How to Grow Mint Plants:-

Plant mint in full sun or part shade. It thrives in rich, moist, well-drained soil. Mint adapts to many soil types, but develops the best foliage in soil that has been enriched with a 2-inch-thick layer of compost.

Frequent cutting keeps mint looking attractive. As with basil and other flowering herbs grown for their leaves, remove flowers as they appear, and pinch back the stems to encourage shorter, bushier growth. Keep the area around mint free of weeds and grass. Otherwise it looks untidy, and the weeds may reduce yields and affect flavor.

Divide mint every few years. In fall, cut the plants to the ground.

Mint can also be grown indoors. Plant the herb as you would outdoors, in a pot, and place in a room that gets a generous amount of sunlight. Just be sure to keep the plant away from elements that would dry it out, such as a heater or radiator.
