Hi all! I just purchased a dieffenbachia (it looked floppy when I got it). Should it be floppy like this or am I doing something wrong/can I fix it? It is partially under a grow light and gets a little bit of sun through those door windows beside the grow light.

Dieffenbachias are so dramatic 🤣 when my leaves get floppy, I know it’s time for watering! Your plant doesn’t look too floppy yet but if the soil is dry, it could need a drink!
