  • Watering

    Peppermint, likes consistently moist soil. Water your peppermint plants when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Ensure a thorough watering, allowing excess water to drain away. While peppermint can tolerate brief periods of dryness, regular and even moisture contributes to its robust growth and aromatic leaves. Avoid waterlogged conditions, as peppermint prefers well-drained soil.

  • Harvesting

    To harvest peppermint cut the stems just above a pair of leaves. Ensure you use sharp scissors or pruning shears to make precise cuts. Harvesting can be done at any time during the growing season, and it's often recommended to prune the plant regularly to encourage bushier growth. Additionally, harvesting peppermint before it flowers can result in better flavor.
