Planting information
Choose the Right Location: Catmint typically prefers ample sunlight, so select a sunny location for planting. While it adapts to drier conditions, providing some afternoon shade in hotter regions may be beneficial.

Soil: Use well-draining soil to prevent the plants from sitting in waterlogged conditions. Adding organic matter around the plants can enhance soil fertility.
Moderate Irrigation: Catmint is somewhat drought-tolerant, so avoid overwatering. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist, but ensure there is no standing water.

Pruning: Regularly trim the plants, especially after the flowering period, to encourage new growth and maintain a compact shape. Harvesting leaves or flowers during pruning can be done for making cat toys or for drying.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer at the beginning of the growing season to promote healthy growth. However, avoid over-fertilization, as Catmint typically doesn't require overly nutrient-rich soil.
Indoor Planting: If your climate isn't suitable for outdoor cultivation, consider planting Catmint indoors. Ensure adequate sunlight and provide appropriate humidity when needed.

Watch for Pests and Diseases: Regularly inspect the plants for potential diseases or pests. If necessary, take appropriate measures, such as using organic insecticides or removing infected plant parts.
