Mojito Mint Plant - USDA Organic

1. Planting: Choose a pot with good drainage to contain your Organic Mojito Mint. Fill it with nutrient-rich, well-drained soil, preferably with a bit of compost added. Place your pot in a location that receives partial to full sunlight, as mint thrives in such conditions while enjoying some afternoon shade.

2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. The mint plant enjoys regular watering, especially during dry spells. Check the soil often; if the top inch feels dry, it’s time to give it a drink. Ensure excess water can drain away to prevent root rot.

3. Pruning: Regular pruning helps keep your mint healthy and encourages new growth. Pinch back the top leaves and stems regularly, ideally when the plant reaches about 6 inches tall. This will promote a bushier appearance and prevent the plant from becoming too leggy.

4. Fertilizing: Mint is not a heavy feeder, but occasional feeding with a balanced, organic fertilizer can boost its growth. Fertilize every 4–6 weeks during the growing season using a diluted solution. Be careful not to over-fertilize, as this might diminish the mint's sweet flavor.
