Sunlight: Place the pot in a sunny spot, as mint thrives in partial to full sunlight.

Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; mint prefers damp conditions.

Pruning: Regularly trim the leaves to encourage bushier growth and prevent legginess.

Container Size: Mint can be invasive, so consider growing it in a container to control its spread.
