Hi. My plant is on it's 7th leaf but all of them are very droopy looking,as if they were underwatered, but I know that is not the case.

Any suggestions on what to do for droopy leaves?

Thanks, Robby

i think overwatering is like hyperventilation---
breathing harder causes more problems....until you pass out.
i would think that cutting-in-half your watering frequency,
or add a day between, add another day between, and so on...
perhaps the roots are near the surface, or they are waterlogged, temp. too high... uhhh, somebody else, ohhh, yeah, i remember who, but can't say who, uhhh, cut back on the temperature and everything straightened out for him....
i believe the plant's roots will go to the water. if you water too frequently, the roots stay near the surface.
if it's too hot and you only have an adequate but not large root system, the plant won't make enough turgidity to keep the leaves shiny 'n happy. i may be totally wrong, but this is what i THINK could have a lot to do with your problem.pal
