Purchase a healthy peppermint plant from a nursery or garden center. Look for one with vibrant green leaves and no signs of pests.
Prepare the Pot:
Fill a pot with good-quality potting soil. Make sure your pot has drainage holes to prevent root rot.
Plant It:
Gently remove the peppermint from its nursery container and place it in the pot. Cover the roots with soil and press down lightly.
Place Strategically:
Set the peppermint plant near doorways, windows, or any place pests tend to enter your home. You can even place multiple plants around the house for maximum effect.
Care for the Plant:
Water it regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Peppermint loves bright, indirect sunlight. You can also occasionally use organic fertilizer to keep it thriving.
