Mrs Bryant taught us how to propagate mint plants. We propagated many types including pineapple mint, chocolate mint and Moroccan mint. We really enjoyed smelling all the mints. The pineapple mint smelt very exotic and wild, whereas the chocolate mint smelt warm and at home. We had to find three different types of mint, and cut the tips off, but we had to cut them off at an angle, so that the rain wouldn't go through the stem. We really enjoyed the experience of the process of propagation. After cutting off the tips of the mint, we had to put the tips in soil and water them a little bit, remembering to be careful, because they are quite fragile.
