How to pour mint properly - that's what matters
The geographical location of the home countries of mint indicates it; the herb plant thrives only in fresh-moist soil. This results in an adequate water requirement as the mainstay of successful care. We explain here how to pour mint properly.
Mint is a thirsty fellow - so you pour right
In contrast to the vast majority of herb plants, mint species require a constantly moist soil. This requirement should already be taken into account when choosing the location. When properly watering, proceed as follows:
The tight volume of the bucket requires more water than the bed. Therefore, check daily with the thumb sample whether to pour. If the first 2-3 centimeters of the substrate feel dry, they are watered. A coaster should be emptied after 20-30 minutes to prevent waterlogging.
Water in the winter at Kahlfrost
Winter spoils us with bright sunshine and crisp frost, threatening mints drought stress. If the snow is left out as a water supplier, the roots do not get damp either underground or above ground. On non-forestry days, mint plants are therefore poured a little.
Tips & Tricks
The frequency of pouring mint can be easily reduced by cultivating the herbs in the pot in hydroponic culture. They develop fleshy roots of water in a mix of water and mineral substrate, which use their own supplies. Only every 2 to 3 weeks, this supply of water is replenished.
