    Hi my mint has yellow dots on the leaves but seems healthy otherwise. Any idea what it could be?

    How tall is it?, are you growing it inside? and is it a pot?:scratch:

    I like to keep mine short, it might a bit of a feed :noidea:

    Nice mode of transport, hope the compost doesn't stain the leather interior:snork:

    Mint goes like that when it starts to get old and woody.
    It really prefers quite boggy conditions that are quite rich to keep the foliage looking good.

        cut it down and repot, you should get some new shoots.
