🌞 Care Instructions

☀️ Sunlight: Prefers 4–6 hours of sunlight daily. Can tolerate partial shade, especially in the hot Maltese summer.
💧 Watering: Keep soil consistently moist. Mint loves water but avoid waterlogging. Mulching helps retain moisture.
🌱 Soil: Well-draining, fertile soil enriched with compost. Mint spreads quickly, so consider a separate pot or contained garden bed.
🌡️ Temperature: Thrives between 15°C–28°C. Protect from harsh midday sun to prevent leaf scorch.
✂️ Harvesting: Pinch leaves regularly to promote bushy growth and prevent flowering for best flavor.
🌾 Fertilizer: Feed with organic liquid fertilizer every 2–3 weeks during active growth.
