Hi all,

Some couple of months ago I cut a number stems from my mint plant and
placed them in water. After a few weeks, white roots started growing.
The intention being to replant the mint in other places.

Well, the first plant I planted grew and is doing fine. I did this
before winter. The next plants I placed in pots (indoors) just died
away.

Is it the wrong time of year to do this procedure or am I doing
something wrong?

Thanks,
Max

Hello, Max,

I always transfer my mint outdoors after I root it. I can't say
whether that is a good solution for you, unless I know where you live.
I'm in San Jose, California, which has a Mediterranean climate,
conducive to growing mint. I have also had mint in pots die, but only
after it had grown for quite a while, thus exhausting the resources in
the pot. Did you get growth? Flowers? How long did the plants last
before they died?
