Mojito Mint Herb Plant in Pot 2.5 inch pot 100% Organic - NON-GMO Mentha x Villosa Plant. NO BARE ROOTS. For growing outdoors, select a damp/moist area with good drainage in your garden in either full sun or part shade. Plant about 2 feet apart. You can use a light mulch on top soil. This will help keep the soil moist and keep the leaves clean. Water them regularly to keep the soil evenly moist. Mint should grow to be 1 or 2 feet tall. At first, mints develop into well-behaved–looking bushy, upright clumps, but they soon set out to conquer new territory with horizontal runners and underground rhizomes. Unless you block the advance, a plant can turn into a sprawling 4-foot giant in just 1 year. Mint prefers fertile soil with a pH from 6.0 to 7.0. Mint is plenty vigorous on its own, but will appreciate a little fertilizer every few weeks, especially if you harvest a lot. Mints benefit from picking and pruning. Frequent harvesting is the key to keeping mint plants at their best. Young leaves have more flavour than old ones, and mint can be harvested as soon as it comes up in spring. Above ground pots will need winter protection in cold climates. Right before flowering, cut the stems 1 inch from the ground. You can harvest one mint plant two or three times in one growing season. You can also just pick the leaves as you need them.
