The day before yesterday, I tried to jump onto a stone platform that was about bellybuttons height. And of course I didn’t make it🫂🫂the sharpest edge scraped the skin of shinbone ( right in the pic)
It seems fine for the first two days and didn’t bleed at all. But tonight, On the third day, I realized it has suddenly become really red and hurts a lot when I touch it😸😸😸😸😸😸😸

Mint really just needs a lot of water and plenty of consistent sunlight. Once you give it that, you barely have to do anything — it’ll grow ridiculously well on its own.
This pot of mint started as one tiny cutting that I had shipped from really far away. At first, I barely watered it because I had never taken care of mint before. I would just spray a little water on it with a spray bottle, so it kept wilting.
Eventually, there was literally no green left in the whole pot. Later, I bought two more pots of mint locally, (pic2) and that’s when I learned that mint actually needs a lot of water — sometimes almost once a day. Those two new pots have been doing really well.
Then one day, I randomly decided to start watering this completely bald pot properly. For the first week, I could barely see anything. But then one day, I suddenly noticed that it had actually started growing again.
The craziest part is that before it came back, there had been no green in that pot for around two weeks, maybe even close to a month. I genuinely thought it was completely dead. At one point, when I changed the soil, I accidentally dug up some of its roots too, then just shoved them back in.
And somehow, it came back anyway. It even grew two more tiny leaves in the last couple of days. Mint is actually impossible to kill.
So yeah, give mint lots of water and steady sunlight, and it’ll basically take care of itself.
