Some of my spearmint leaves are folding. Should I cut them or let them fall on their own? Others have brown/black tips on them! Please help!

I would cut some of the stems back to promote more growth and prevent them from getting too leggy

Should I do it with the odd and folded leaves?

Mine are very moody too! Don’t know why they do this 😩

I would pull off the old leaves sometimes I notice when they get a lot of direct sun they tend to get some brown tips maybe a shadier spot
