Nothing beats stepping onto your balcony and plucking fresh pudina for a chutney, lemonade, or cup of tea. The best part? Mint is one of the easiest herbs to grow at home and can keep producing fresh leaves for months with very little effort.
Choose fresh, green stems with multiple healthy leaves to improve rooting success and encourage stronger plant growth.
Place stems in clean water until small white roots begin appearing and become ready for planting.
Move rooted cuttings into nutrient-rich, well-drained soil for steady growth and healthier leaf production.
Keep the pot in partial sunlight to support healthy and lush leaves throughout the growing season.
Water consistently to keep soil moist without making it overly wet or causing root rot.
Trim leaves frequently to encourage fuller growth and continuous fresh harvests throughout the year.
