What I do is knock off enough of the nursery pot soil to get a good look at the roots, then make sure at least some of them are hanging downward instead of growing up and around the root ball. If its rootbound you'll know it - the roots will all be wound around the rootball - nothin' hangin' loose. Sometimes you have to get tough and really pull the roots away from that ball, or even cut right into the root ball to loosen them up. Those videos will show you what to do.

Very useful information. This video (the 1st one) is simply an eye-opener: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

My issue might be that the pot the mint is in is pretty much the upper limit I can have here on my balcony. Plus I think there are several mint plants that went into that pot. I thought it was 2, but I think these guys came as a massive colony of about 6-8 plants. Blinking
