Growing mint greens, bought at the supermarket
Very often in various supermarkets sell a variety of salad greens such as dill, parsley, spinach and mint green that is what we decided to implant. how to grow mint.
Mint is easily propagated vegetatively, it can be grown at
home in flowerpots or boxes on the window sill, and then you have at
any time is at hand fragrant fresh mint leaf to enrich and complement
the flavor of the tea, and more.
So we need: during another walk to the supermarket take sheaf green mint (Budget - 6 hryvnia / 24rubls), when coming back home, select undamaged branches of medium length, paying attention to the thickness of the stem - too thin is not suitable for rooting, it is better to put in the tea!
How to propagate mint. Selected cuttings put in a jar with water (rooted cuttings planted later) - the water level should not exceed 2 centimeters, otherwise the process of rooting can significantly delayed. After placing our mint cuttings in water, on the first day due to the sudden change of conditions mint can start to wither, then sprinkle mint water from a spray bottle and jar need to cover a plastic bag to create a humid microclimate.
If cuttings despite all the efforts made, continue to fade - no problem! Extract them from the water, put it in a package that is embedded pre-moistened cloth package to make and put in the refrigerator on the lowest shelf for 6-12 hours, after the restoration of turgor cuttings again put into the water, just a 3 day appear in the stem nodes appear our roots and rooted mint can be planted in pots with soil.
At home, mint susceptible to fungal diseases, on the leaf surface appears white furry coating, then the affected areas turn yellow. With this misfortune rather just fight: it needs a 0.5 liter glass of water 2-3 drops of dish detergent and 2 teaspoons of cooking soda in the solution of 1-fold bathe chat vegetating plants, shake off the excess solution and blot dry cloth.
