The plant could be thirsty. Leaves droop, or wilt when they aren’t watered enough.  
A good method to see if the soil is ready to be watered is the chop stick method.  
If the chop stick comes out dirty, the plant does not need to be watered. If the chop stick comes out clean, the plant does need to be watered. Try that, and let us know the results. If the plant doesn’t need to be watered (the chopstick was dirty) then I can help figure out the problem from there.

Thank you! I checked and it is a little dry so I’ll water it. I watered it just a few days ago so maybe I’m not watering it enough. Is there a good way to know how much each plant needs or do you kinda of figure it out eventually?

What type of plant do you have? Every plant is different - but if I know what type of plant it is, I could help you with your watering schedule, do you know?

Oh I know!!! It’s a flamingo lily!!!  
Over the summer, they should be watered twice a week.  
You should keep the should moist at all time, but not wet.

Thank you so much!! I’ll start doing that

This is great advice, but remember to always check to see if it actually needs water before watering because plants don’t usually like schedules

The flowers don’t last forever. It looks to me like that one just expired. You can cut it out.

Gorgeous color!
