Care and Watering
Water mint enjoys consistently moist, rich soil and prefers regular watering; keep the soil damp but not waterlogged, especially in hot spells. Mulch to retain moisture and promote lush growth.
Maintenance
Prune after flowering to encourage bushier stems, divide every 1–2 years to prevent crowding, and remove old foliage to maintain flavour.

Plant near a pond, stream, or in a wide container to control spreading; provide partial shade in hot climates and harvest leaves regularly to keep it tidy and fragrant.
