Easy and effective: how to grow mint in a plastic bottle at home

Growing mint at home in a plastic bottle can be a surprisingly simple and effective process, SSPDaily tells. It will not only add a refreshing flavor to your environment, but also bring many health benefits.

Mint has soothing properties that help calm the mind, relieve stress, and promote digestion. In addition, its invigorating aroma can increase alertness and concentration, as well as relieve headaches or respiratory ailments.

To get started with this simple activity, you'll need an empty 2-liter plastic bottle. Remove the top by cutting off the neck to create a bowl-like structure. It is very important to ensure proper drainage by making holes in the bottom of the bottle to prevent excess water from accumulating, which can harm the mint roots.

Then fill the tray with soil or potting soil. Mint thrives in well-drained soils with a neutral pH level. Plant potted or outdoor varieties of the plant in the prepared plastic tray. You can also plant the seeds 1.5 cm deep.

It is important to keep the soil constantly moist, avoiding waterlogging. Water the mint thoroughly and place the bottle in a brightly lit place with sufficient sunlight.

It is worth noting that mint has a tendency to grow rapidly and actively spread. To prevent its spread, regular pruning is recommended. By constantly caring for the plant, you can ensure that it is kept within certain limits.
