Is there any chance it’s overwatered? That can also cause drooping if some of the roots have started rotting. It may help to add some chunky amendments to the soil to help with drainage, like perlite or orchid bark. (Use a mask if you go with perlite!)

If it’s not from over or underwatering, it could be a nutritional deficit which could be remedied with fertilizer. Lighting is also a factor, but if it’s placed in the window pictured, I think it would be fine.

I don’t know about overwatered. The app says it’s high demand and because it’s inside the house the soil gets dry but it could be possible! Should I let it sit for like a day or two after it dries out or what? But your other tips I will try! 🥰 Thank you so much.

If you happen to have a wooden chopstick around, you can use that to check the soil moisture! If it comes out clean, the soil is dry.

Morning Glory don’t want their soil to dry completely between waterings. They like their soil moist, but if it gets a bit more swampy than just moist, the roots could rot. The only way to tell for sure would be to check the roots and see if any are turning black!

It needs support; morning glories are crawlers
