My mint keeps on getting yellow leaves. Why and how to fi...

It is close to some LED lights right above it. It's growing good but the older leaves get yellow, but the new ones are good. And this turned into a repeated process.
2ft to light, indirect
6” pot with drainage
Last watered 6 months ago

Oh shoot, is it getting browns and yellows or just yellows? Do you have a current photo? I’m thinking you have a little pathogen infection. If that’s correct, you will want to remove all that soil in that pot, wash and sanitize your pot, get new fresh soil, and even wash off the old soil on the roots. Then you will want to replant and keep it away from other plants. Pathogen infections can and will spread. It’s a pretty common thing, generally happens when we overwater and don’t have enough air reaching the roots. But those are my thoughts. πŸ’­ If I can help further at all, please don’t hesitate. Otherwise, I wish you luck πŸ€
Thank you
I didn't know what to do so I was worried about it all dying. I will do like you recommended.
After I get rid of the pathogen infection, should I get the brown leafs off or should I let it destress first?
