Catnip sowing time is spring and autumn. Catnip likes a cool, full-sun or half-sun environment. It is generally sown in autumn and transplanted in summer, but in the south it can be sown in spring and autumn. Soil with good drainage should be selected. The best configuration is one-third humus soil and three-thirds humus soil. Two-thirds of the garden soil should be planted in a place with sufficient sunshine and good ventilation. The best time to pick flowers is the early flowering period.

Notes on planting catnip:

1. Place drainage stones at the bottom of the flower pot, then pour soil, and sow seeds directly, planting 1-3 seeds per hole. Grain, cover with soil about 1 cm and flatten, water appropriately, germinate in 7-10 days, sprout in 10-14 days, fertilize 1-2 times a week after sowing and emergence.

2. The seedlings should be kept moist during the seedling stage and watered appropriately every day. After the plants mature, the roots are more sensitive to water and should be prevented from waterlogging. The soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings. A certain amount of light needs to be ensured every day.

3. Generally, catnip is not affected by diseases and insect pests, but has the effect of repelling mosquitoes. It only needs to prevent root fungal infection, and pay attention to avoid soil with a lot of clay content. Poor drainage will lead to fungal reproduction and endanger the healthy growth of plants. . You can spray a special fungicide for flowers once to effectively prevent fungal root rot. In daily maintenance, pay attention to waiting for the soil to be completely dry before watering.
