Q:How tall and how wide does this grow? And is it suitable for a house plant? How big of a pot should I use to plant it in?
by|Nov 11, 2015
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  From what I have read online, mint tends to take over where it is grown. .... This is why many people plant it in pots - to contain its vigorous spreading. ... That being said, the size of the pot should be as big as you can comfortably deal with in whatever situation you want to grow it. ... For example, a pot a foot wide and a foot deep would NOT be too big. ... If I remember correctly, mint can grow as tall as three feet or so, ... and, as I suggested, as wide as you allow it to grow. ... It is a rhizome, and so any part of what you think is a root remaining in the soil will produce another plant. ... That's why it spreads so vigorously, if I understand my information sources correctly. ... As for its suitability as a house plant, I see no reason why not, if given the required light and moisture.

Resilient!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I planted this in a pot and placed on my covered patio and it is thriving here in Arizona. I was a little worried one morning to discover something munched away about half the leaves but I just cut the plant back a bit and within a week I had more than 10 new shoots emerging from the soil. I don’t cook with peppermint but I have enjoyed snipping a few fresh leaves and using them for cocktails and other summer beverages. The flavor is so refreshing!

    Beautiful Plant
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very happy with the quality of this plant. It arrived very safely packed and in perfect condition. I was able to easily remove the plant from the packaging by rolling it around in my hands. The plant transferred beautifully and is doing wonderful. It is absolutely thriving. I have used some of the leafs of peppermint to infuse water. It makes a very tasty treat. I have also used some of the leafs in cooking. I would absolutely recommend these plants.

      Another new herb for garden
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the fourth new addition to my herb garden. At just four weeks, it is growing in very well. This versatile herb will go well in food or drinks and smells great. As new herbs are planted, it is fun to find new recipes and uses for the plants.

        Smells great
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so excited to get this live Peppermint Mint in the mail. Was so easy to plant just took it out of the container, put in it my pots, and it grows in either lots of sun or part shade. I love the way the peppermint leaves smell and taste. I enjoy it in my tea and salads. Can't wait to dry the leaves to add special flavors to other recipes.

            Smells good!
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this about a month ago and planted it immediately. The peppermint is thriving. I placed it on my back patio to help keep mosquitoes away. I would highly recommend anyone living in an area where mosquitoes are a problem to plant some. It’s delicious in iced tea.
