About this plant
Mint is a vigorous, spreading herb with bright green, aromatic leaves and square stems. Mentha species are native to Europe, Asia and Africa, and mint has a long history in Middle Eastern and South Asian kitchens, from fresh mint tea to salads, yogurt dishes and drinks. It spreads by runners and quickly fills a pot.
In Dubai, mint grows strongly from October to April. In summer it needs shade from midday and afternoon sun, plenty of water and good drainage, or the leaves burn and the plant thins. It handles humidity well but dislikes salty water, which browns the leaf edges. Indoors it can grow on a bright windowsill, but it becomes leggy in low light.
Mint is ideal for kitchen windowsills, shaded balconies and herb planters. Grow it in its own pot, because in a shared bed it spreads and crowds out other herbs. We offer it at 20–30 cm, ready to harvest from.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Mint healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Bright light or morning sun; afternoon shade from May to September. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Daily in summer, every 2–3 days in winter; keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: rich, moisture-holding potting mix with good drainage. Feeding: a balanced liquid feed every 3–4 weeks in the growing season. Common mistake: planting mint in a mixed herb bed, where its runners take over. Where it works: kitchen windowsills, shaded balconies and herb pots.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats, dogs and horses (essential oils; can cause vomiting and diarrhea with large ingestions).
