I've had this plant for a couple of years (started as a baby plant) and it's usually nice and straight up / bushy… but for about 1-2 weeks it's been drooping a lot. Is this a sign of over- or under watering?

I thought I overwatered it, but the soil was dry! Is this a sign of under watering? I am wary of adding more water if it's been overwatered, but I did keep watering if because the soil was really dry. anything else I can/should do?

    Have you looked at the roots? Is it root bound?

    Is it getting enough light there? I ask because it looks quite long/leggy compared to my orbifolia, which has similarly large leaves.

    Other than that, I agree with checking the roots to see if it’s due for a repot. I have a few plants that suddenly start drooping and needing frequent watering when they’ve pushed all of the soil out of the pot lol.

  3. I think this is compacted soil from irregular watering. Happened to a few of mine as well. Repotting is your best bet
