all around the bottom, and it's looking sad...it was growing profusely on my window sill but it just stopped. i have it sitting in partial sun next to my spearmint and lemon balm, and they both seem fine. i water whenever the pots seem dry. I also have an outbreak of fruitflies in my kitchen (thanks to a six year old who doesn't understand the apple core actually has to go IN the garbage can, lol) and i'm wondering if the fruit flies could be causing the damage somehow? TIA for any and all help

Maybe it's getting too little sun. My mint is in full sun and is too happy. |

hahaha! Yeah, right! The lemon balm should be happy, though. |

My peppermint and spearmint are doing the same thing, but they're in full sun. It has started to cool off here in Omaha, and the plants are starting to do better. Someone suggested to me on a different post that they may be getting burned. Just another suggestion. |
