Drooping leaves are usually a sign of “HELP!” This can happen when the BOP is under or overwatered. Has your plant been adjusting to environmental change recently? That could be another cause. I would also check the soil moisture along with the roots to see if there is root rot. If so repot into a well draining pot mix that has peat, perlite, or sand.

Before waterings try the chop stick method, when placing the chop stick in the soil all the way down, if the chopstick comes out dirty, the plant does NOT need to be watered, if the chopstick comes out clean, the plant DOES need to be watered.
