Finding light for Mint in your home

a window
Mint love being close to bright, sunny windows 😎.
Place it less than 1ft from a south-facing window to maximize the potential for growth.
Mint does not tolerate low-light 🚫.
Select your region to see how the current weather in your area affects the placement of Mint in your home 🏡.
How to fertilize Mint

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Mint after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

My mint is dying and I don't know why The baby leaves are getting brown. :( I've been watering her correctly and she has enough light from my balcony. I changed the soil too, what could it be? ( If it's a pest I don't have any pesticide and I'm scared to use one ) #mint #planttherapy #newplantmom #mintcryingicrytoo #mojitomint
