Care
Light
Spearmint grows in full sun to partial shade; indoors give it a bright window with indirect light.
Water
Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged — mint likes steady moisture.
Soil & Feeding
Use a well-draining mix and feed lightly every few weeks during the growing season.
Quick Tip
Spearmint spreads quickly, so a container helps control it. Trim back stems to keep it compact.
