Funny enough it does really poorly as a house plant.

I think mint just likes to be constantly moving into a new frontier. I can keep it going in a pot year to year, but it gets super root bound. If I pull the plant out of the pot, and chop it into thirds with a shovel, and repot, I keep getting high harvests.
