Charlie, my books on propagation just mention increasing mint by division.
Each mint stalk goes to a rooted rhizome, and you can increase like that.
But I propagate lots of things from cuttings.You don't have anything to
lose, so try it. Take the top of a mint stem, about two inches long, and
remove all but the very top leaves. To see what you're achieving, try
rooting it in water. Change the water every day or two and see if roots
begin to develop. If they do, don't pull the cutting out and plop it into
soil. Water roots are different from soil roots. Start filling your
container with soil, a handful a day for a few days until the cutting seems
satisfied, then remove the potting soil with cutting, and plant it in the
ground. Margaret L
