You should be able to do so, but plants like mint thrive on different conditions than in house plants. This peppermint has grown AWAY from my July sun
Kentucky Colonel Spearmint hasn't that option, but was thick and lush til mid June and upper 90's temps.
Mojito Mint travelling 4' from original spot, again away from sun. I flood them with water since there is good drainage here- it is dry the next morning.
Last, in ground peppermint started this Spring from snippings, gets even more neglect, dry leaves (brown, curled) I see as dry roots.
Yellow leaves are dying leaves, can be caused by overwatering, underwatering- or even just stem grown too long and not pinched.
