Grow Fresh Pudina At Home From Stem Cuttings
You can grow pudina, also called mint, without buying seeds.
First, cut a healthy stem that is 3–5 inches long.
Remove the leaves from the bottom part of the stem.
Put the stem in a small pot filled with soil.
Make sure the pot has a hole so extra water can drain out.
Keep the soil moist but not too wet.
Place the pot in indirect sunlight while roots grow.
Later, the mint can grow in full sun or partial shade if you water it regularly.
Mint, or pudina, can be grown without seeds by using stem cuttings.
Choose a healthy 3–5-inch stem and remove leaves from its lower half.
Plant the cutting in potting soil inside a small pot with drainage.
Keep the soil moist, avoid sogginess, and place the pot in indirect sunlight initially.
After establishing roots, mint can grow in full sun or partial shade with regular watering.
