Mint

1.Light
Grows best in bright light with a few hours of gentle sun.
It can tolerate partial shade, especially during hot summer afternoons.
2.Watering
Mint loves moist soil.
Water when the top feels slightly dry.
Never let it fully dry out.
Ensure good drainage to avoid soggy roots.
3.Temperature
Thrives in Cairo’s mild to warm weather.
Protect from harsh midday heat by giving light shade.
4.Feeding
Feed every 3–4 weeks with a gentle, balanced fertilizer to keep it leafy and vibrant.
5.Placement
Great for:
• Balconies
• Kitchen windows
• Outdoor pots
• Mixed herb gardens
6.Maintenance
Trim frequently to keep it bushy and prevent legginess.
Harvest by pinching off stems — it grows back fast.
Keep mint in its own pot if you don’t want it to spread aggressively.
