How to fertilize Canada Mint
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Canada Mint after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Any tips on how to care for my peppermint plant and rosemary? I just got them and i tried to do a bit of research but I couldn't find much. I got them for my witchcraft, so if anyone can also give me tips for harvesting and preservation that would also be helpful. Im mainly looking for what soil and pot type they need as well as any other tips that I haven't thought of to help them grow happy and healthy. #help #happyplants #rosemary #peppermint #plantsmakepeoplehappy #newplantmom

My mint keeps on getting yellow leaves. Why and how to fix this. It is close to some LED lights right above it. It's growing good but the older leaves get yellow, but the new ones are good. And this turned into a repeated process.

Does anyone know why my peppermint plant has these bugs flying around it? And how do I get rid of them? My peppermint plant Scarlett has these mat looking things flying around it and I don't know why? I just got her last week I think.
