Chocolate mint looks a lot like regular mint but it comes with a twist! The herb has a fantastic chocolaty aroma that makes it great for cocktails! Let’s have a look at all the details about growing & caring for chocolate mint.

To learn how to grow chocolate mint in pots, read the informative tips below.

Choosing a Container

For growing mint, it is better to choose a wide container rather than a deep one. Each mint seedling will require an at least 12 inches wide container. Drilling drainage holes in the container is necessary to avoid root rot and promote the growth of your seedling.

Chocolate Mint Requirements:

Light

When growing mint indoors, keep in mind that they’ll fare well in almost any environment with full sun or partial shade! Preferably, place your potted mint in a sunny location, preferably a window sill. Rotate your chocolate mint plant every 3-4 days so that all sides give an even amount of sun.

Soil

You should fill the container with a well-draining high-quality potting mix. Don’t use soil from your garden but rather buy it from your local nursery store. If you don’t want to buy soil, you can make a quality potting mix by yourself. The soil should always be moist, but well drained. One way to combine the soil is to mix 4-6 parts peat moss with 1 part perlite and 1 part vermiculite.

Water

Mint plants love water, so make sure the soil is always moist. Water as needed. If the soil feels dry, go ahead and give it some water, but make sure not to over-water either. Mint also likes humidity, so in between watering, mist the plant with a spray bottle.

If you want your plant to develop more branches and becomes bushy, you should pinch off the tips on regular bases. Pruning the dead branches will keep your plant in an attractive shape.

Harvesting

Harvest mint frequently in order to keep the plant growing. It usually takes 2 to 6 weeks from your mint to be ready for harvesting. Don’t pick more than 1/3 of your plant otherwise it won’t be able to grow again. Before mint flowers, cut the stems 1 inch from the ground. You can usually harvest a mint plant 2-3 times in one growing season.
