- Is this mint plant suitable for planting outdoors in a garden?

☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
Mint thrives in medium to bright indirect light. It can adapt to full sun, especially when grown outdoors, but prefers a bit of shade during the hottest parts of the day when indoors.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Keep the soil consistently moist without letting it become waterlogged. Water your mint when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Reduce watering slightly in winter.
💧️ Temperature
💧️🌡️️▫️ (Average)
Mint enjoys typical indoor temperatures ranging from 15°C to 24°C. Avoid placing your mint in draughty areas or near heat sources which can cause stress.
💦 Humidity
💦▫️▫️ (Low)
Mint doesn’t require high humidity to thrive and can easily adapt to average household humidity levels. However, a bit of extra humidity can help in very dry environments.
💦 Repotting
Mint grows rapidly and can benefit from repotting every year or two. Choose a pot slightly larger than the previous one to allow for growth, and use a well-draining potting mix to prevent waterlogging.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
Mint is non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a fantastic choice for pet owners. Feel free to grow mint indoors without worry about your furry friends.
🪴 Recommended locations at home
Place your mint in kitchens or balconies where it can get sufficient light. It’s also excellent in living rooms near a window with filtered light. Outdoor mint thrives on patios or in garden borders.
