Here is the step-by-step process for growing mint in a cup:

Turn the cup over and mark two evenly spaced points with the painter’s tape where you will drill two holes. These holes will ensure adequate drainage for the plant.
Mix the fertilizer with potting soil and fill it into the cup.
Place a few mint seeds on top of the soil and cover lightly with an additional layer of substrate. It is not necessary to bury the seeds deeply, just make sure to cover them with a thin layer of soil.
Pay attention to the development of the seeds and watch them grow into tender mint plants.
Only water when the soil is dry and avoid excess moisture in the limited space of the cup.
Place the cup in a place where it receives direct sunlight in the morning but is in the shade in the afternoon to protect the plant from excessive heat.
With this simple method, you will not only add freshness and beauty to your home, but also enjoy the many benefits that mint offers for your well-being. Dare to cultivate your own fragrant oasis!
