This fellow is struggling to stand up straight. It was not over watered, it was dry yesterday and droopy so I gave him some water. Now he's even droopier:( you can see from the planta photo that it was really healthy when I first got it

How much light is it getting?

I'd unpot and check the roots for rot

This happened to one of my plants turns out the soil was hydrophobic and my plant wasn’t getting the water because the soil deep down was bone dry! Dig a little hole and check if the soil is dry. If not check the roots 🫡
