I have a lavender mint thriving in a 22 in pot. It has developed several runners (horizontal) also very healthy. Should I be staking those runners or simply let them fall over the side of the pot? Thoughts?

Let them run along the soil to put down roots. This will fill out the plant. You can let them hang. They are very invasive. They will spread if they reach soil in a yard. I’ve never seen them staked.
