10 Reasons to Start Growing Mint at Home (and How to Do It)

What You Need:

Mint cuttings or starter plant

Pot with drainage holes

Organic potting soil

Sunlight (4–6 hours per day)

Water

Steps:

Choose a container (mint spreads fast—pots keep it contained).

Fill with soil and plant your mint cutting or seedling.

Place in sunlight near a window or outside.

Water regularly to keep soil moist but not soggy.

Harvest often by pinching the tops to encourage bushy growth.

🌿 Tips for Success:
Don’t let mint dry out completely.

Keep it in a separate pot—mint can overtake other herbs.

Snip often to keep it healthy and flavorful.
