Mint, one of the most used plants for refreshing drinks, fruit salads and various other dishes is exactly the kind you can plant with great ease, even if you live in a house or an apartment.
The first thing you need to start planting mint is a pot, quite spacious, as this is where it will spend most of its time.
Whether you plant it from seed stage or buy a plant directly from a florist or a specialized store, you should know that mint needs to be well watered, especially at the beginning, after which it will grow on its own.
The reason why you need to take a fairly large pot is due to the fact that mint spreads very quickly and its roots tend to take over all neighboring plants and can even sneak through stones, curbs or pavements of your house.
If you want to plant it in the ground, the best thing to do is to leave it in the pot and plant the whole pot directly into the soil. Mint will thrive in this environment, and the pot will prevent the uncontrolled spread of its roots, allowing it to grow large and beautiful.
