How to Select Healthy Mexican Mint？

When selecting a healthy mexican mint, look for vibrant, deep green leaves, avoiding any with yellowing or browning edges. Ensure the plant shows no signs of pests like aphids or spider mites. The overall appearance should be bushy, with sturdy stems, not limp or wilting. Check for healthy, moist but not waterlogged soil. Vigorous growth with no signs of disease or mold is essential. Gently inspect the roots if possible; they should be white or light tan, not brown or mushy.
