Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comTwo questions:
First, I just noticed that my mint plant’s stalk has broken and the broken part is browning. What should I do? Should I cut it and propagate it? Or is there another remedy? The broken part is toward the bottom and if I need to cut and propagate it’ll be a pretty long part so I’m hoping there’s another way.
Second, there are some spots on the leaves and I’m not sure what they are and if I should be worried about them. The spots were white and now they’ve turned brown and I see one starting to brown the actual leaf from the tip.
Pictures attached of part of stem where it’s bent/broken and another picture where you can see the spots on leaves.
