How to Grow Mint in a Cup Step by Step:

  1. Turn the cup over, attach 2 pieces of tape and mark them so you can punch two holes. These will ensure good drainage.
  2. Prepare fertilizer and soil. Put them in the cup.
  3. Then, drop a few mint seeds and cover with a little soil. You don’t have to bury the seeds, but add a small layer of soil on top.
  4. Wait for the seeds to develop and begin to turn into a beautiful mint seedling.
  5. Water only when the soil is dry. Remember that a lot of moisture can accumulate in a space as small as a cup.
  6. Place the cup in a bright spot in the morning but in the shade in the afternoon.
