Cool mint grass, one of the best plants in summer

Among the many green plants, the appearance of mint is actually not too high, but in summer, it is always necessary to grow a pot, not only because it relieves the heat and cools off, but also because it is so easy to grow, and you don’t need to take care of it at all. .

Old rules, let’s first understand the native growth environment of mint. Mint has a strong ability to adapt to temperature and can withstand low temperatures of -15°C. The optimum temperature for its growth is 25°C-30°C. Nature likes sunshine, preferably full sun light, which can promote the flowering of peppermint, and is conducive to the accumulation of peppermint oil and menthol. Mint is not too strict on the soil. Except for sandy, sticky, heavy acid-base soil, and low-lying poor-drained soil, it can be planted in general soil, preferably sandy loam and alluvial soil.

In short, mint is very easy to grow, and only needs sunlight and water. I always put it outside in a sunny place, water it every day, and water it as soon as the soil is dry.

Mint grows very fast, it is like a leek, cut one crop after another! The more you cut the branches, the more branched, and the cut branches will take root on the ground. They can live directly when inserted into the soil, and they can also take root when inserted into the water. Find a vase of water to cultivate, a little fresh style.

We all know that mint-flavored things are very refreshing, so mint leaves naturally have this effect, not only that, but there are many other effects of mint, let’s count them down.

Mint leaves can emit a fragrant smell, which is comparable to an air freshener indoors. Its cool aroma can regulate and relieve tension and anger, boost the spirit, and make the body and mind happy.

You can also use mint to wash your hair, which makes your hair refreshing and comfortable, and it has a good effect on eliminating scalp, and it can also leave a natural fragrance. External application of mint juice can make the skin slippery and healthy. If the skin is bitten by mosquitoes or the muscles become sore, you can also crush fresh mint leaves and apply it to the uncomfortable position.

Drinking mint in water has a good cooling effect, can also cool blood and stop bleeding, and also has a certain effect of lowering blood fat. You can drink mint leaves to treat hyperlipidemia. At the same time, mint leaves can also be used to treat obesity. Of course, this is only an aid and cannot be used as a medicine. Don’t get me wrong.

Mint soaked in water can improve fever, throat, swelling and pain, and eliminate headache, toothache, nausea, itchy skin, abdominal flatulence, diarrhea, indigestion, constipation, etc. Inflammation symptoms have a therapeutic effect... how come there is a feeling of omnipotence.

In many places, mint is also used as dessert or food. Putting mint into food has the effect of enhancing the taste, and after cooking with fish and lamb, it has the effect of removing fishy smell.

Pregnant women stay away from mint! Pregnant women stay away from mint! Pregnant women stay away from mint! Say important things three times! Drinking mint in water is not suitable for pregnant women, it may cause anemia, pregnant women please stay away from mint! Menstrual period also can not drink more peppermint water!

In short, mint is the summer home green plant that I recommend. In addition to being so tenacious in vitality, it is also very refreshing and in line with the tone of summer. It can also be combined with Jay Chou's song to make yourself a Mojito Mojito~
