Sow Right Seeds - Mint Seed to Plant

This was my first time growing mint from seed and it was a breeze. It took some time to get growing, but I blame that more on the weather and garden location than the plants. The plants have recently taken off and growing and spreading. Another note...plant these in a contained space...they will spread and take over an area!

The seeds never sprouted 🙁

I bought these seeds with very little hope. I am so happy I decided to just try instead of listening to other discouraging reviews. What I love about them: I used Miracle-Gro Seed Starter and a seed tray for them. No heat mat but constant grow lights for the first week. They germinate at a fast rate. This is in my opinion because everywhere I've read, people said it would take at minimum 7 days to see first signs of life. I saw my first germination at about 2 to 3 days and they picked up quickly from there. They are definitely fragrant and I wish there was a scent button you could press on your phone because the scent is DIVINE. What I would do different: I used a seedling tray and while it's nice for some herbs like basil, it didn't get the best start because there were some cells that germinated and others that didn't. This was MY FAULT as some of them were not as close to the light as others were. I suggest dropping the seeds in a wide, I REPEAT, WIDE pot. Depth matters but the width is just as if not more important. Of course if you're looking to buy Mint seeds you know they are an amazing herb and a container plant ONLY. With that in mind dropping them in their permanent home or semi permanent home is best. Bottom watering or carefully watering in the beginning so as to not wash away these incredibly tiny seeds is best. Transplanting them from the seedling tray to the rectangle plant was a NIGHTMARE and I almost said screw it and just start over. I'm glad I didn't. Another tip? I may get push back from this but it hasn't failed me yet. Pray over your plants. I pray over mine and the Lord has always provided me with wisdom for and protection over my plants. Jesus literally is the reason my harvest has been so bountiful this year so to him I truly owe all my credit. Including this one, which by the way, this is my first time growing mint from seeds. May 29th I recieved seeds, July 4rth I made strawberry hibiscus tea with muddled mint for my boyfriend's Aunt. Anything is possible just try it, what's the worst that can happen? I They are beautiful and the variety is a nice touch. I am glad I have another thing I don't have to buy at the store and worried if it's been sprayed with something, so with ease of mind it's healthier in my opinion. I grew them completely indoors and keep the Barrina T5 white lights 2 to 3 inches from them always. Hope this helps! -Jams

Love the smell of these plants. Sending them to my sister because she plants a garden and it keeps the critters at bay.
