I will show you how to grow mint easily from grocery store bought mint. I will show you how to prepare cuttings to grow in water and transplant them in soil when they are ready.
Stem cuttings - Pick thick and healthy branches when buying the mint. I recommend you do this process as soon as you bring it home. But It will still work if you have to keep it in the fridge for a day or two. Take a stem remove all the bottom leaves. Just keep two to 3 leaves on the top. It will still grow if there is no leaves on the stem. We only need three to five inches long stems from the top.
Where you remove the leaves it’s called a node. Roots will grow from there. Just make a cut below the node.
Propagation - Take some tap water in a clear cup or vase. If you don’t have anything clear it’s fine too. Place cuttings in water, make sure one or two nodes are submerged in water. I like to use clear container so I can remember to change the water and check in roots. Make sure to change water every few days or at least once a week. Keep them in indirect sunlight. You can keep it on kitchen counter, top of the fridge or any other place where you don’t forget about them. Every time you change water if see any stem that’s soft or mushy get rid of it. Clean the container properly and replace the water.
Transplanting - When roots are two to three inches long you can transplant them in soil. You can use regular potting mix or add some perlite in it. Place the roots about two inches deep in soil. Then water it thoroughly. Move it in full sunlight after a week. Make sure to keep the soil moist all the time. Once weather is nice outside , you can move your pot outside or you can plant it in your garden. It will die back in winter and come back in summer. Mint is hardy perennial, it also grows year around in warmer climates.
Sunlight - Mint performs well in full Sun as long as soil is kept moist. But it will also thrives in partial shade.
Water - Mint likes a lot of water . Don't let the soil dry out completely.
If you like it to grow faster and bushier , keep pinching top part. It will branch out every time you pinch it. It is pretty easy to grow mint and have it growing inside during the winter. So you can have fresh mint all year around.
