I recently bought this fresh mint plant a few weeks ago. I finally moved it to a slightly larger pot today and added some fresh soil. Some leaves were slightly shriveled and a couple brown. I picked those off. Any tips for indoor sweet mint plant? Seems it needs to be as close as possible if not directly in a window.
I struggled with mint indoors also. I finally have one potted outside this year and it’s doing ok. Lots of sun and water

It needs a LOT of sun. I don’t think a window is ever going to cut it. I killed 2 indoors, but have successfully kept one alive outdoors for 3 years. If you need to keep it indoors, I would get a grow light.
2 likesthank you! I am in miami and every plant I have ever had has gotten some kind of pests outside. so I was reluctant to put it out there. any thoughts?
0 likes It is definitely prone to all kinds of pests. Mine has gotten mealy bugs every year. However, it is such a strong plant, that it does just fine even with bugs. I spry it down with 70% alcohol every time I see an infestation. Just do it in the evening so it doesn’t get scorched by the sun + alcohol
