Mint is the hardiest most invasivest shit ever and like I cannot stress enough how quickly and vigorously it grows. If you ever need mint just like root a cutting and plant it and give it some fertilizer like once a week and you'll have more mint than anybody could ever need for their entire lifetime

I transplanted a basketball sized mint plant into a bigger pot two weeks ago and it's quintupled in size with leaves the size of my hand. I literally do not know what to do with it. I offered like a pound of it to my weed dealer and you know what he said? nah he's trying to kill the shit growing around his house

Literally just put it in some potting mix and give it a small dose of miracle grow once a week. Water it every day (make sure the pot drains through and it isn't just sitting in water though) and give it full sunlight

Idk what else there would be to do, that's all im doing

That's what I thought I've been doing, I dunno though. Maybe I'll try with a bigger pot, I thought I gave them enough room but I don't know much about plants. I'll give it another shot, maybe this year I'll get more than one mojito out of it haha

If it's filling up the pot put it in a bigger pot and it'll almost immediately take it over

How big is the pot now

I had it in what I thought was a pretty big pot, about the size of a 4L ice cream tub, it just grew super slowly to the extent that it took until august for there to be enough for a mojito
