Some background: I live in north Texas, and it’s been hitting over 100 here recently. I had the little fella out in direct bright light and he got burned to a crisp. I moved him to a shady spot, then I tried to prune him at the 45 degree angled nodes to make him bushier. I also usually give him lots of water (probably about twice a day). I think the combination of being in the shade and having lots of water led to this. My girlfriend has a mint plant too and it’s watered the same amount if not more but it’s in a sunny spot.
All that’s to say — can my baby boy make it?

You can always try to let it survive, and have decorative sticks if it doesn’t. I would call it very dead just from this picture but u never know
It is hard to get rid of mint, give it some time i would say.
Cut it back a little more & take off the dead leaves. If your roots look okay, it’ll most likely come back. I’m in Houston and have thought I lost so many plants to the heat but I’ve cut them back, kept up with watering and most have come back. Don’t put it back in full sun while it’s growing but make sure it still has bright light.
Which of the two dried up plants in the picture do you mean?
