Germination takes 10-15 days. Mist gently to keep the surface damp. Transplant seedlings to pots when 4-5 cm tall, spacing 20-25 cm apart. Pinch tips regularly to bushy up. First leaf harvest begins about 60-70 days after sowing and continues for years.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen should I sow peppermint seeds in India?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow from February to March or in the cooler post-monsoon weeks of September-October. In hilly and cool regions it can be sown through most of the year; avoid the peak summer heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan peppermint be grown in pots on a balcony?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, pots are actually the best way to grow it.
