# Does anyone know why my mints leaves are changing color and turning…

_Geplaatst door Ana op 2024-03-23_

Does anyone know why my mints leaves are changing color and turning almost white? I only water when the soil is dry or the leaves are beginning to droop. It is sitting on a south-facing windowsill and gets plenty of sunlight. I recently repotted into a slightly bigger plot since it was outgrowing its old one. I repotted with an equal amount of peat moss, perlite, and compost. But, this issue started before I repotted.

I overwinter my plant indoors and it does this too. I assume it’s from lack of light or the plant strangling itself because the roots grow so quickly. I’m not 100 sure mine is kept under a grow light (I don’t think it’s a great one) but I suspect it is more the light issue. I can’t put it outside yet where I am so as long as it doesn’t die…
