mint family is kinda sassy  
Could be asking for more nutrients like a fertilizer or telling you that it’s soil has been too moist. I let my mint soil get almost dry and water when they’re about to start drooping

Are you getting full, intense sun like we’re getting in Atlanta? My plants are drooping much quicker due to lack of water here, much quicker than Planta has predicted. Check to see if they are bone dry and if so, water more frequently. Make sure you note that you watered in Planta so it will know to increase your watering.

Yes definitely getting some intense sun but it’s been raining every 3-4 days and so I usually just let the rain water it because I don’t want it to be over watered

It might be getting too much water. It needs to dry out between watering or the roots will sit in water too long and rot. I’m getting a lot of rain on several plants that can’t take wet feet too long. So, I have had to move my plants around to a covered area until the soil dries.

Mine is struggling now. Last year I was giving it water soaked in banana peel to fertilize and it loved that. I’m going to restart.
