My northern light auto looks droopy to me? I only water every 2 to 3 days when the soil feels mostly dry. Light stress or am I just worried for nothing? Thanks a bunch

I’d add to the watering issue possible light stress. Has she been in direct sun for long. Is it near the end of the day? Or after watering.

Is this the plant that is usually outside? It's normal that leaves look droopy in dark/darkish environment after a bright sunny day. Droopiness (at least partly) is due to foliar nyctinasty - ability of some plants to move their leaves in response to light. If there are no other reasons for droopy leaves, tomorrow on the sun plant will be fine.

To me, it sounds like the auto looks too wet. I'd really let that thing dry out. Try waiting 4-5 days before watering again on this one. If you can get in there, try to lift the pot up. You don't need a scale even, just get a good feeling of what a pot full of damp soil feels like vs what a dry one does. Try to lift up the other plants too, to get an idea. It sounds stupid, but when I did that it really clicked what the weight difference was in relation to how thirsty the plants are.

Hey man, it indeed looks droopy and something is definitely going on. It might be several factors causing this. watering every 2-3 days is a bit too close unless you live in a very dry and hot area. This can lead to root rot and if I might take a guess your right at the start of it. Other factors to consider that might cause this is pests, check it a bit out although from the photos it doesn't show any signs. One last thing to consider is VPD, if the environment is very humid and you are watering so regularly the plant cannot transpire well and becomes droopy. Let the soil dry out completely until the pot feels light and check for any improvements. Good luck
