My #StrawberryMint is browning and loosing leaves!!! What...

It looks like maybe some pests may have been eating at her leaves, so that may be why. She’s watered regularly and not in direct sunlight so she’s not dry. I just don’t want to loose this plant!!! What should I do?? 😭

It could be at the end of its cycle, it could also not be getting enough drainage

Could be due to the pests and lighting. And could be due to the soil and drainage. If the soil drains and drains pretty well then you may want to try more light. And you may need to try something for the pests like safer brand spray with neem oil, soap and poison

Soil staying too wet can also be bad if there isn’t enough drainage

I think I’m going to repot it to add more drainage. Thanks for the help!! :]

@serpens_stars yeah make sure the pot always has good drain holes and that the soil has perlite added so it drains well. My mint plants get direct sunlight only in the morning. I caught a caterpillar eating one before. It would’ve quickly killed the entire plant and they hide very well even when big
