**Daily care: What conditions make this species "happy"? For example, if it is a plant, does it like shade or bright sunlight?**
====Mint prefers, and usually grows better in partial shade. However, they can grow in many conditions- including full sunlight. Because mint is an "invasive" plant, and grows widely and quickly it's better controlled when planted in deep, bottomless pots in the ground. Mint does not require much water, and too much water may not kill it, but it is not the best way to care for it. You shouldn't need water your mint more than 2-3 times a week.====

**Other interesting information:**
====Mint can be used as an environmentally friendly insecticide against mosquitoes and other certain insects. It also has medicinal and cosmetic uses such as: It is good to help with sore throats and stomach aches- in the form of tea/ drinks. It is used in a lot of perfumes and toothpaste as a fragrance/ smell, and it used to be used simply to whiten teeth. It's also used in cigarettes to dim down the taste of tobacco. It is also used in creams to relieve bug bites, and it's smell is good as a throat and nose decongestant.====

PET PLANT INVESTIGATION:
====For my dependent variable: The Height of One Stem I predict that over the next three months the height of this stem will increase. I think that if I water my plant and take care of it I will allow my plant to grow, including all of the stems. (:====

====For my dependent variable: The Length of One Leaf on The Plant I expect that at the end of three months the leaf will have grown longer. However, I assume that it will only be slightly longer by the end of the first month, a little bit more by the end of the second month, and hopefully significantly longer by the end of the third month. If I take care and water the plant (also because the weather is getting water) the plant will grow, as will the leaves.====

====For my dependent variable: The Weight of My Plant I assume that the weight will increase over time. I believe that as the plant grows, obviously, it will get heavier. Also, adding water to the soil makes the soil heavier, which will increase plant weight.====
