I don't have any specific advice because I don't have that plant but there are huge differences regarding what kinda soil, how much water, sunshine and nutrients they prefer. I used to just buy plants and water them weekly but after a few victims I google and print the specific instructions whenever I buy a new plant : D

Looks like sage to me. The drooping leaves and the brown edges usually happen when the roots are suffocating and a little too wet. Sage actually prefers drier, well draining soil and does not like sitting in moisture for long. The mix in the pot looks a bit heavy for a small container. If the pot has drainage holes, letting the soil dry a bit more between waterings should help. Removing the wood mulch and trimming the worst leaves can also give the plant a chance to recover. It should bounce back once the roots get some air. If you end up changing the soil, use something that drains quickly. A simple mix works well: regular potting soil with some perlite or coarse sand mixed in. That keeps water from sitting around the roots. Sage prefers lighter, airy soil rather than dense or mulch heavy mixes. Allow the top soil to dry and water only once every 3 to 5 days. For watering, try giving it a deep soak and then letting the soil dry out a bit before watering again. Stick a finger about an inch into the soil. If it still feels damp, wait another day or two. If it feels dry, that is a good time to water. When you do water, pour slowly until a little drains from the bottom of the pot. That helps make sure the roots get moisture evenly. Sage generally does better with a thorough watering and then a short dry period rather than frequent small amounts. (edited)
