The first mistake is to add too much water.
Overwatering should be avoided in mint and coriander. Due to daily watering, the roots of the plant rot, or they fall into the soil. According to horticulture studies, excessive watering causes lack of oxygen in the roots, which causes root rot. Therefore, add water only when the soil starts drying.
