# I got this adansonii mint back in january? And its just been downhill…

_Posted by Ama on 2026-02-12_

I got this adansonii mint back in january? And its just been downhill since 💀 im not sure what to do lol. Its actually 3 separate pieces and came in a pot almost twice the size of the one its in now, and i downsized when it started to brown a lot, thinking maybe the soil held too much water it couldnt properly get rid of. Its in 65%+ humidity under a grow light, and i water when the soil is dry. But its just been constantly browning, even before leaves unfurl, and 2 of the 3 pieces lost their only green leaves so i dont know if they are able to be saved 💀 any advice is appreciated lol

Adansonii are sooo particular about how much water they get, I’ve dealt with the rot before unfurling and I’ve dealt with it being soo dry it can’t even unfurl!  
Maybe try less humidity and instead of “watering” just mist for a couple seconds once to twice a week until it’s comfortable again!  
I hope this helps as they can be finicky with their conditions/environment👍🏼
