Place in a glass of water and change every two days to maintain a healthy plant. Once the roots have sprouted to about 2cm, move to a larger pot.

Mint plants are easy to grow indoors year-round. Similar to basil, gather a few stalks and remove the lowest leaves. Place the cut stem into potting soil and water it, cover the pot with a clear plastic bag and place in sunny window for three weeks.
Using a wide surface container is important to keep the mint roots from encircling themselves. Mint is easy to grow and one of the hardest plants to die.
