Prepare Hydroponic Setup: Choose a container with holes for drainage, like a plastic or ceramic pot. Fill it with water up to a level just below the holes. Choose Mint Seeds: Select high-quality mint seeds suitable for hydroponic growth. Planting: Place the mint seeds on a wet paper towel or cotton cloth. Keep them moist until they sprout tiny roots, usually within a few days. Transplanting: Once roots are visible, carefully transplant the sprouted seeds into the prepared hydroponic container. Ensure the roots are placed in water, but the seeds should be above water level to avoid rotting. Light and Temperature: Place the container in a location with indirect sunlight or under grow lights for 14-16 hours a day. Mint plants prefer temperatures between 65-70°F (18-21°C). Maintenance: Change the water every 1-2 weeks to prevent stagnation and ensure nutrient availability. Monitor the water level to keep the roots submerged but avoid drowning the seeds. Harvesting: Mint plants can be harvested when they reach a height of 6-8 inches. Cut the leaves just above the node to encourage new growth. Pruning and Care: Trim any yellowing or dead leaves regularly. Monitor for pests like aphids or spider mites and treat as necessary with organic methods.
