1. Watering Issues
Overwatering: Roots may suffocate, leading to drooping or limp leaves.
Underwatering: Lack of water can also cause the plant to droop.
Check the soil: is it soggy or bone dry? That’s a good clue.
2. Light Stress
Not enough light can lead to weak, leggy growth.
Too much direct light or heat can cause drooping or heat stress.
3. Root Development Problems
Root-bound in pots or root rot (common with overwatering).
Poor drainage or compacted soil could also limit root oxygen.
4. Temperature and Humidity
Extreme temperatures or low humidity can affect turgor pressure in leaves.
Sudden environmental changes are also a common stress factor.
5. Pests or Subtle Disease
Even if no clear spots or damage is visible, pests like fungus gnats can damage roots.
6. Nutrient Imbalance
A lack or excess of key nutrients (especially nitrogen, potassium, or magnesium) can cause weakness.
