Growing Information

Botanical Name: Mentha × gracilis

Common Name: Ginger Mint

Plant Type: Perennial herb

Light Requirements: Full sun to partial shade

Water Requirements: Moderate; prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil

Growth Habit: Spreading

Difficulty Level: Easy

Mint spreads readily through underground runners. Growing Ginger Mint in a container is recommended when you want to limit its spread.

Garden performance and winter hardiness depend on the purchaser’s climate, growing zone, soil, planting location, and care.

Rooting Your Cutting

Your Ginger Mint cutting may be rooted in:

• Water

• Moist potting soil

• Rockwool

• A suitable hydroponic system

Keep the cutting consistently moist and place it in bright, indirect light while roots begin to develop. If rooting in water, replace the water regularly. If rooting in soil or rockwool, keep the medium moist but not waterlogged.

The included rockwool cube can be used as a propagation medium after the cutting arrives.

Important Information About Live Cuttings

This product is a living, unrooted plant cutting. Successful rooting and future plant growth depend on shipping conditions, temperature, handling, planting method, moisture, light, climate, and ongoing care.

We carefully select and package each cutting, but rooting success and future plant performance cannot be guaranteed.

Please unpack your cutting promptly after delivery and place it in water or an appropriate propagation medium.

If The Robertson Rottie Ranch makes an error with your order or is unable to fulfill it, we will address the issue in accordance with our Return & Refund Policy.

Important: Care Immediately After Delivery

Please unpack your cutting immediately after delivery and remove all shipping materials.

Place the lower portion of the stem in clean, room-temperature water for a minimum of 48 hours. Keep all leaves above the waterline, with only the lower stem and at least one propagation node in the water.

This recovery period allows the cutting to rehydrate and recover from normal shipping stress before rooting begins.

During the recovery period:

• Keep the cutting in bright, indirect light

• Keep it away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures

• Replace the water if it becomes cloudy

• Do not add fertilizer

• Do not allow any leaves to remain submerged

Temporary wilting or softness can occur after shipping and does not necessarily indicate that the cutting is damaged.

Rooting Your Cutting

After the initial 48-hour recovery period, continue rooting the cutting using one of these methods:

• Keep the stem and propagation node in clean water

• Place the stem and propagation node into a pre-soaked rockwool cube supplied with water

Keep the leaves above the waterline and do not allow the rockwool cube to dry out. Provide bright, indirect light while roots develop.

Do not transfer the cutting into soil immediately after delivery.

Allow the cutting to remain in water or water-supplied rockwool until several healthy roots have developed and the roots are at least two inches long. Once the roots reach that length, the cutting may be transplanted into an appropriate potting mix.

Rooting time varies according to the plant variety, temperature, light, water quality, and other growing conditions.
