How to Grow Mint Indoors: 3 Growing Methods for Year-Round Harvests

Fill small pots or seed trays with a well-draining potting mix.

Sprinkle the mint seeds lightly over the surface of the soil.

Gently press the seeds down into the soil or cover them with a thin layer of soil.

Mist the surface with water to keep it moist, but not soaked.

Place the pots in a warm, sunny spot (ideally, 65-70°F or 18-21°C).

Once the seeds sprout, thin them out to allow for proper spacing and growth.

Keep the soil consistently moist, and your mint will be ready to harvest in a few months.

Tip: Mint grown from seed may take a little longer to mature than cuttings, but it’s a fun way to start a fresh batch of mint!

2. Growing Mint from Cuttings
One of the easiest and fastest ways to grow mint indoors is by taking cuttings from an existing plant. This method ensures that your indoor mint plant is identical to the one you took the cutting from, preserving the flavor and aroma.

Materials Needed:

Healthy mint stem cutting (about 4-6 inches)

Small jar or glass

Water

Pot with soil (for transplanting later)
