Divide it every few months to more pots. It grows like crazy. The type of mint determines if it likes water or not. Catnip likes sandy dry soil while pepperment loves growing right in wet sandbars of streams.

I'd pick the plant tops, then it'll branch out.
It likes a lot of light so I don't know how it would do indoors
The spearmint on the side of my house in Missouri comes up every spring.

I dont think they die because I planted some outside my house so I could make lots of mojitos and taboulli but it took over my side yard. It even went under the fence into my neighbors yard and invaded his vegetable bed 15 ft away and now he is mad at me and wants me to kill it. They start to look scrappy where the old growth is but the newer areas look nice still.

Mint is a goddamn menace and if you don't keep it isolated to pots it will consume every inch of ground it can. I once planted an herb garden with like 20 different kinds of herbs and by the third year it was half mint and half garlic chives. I dare you to kill it by over-harvesting or letting it get rained on. If it does I guarantee you can find someone near you who will give you a new plant.

Wanna make sure you have enough? Plant it in your back yard.

Whatever you do, DO NOT let it go to seed. If you see flower buds forming, cut them off immediately. It is a veracious weed that will overtake your garden and yard if you let it.

Mint isn't that bad. A mower easily takes care of it. It is no worse than grass. It is also super easy to remove from garden soil.

Your lawn must smell amazing just after you mow it.

Mint doesn't like being mowed so it stays where it is supposed to for the most part.

When I had a mint plant I could just pick a few leaves when ever. I also just kept it in a pot.

Just planted these all over my yard that only weeds will grow in. I think they're pretty. I'm basically slowly replacing all the ugly or nasty weeds in my yard with wildflowers.

They are quiet robust don't fertilize it, it becones a stronger taste when growing slow. You can harvest whenever you want... also if it has flowers. The taste the strongest righr before building flowers. You can split the roots to make another plant. Thes don't die. All leaves and sticks will dry in winter, butvthey build new in spring. And whats cool... the roots grow under the earth also in winter... it will cover a bigger place if enough space every year. I have approx 1 squaremeter of marocain mint and it allows me to make tea all summer and even freeze some for winter

Even if you pick all leaves it won't die, it just builds new as long as you leave the roots in.

Like the anons said, it's hard to kill.
The place I used to rent had a big pot with nothing growing in it standing outside, from the previous owners, and a crate a few feet away with 2 or 3 mint plants in it. Area was not taken care of, my roommate used to piss there when he was too lazy to go outside, and it barely got any sunlight. Spring next year both the pot and crate were overflowing with mint, with some in random spots in the ground too.
