Mint is a sun-worshipper. It wants that bright, indirect light like a cat wants a warm laptop. Aim for a south-facing window if you can.
Without enough light, your mint will get leggy. That’s plant-speak for “stretchy and sad.” Think of it as a teenager slouching on the couch instead of playing outside. Give it at least 4-6 hours of good light daily.
No sunny window? No problem. Grab a cheap grow light. Your mint won’t judge; it’ll just thank you by growing fast and furious.
