Drooping plant

Only two reasons for droopy plants:
1. Lack of moisture
2. Lack of drainage/overwatering
If your plant has been in the same container for awhile “droopyness” can be an indicator it’s time to pot up to a larger size. If it seems like you need to overwater just to keep the plant from drooping then it’s time to pot up. If you pull the old root ball out and it smells like pond it’s due to bad drainage; anaerobic conditions. The fix is still to pot up larger but to also add aeration inputs like perlite and be sure there’s good drainage in the container. Fabric pots virtually eliminate this condition.
