Signs of Low Temperature in Peppermint
Symptoms
Peppermint exhibits significant cold hardiness, but winter temperatures should remain above 30℉. Should the temperature fall below this point, while no immediate changes might be apparent in winter, a reduction in sprouting or even a complete lack of sprouting could occur in spring.
Solutions
During spring, remove any sections that have not successfully sprouted.
Signs of High Temperature in Peppermint
Symptoms
Peppermint does not tolerate elevated temperatures well. When temperatures surpass 75℉, its development ceases, and its vulnerability to rot increases.
Solutions
Cut off any sun-damaged and desiccated portions. Relocate the plant to an area offering protection from the midday and afternoon sun, or employ a shade cloth for cover. Water the plant in the morning and evening to maintain soil moisture.
