Prune your Mint. Don’t be a plucker!

Don’t pluck leaves randomly from your mint plant, it’ll just strip it bare. Be strategic and double your growth. Cut just above the node, where two leaves intersect the stem.

Yes it is going into my mojito ma'am 😂😂😂 i had the best mint mojito recently and ran to grow some mint 🤣🤣

[stephanieadelaarson]

Ma'am, I have so much mint that it desperately needs to be stripped. I do not need double the growth, I need a weed whacker

[swannero]

Sometimes I'm really thankful that every app is actively listening to you all the time. Just today I bought a new mint plant and had no idea how to harvest it. And then this short comes along. Thank you and YT.

There’s literally nothing you can do to a mint plant to mess it up. It grows under the best and worst conditions and will thrive and take over your garden no matter what.

[ralsharp]

Lovely advice. This works very well for basil also😊

[lhenvxp]

Thanks. I now learnt from you. I have been plucking randomly since months.

Oh my, I've been a plucker! My new mint plants look like palm trees. I hope I didn't kill them. 🤦‍♀️

[LilmissJ]

Thank you i wasn't aware of this! Our mint here will love this better!❤❤

[abbyolson]

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for

[WavegirlThinks]

Stripping mint bare is not something we have an issue with where I live. Trying to stop it taking over the whole garden or every pot moved too close to it is the issue.

[ladiejaymes]

Ohhhh! Thank you so much! 🙏🏽 I appreciate this clear demonstration and explanation. As a new herb grower, this was right on time for me!

[Avia]

Straight to the point, all the info and a demonstration. Perfect 👍
