in pots and then propogate cuttings
The music was AWESOME!!! Are you kidding me?? What was that??? Very cool!!! Do you have a mint.....?
It’s my first time being a plantita. I bought my first plant, peppermint, but sadly, it didn’t live long. I also planted aloe vera, and it’s now dying, just like my snake plant😢.
Thanks for sharing
Very nice
Thankyou sis loved the video ❤️
Hey there! I tried growing mint trice and they all died. The first two i realised that it overwatered during the rainy season simply because the ony place i have on the porch with bright light is too near to the rain gutter.
So the third time i put it on my backyard where it got bright indirect evening light. I put it right next to my thriving basil plant and only watered once and yet 2-3 days later i noticed the crown started to become black and affected stem would have wilted leaves. The soil is still moist so i ignored the plant. 2 days later, plant got worse so i quickly took it from the pot to check if got root rot.
Overall root was fine. Only the crown turn black so i divide the plant, removed any dead stem, use hydrogen peroxide and repot again the remaining plant with healthy crown with fresh potting mix. And it still died.
I don't understand how this happen. I gave them the same care that i gave to my basil and yet they have different outcome eventhough technically they're from the same family species.
Since you're fellow Malaysian, maybe you know few tips on how to properly grow mint in Malaysian wheather. I really appreciate your advise. Pleaseeee help me growing mint too 😭😭😭
Hi. Mint needs a bright spot like full sun :). You may want to consider moving it out to full sun area. But avoid one directional light like sun coming through directly one way. For watering and potting medium...go with well draining soil. My pot will get full sun and once a day deep watering. Do give tht a try
Thank you for this. What do you use to control pests while still making it Edible?
I do not use any pest control if I may suggest try néem oil/baking soda mixture (Google) but from personal experience it will work slow and requires careful and controlled amount. Over usage may also harm the plant.
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday Thank you I thought about not using any but this helps a lot. Thank you for your response and keep the videos coming
@@thereerhunter2314 one TBSP yeast, 2 TBS sugar and a 5 gallon bucket of water. Now Fill the 5 gallon bucket with water. Take about a quart of that water and mix in the sugar and yeast. Let sit covered lightly for 24 hours. Not tight because it rises and will pop the lid off. Pour that mixture back into the 5 gallon bucket. Stir well.
Feed each plant one cup of the mixture twice a month.
Helps keep pests away and feeds the plant. I learned this from another Gardner here on TH-cam. I tried it and omg I was amazed. Results for growth and green leaves within 2 days and I don’t see any more pests around the plants. Can’t hurt to give it a try. Yeast is very beneficial to plants.
If you let it sit more than 48 hours it has a rancid smell. Use it right away. Within 24-36 hours. I let mine sit figuring I have a batch ready to go when I took the cover off I almost lost my lunch. Bad disgusting smell. Putrid.
How do you water yout mint and how do you fertilize them? They look so good and healthy. I'm envious.
Am sure you can grow it healthy too :). Give it full sun, and water it deep daily...and fertilizer weekly in organic humus liquid fertilizer...if not can drop in some slow release chicken manures
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday Thank you for answering! I appreciate it ❤
thank you thank you!!
🥰🥰🥰
To be honest I have a baby plant and I don't have any problems with the dark side u are talking about. I just need it to grow and live
What are u spraying it with to prevent bugs?
Does peppermint plants grow back next year if they die off this year? Or do I have to keep buying them to replac? Cause I really want to just buy a set in. Not have to replace it for next year.
Great video. Any idea of why my mint plants are curling at the top?
Yea mines is curling too im not sure why.
I've encountered that once but did not know what caused it. Could it likely be watering, my guess. Suggest to check the soil it should be moist but not wet. And trim the tops let the plant regrow.
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday yea we’ve yet to trim n propagate so she has some long stems. Just learned today how to do that so ill do it tomorrow n make some new babies. Right now all the curling leaves are on her latest two tallest stems reaching for the stars. Looks like the twin towers.
Well .. I have been trying to grow this "CURSE" 😭 it is taking so long to grow .
Never been able to grow mint, either in pots or in the ground...it just ups and dies on me soon after getting started.
Something is not enough for the plant? Check if it is sun or water etc. Try changing the place of growing you can know if the sun amount works for your plant in the environment.
Hey! What type of pest and diseases are you referring to? I was going to grow some peppermint as an indoor plant.
Can mint plant keep mealy bugs off other plants in the garden??
What type of mint is that?
I bought some mint for the grocery store and decided to just transplant it to its own pot. It’s growing but idk what kind.
oh mine is the mint you would typically use in a mojito..
Here I have tried 3 times to grow it unsuccessfully and u are saying it takes over the garden lol😂😂
My mint leaves turn dark or brown, I am not so sure about the reason, will strong sunlight kill mint plant? I put at a place where it receive direct sunlight.
Mint cannot be at direct sun. They do burn. But if your plant is over watered it may also turn black.
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday thank you so much !! I am moving them away from direct sunlight !!
How long does a pot of mint take to regrow after being cut right back please ?
Given the right weather and sun they will grow back lush within 2 weeks
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday Wow ! Thank you.
hamare mints plants par chote chote kala insects aa gaee hei sara plant ghraab ho geaa hei kya kre
stray runners? WTH is a runner? What constitutes a tangle? The whole plant tangles with itself.
Does mint want sun or shade?
Sun :)
I have a huge mint plant it's doing very well except it has no flavor at all
Why does my mint die after growing nicely for a week from cuttings.
Guys, can mint leaves live on just water?
There was a complete absence of information regarding the removal of the mint curse - disappointing. Sincerly, still cursed by mint.
Yesterday I tried to plant new mint cuttings in a pot already containing mint and saw that some mint roots are red,is it bad for the plant or is it how roots normally are?I'm a bit confused
Hi. Usually the roots are white..or do you mean the stems are red? If the roots are not black or rotting or mushy your plant shld do fine. As for stems and leaves if they turn colour it may indicate lack of nutrients :)
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday Thanks for replying to my comment!,I figured it wasn't a root but a rhizome
I just learned about chocolate mint and finally ordered seeds for these plants. Can’t wait until they come in. I’m so excited!!!im so happy to found someone talking about caring for mint plants
@@mypurpleflower6585 wow you are lucky. We cant find chocolate mint here at where i am and i hv no clue how that mint tastes like. Just not in our local market or even grocer. I don't know if i will ever see that here hehe.
Good luck and happy to talk about plants plants plants :)
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday my daughter bought some seeds for me from Amazon. We spent all day on the hunt and no luck.
Hi.. I tried to grow mint but didn't get success in it.. i noticed there are some tiny white insect in it.. they kind of jump or hop here & there.. I don't have much knowledge about them.. can u pls guide me how to take care of that.. plz
Hi. It sounds like white flies. You can get an organic pesticide to spray or alternatively what i would do is trim off all affected areas. Leave the plant and let it grow back. If your plant roots are healthy and not affected mint is quite sturdy and resilient they will grow and spread again.
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday thanks 😊
I sprinkle a little coffee grounds on and around my mint pot for pest control
My mint plant was just labeled mint when I bought it, the app says peppermint, but mine doesn't look like yours. It tastes like spearmint.
Mine is only green colored.
What kind of mint plant is this, my stems are not that thick?
This is the mint used in mojito? I think it's called spearmint
@@GROWSOMETHINGGREENtoday I looked it up, it maybe chocolate mint
What can i do wen the soil becomes very compact?
U need to loosen the hardened soil. Aerate and loosen the top half layer with tools then add fresh soil to it. This is always necessary for potted plants.
Is this a Papermint or spearmint
Which mint is this ? Type ?
Altoids are the best mints
Mojitooooooooo
Nice mint, mine is diseased.
Sorry to hear that. If the roots are still ok... snip away all the leaves, they will grow back stronger and healthier :)
Me too, I just found out the leaves are dropping because of rust. I figured it might be too late but why not try so I took the 2 healthy clippings and am propagating them, as for the original plant it is cut down to the roots
How to increase mental levels when growing mint
What kind of mint is that you've shown?
These are the mint used in a mojito drink. Here it's called pudina.
👏👏👏👏👏👍🙏
My mint never spread inch
This is so exaggerated. We have about 23 varieties of mint in our garden. Only 2 or 3 of them tend to grow out fast, the rest is slow and certainly not as strong as most native weeds. Even mentha Aquatica which is native where we live is not that invasive. It stays in areas about 3 square meters per family, never beyond that. Mint is not invasive. It hardly ever spreads through seeds, and the only way it propagates is when it has space and sufficient nutrients for itself.
Theres good & bad of basically all medicinal plants
Lololp grow it and use it 😅😅😅😅😅
Weak
F
Thank you very much
use TEXT TO SPEECH generic voices wow this is so hard to watch and why so much emphasis on cutting it back i get it it's like strawberry plants and no it's never been a dream to grow mint i'm only growing it because it's supposed to keep some pests away and you know what i want it to grow everywhere as long as it does deal with some pests (i can let it grow everywhere because of where i'm growing it).
AND YOU SAYS -- CURSE --???
