·     Mint seeds, with 200 seeds in each pack. Mint seeds are extremely small, dark brown or black in color, and approximately resemble sesame seeds in appearance. Mint is a perennial herb. Its plants emit a fresh and pleasant aroma. The leaves are opposite, with serrated edges. Mint has a wide range of uses. It can be used to make tea. For example, mint tea has the effects of refreshing the mind and relieving gastrointestinal discomfort. It can also be used in cooking to add a unique flavor to dishes, such as mint - fried eggs and mint - roasted chicken. In the field of skin care products, mint extract is often used to make cool skin care products because of its soothing effect on the skin. In addition, mint grows rapidly and has strong adaptability. Whether it is planted in large areas in the courtyard or cultivated in flowerpots on the balcony, it can add vitality and a fresh atmosphere to the environment.

1. Prepare the soil: Select loose, fertile, well - drained soil rich in humus. You can mix leaf mold, garden soil, and river sand in a ratio of 3:2:1 evenly and put it into a seed - raising pot or planting container. Before filling the soil, lay a layer of broken tiles or ceramsite at the bottom of the container to enhance drainage. Then water the soil thoroughly to make the soil in a moist state.

2. Seed treatment: Mint seeds are small and do not require particularly complicated treatment. However, to improve the germination rate, soak the seeds in warm water for 4 - 6 hours to allow the seeds to absorb enough water. After soaking, take out the seeds and dry the surface moisture with a paper towel, and then they can be sown.

3. Sowing operation: Since mint seeds are very small, mix the seeds evenly with an appropriate amount of fine sand and then evenly sprinkle them on the soil surface. Try to make the seeds evenly distributed to avoid overcrowding. After sowing, do not cover too thick soil. Gently cover a thin layer of soil about 0.2 - 0.3 cm thick, and then use a sprayer to gently spray water to make the seeds fully contact the soil.

4. Moisture and light preservation: After sowing, cover a layer of plastic film or plastic wrap on the seed - raising pot or planting container to maintain humidity. Place it in a brightly lit place but avoid direct sunlight. The suitable germination temperature is 20 - 25 degrees Celsius. Open the film for ventilation for 1 - 2 hours every day to prevent the seeds from mildewing due to excessive humidity.

5. Management after emergence: Generally, the seeds begin to emerge about 5 - 7 days after sowing. After emergence, remove the covered film in time and gradually increase the light duration, but avoid direct strong light to prevent burning the seedlings. Keep the soil moist, following the principle of "watering when the soil is dry". That is, when the soil surface is dry, water it, and water thoroughly each time. When the seedlings have 2 - 3 true leaves, thin out the seedlings, remove the weak and over - dense seedlings, and keep the strong seedlings to provide sufficient growth space for them. When the seedlings have 4 - 5 true leaves, they can be transplanted into a larger flowerpot or planting area. Try to transplant with soil clumps to protect the roots of the seedlings.
