Mentha requienii aka Corsican Mint

If you're looking for a plant that offers a moderate level of challenge, Corsican Mint is a great choice to test your gardening skills.

Corsican Mint should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Corsican Mint loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Corsican Mint prefers bright indirect light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

During the cold period, it is common for Corsican Mint to go dormant, resulting in a slowdown of growth. To accommodate this, waterings should be spaced out more.

Ploi lacks confirmed information on the toxicity of this plant. If you, a relative, or your pet accidentally consume plant material with unknown toxicity, it's best to consult a medical expert.

The Corsican Mint does not need extra humidity. Plants primarily absorb water through their root system, making soil watering the best way to provide humidity to your plants.
