mint
How can I keep my mint plant alive indoors over winter?
Mint can survive indoors over winter with strong light, regular watering, and occasional trimming; a simple LED grow light or the sunniest window you have is usually enough.

How often should I water basement houseplants under grow lights?
In a basement with strong grow lights and 24‑hour humidifiers, water only when the top 2–5 cm (1–2 inches) of soil are dry, then water thoroughly until it drains out the bottom. Don’t water on a schedule—let the soil dryness, pot size, and plant type guide you, and consider running the humidifier less so the soil can dry between waterings.
