Anyone have tips for speeding up the growth of Mint? Specifically Morracan Mint, but peppermint, spearmint, orange mint and pineapple mint tips are all welcome.
I live in the high desert and don't have a single tree on my property but the dirt is decent and holds moisture, there's just a lot of wind. We bought all the above kinds of mint, the morracan is doing the best, and I'd like to propagate it to line a walkway about 100ft before winter. The only problem is I only have 2 smallish plants to work from.
I keep the soil moist. It's 50% topsoil, 10% peat, 10% sand, 10% clay, 10% worm castings, 5% perilite, and 5% [etc] fertilizers/inert stuff. 6-7 hours of full sun, the rest is shade.
I took some cutting and tried to root them but they rooted very slowly, and only a few survived to rooting, I'd like to speed the growth of the mother plant if possible. Tips?
