Got a small 'mint' plant from waitrose the other day, and the mint tastes
much better than the mint plant i have in a pot in the garden.

I am going to try to root some stems in some water inside the house.
Meanwhile wife is taking leaves to put in salad etc. *Since i have not had
any root yet, it is a race against time.

Should wife just take leaves from the bottom of stems and i take the top
leaves and stem to try and root them, or is it better she just take one
whole stem at a time?


Am I missing something????
The OP says "Got a small 'mint' plant from waitrose the other day"
Not a bunch of cut mi9nt, but a PLANT.
That means that it has roots and if the wife does cut all the top
growth off then he still has the plant. If she can leave a couple of
leaves on each stem then so much the better.
Keep the remains of the plant cool and it should strat to resprout in
a few weeks.
Certainly buy another if you can, but do take a look at mint plants in
season, there are many, we prefere Apple mint for potatoes, Morocan
mint,for mint sauce.
