Water: Sage mint is drought-tolerant, thriving in well-draining conditions with balanced moisture. It requires weekly watering for optimal health and is usually grown outdoors, benefiting from natural temperature and rainfall fluctuations that support its growth cycle.
Fertilize: For optimal care, sage mint requires balanced nutrition through monthly applications of NPK fertilizer during the growing season. Use half-strength for young plants. Reduce fertilization in winter and always water well post-application to ensure nutrient absorption and prevent over-fertilization issues.
Pruning: Sage mint is a hardy perennial with aromatic leaves and purple-blue flowers. Prune in early spring to remove dead stems and promote airflow, preventing legginess. Use sterilized tools for disease prevention. Regular pruning enhances foliage, flowering, and the overall lifespan of sage mint.
Propagation: Sage mint is a perennial herb with aromatic leaves, propagated by sowing seeds in well-draining soil. Consistent moisture and warmth are essential, avoiding waterlogging. Thinning seedlings promotes healthy growth, while regular pruning encourages bushier development once established.
