Definitely now! A good rule of thumb is when the roots are established, it’s time to plant. Good luck!

That’s such a helpful tip. Thank you :blush:

Totally agree! I swear by that rule too.

Make sure you plant it in a pot—mint spreads like wildfire and will take over your garden if you’re not careful.

It’s mint! You could’ve just started it directly in the soil.

Definitely put it in a pot. Mint can spread like crazy if you let it loose!

I love mint so much; I might need multiple pots!

Be prepared! They grow fast and spread everywhere. You’ll need to keep them contained.

Good thing I only have a balcony, so pots it is!

It’s mint—you’d have a hard time killing it even if you tried.

Well, something killed mine, so I guess it’s not that indestructible.

Sounds like the title of a thriller: Something Killed the Mint.

Exactly! I thought it was supposed to be invincible?

Once it’s thriving in soil, it can get pretty wild!

Must’ve been aliens. That’s the only explanation.

Depends on your climate. Mint needs moisture, and in drier areas, it can struggle. Mine has died off while other plants like calendula were thriving.
