The bushmints, an aromatic plant genus, enjoys a sunny environment, requiring good lighting but can tolerate partially shaded conditions. Watering should be moderate with good drainage since they are drought-tolerant. A warm, constantly above freezing temperature serves them well, and they prefer a well-draining, fertile soil. Common challenges include fungus and caterpillars, though they display resilience against most pests and diseases. Seasonal considerations include reduced watering during winter and early spring fertilization.
