I was afraud cause some the plants look brownLook good to me? The one in your second pic looks a bit spindly which could be lack of sufficient light. The others look healthy...you might want to get them into larger pots with better soil in the long run.
I don't see any "brown" in your photos. They look healthy.
Mind you it's normal and natural for some plants to have lower leaves turn brown and die off, but I am just not seeing that in the pics you provided.
Get them out of the store container and into larger ones with better soil and they will be fine.
Yes that is peppermint,spearmint,purple sage,ice plant, and thymeIs that a mint in the first photo? I don't see anything wrong with your plants particularly that mint which looks so prolific. I suggest you take off some branches of the mint to serve as cutting so you will have a backup plant. That's what we do with our indoor plants, we always have a backup so when something goes wrong, we can exchange the healthy with the unhealthy that is inside the house.
I was watering them everyday and then I stopped watering everyday and went to every other day since I saw the leaves and stuff, I knew something was wrong. I am also going to replant them all into bigger containersI can see a little bit on one or two leaf edges.
It seems consistent with slight overwatering.
Cut off these leaves (but no more) and let us know your watering regime, please.
Looks at this stage like a minor problem, and I'd be hopeful, if I were you, considering they look otherwise healthy.
One of my favorite herbs to grow is Mint. I love the way it tastes in my water (and I heard it helps detoxify you!). This being said I notice a lot of my mint plants’ stems dry up and die pretty easily. I water them and keep them in the sunlight. What am I doing wrong? I also heard Mint is a weed and will spread very fast if planted in a large space. Therefore, I don’t know what mine are so quick to die.
Mine are indoors and I am not sure on the zone, i have started watching every other dayHow often do you water, are they inside or out, and what is your USDA zone? Knowing your USDA zone (or more specific location) is critical to being able to give fully-informed advice, especially with outdoor plants but indoor ones too.
I have mint outdoors, both in containers and just growing wild (it's intregrated into the lawn now) and it comes up every year and I never, ever water it. I don't think I could eradicate it at this point if I wanted to!
As @headfullofbees indicated, overwatering may be the culprit and is probably the number one mistake gardeners make.
