How to save drooping foliage

The leaves of my plant are curled and disappeased now, I suspect it is the plant root lack of oxygen, or too much water, because I want to ask what good method can save my plant.

Hello, With the plants drooping and clawing down, i agree with everyone about the overwatering aspect....what sort of bags are they in? Is there drain holes at the bottom? But i also was a bit worried at the leaves very dark appearance with the clawing...because I usually associate that with too much nitrogen. So I'd say water less, increase drainage, look into how much "grow" nutrients you use, and add a fan nearby to help dry them out quicker. Good luck with the problem solving. Happy growing. ✌️

Well as long as they're still growing they will be fine. Just water a lot less at one time and less often. I water every 3 days and when I do, I water with just enough to saturate the pot with a tiny runoff (I don't worry too much about runoff unless I see nutrient excess) 🌱👍you can place an oscillating fan at root level to help dry those pots out quicker. Try watering around and avoiding the centre also, this will force the roots to grow outwards.

Some times less is more and honestly if you've made steps to correct it.. Just wait it out, sometimes as people we wanna get in there and control our plants and force them to grow. But sometimes the ladies just need a break and a rest. If she's getting what she needs water, air, a little nutrients and sunlight she should bounce back in time no problem :)

In the afternoon, I had a rescue operation for her, because she had grown in perlite free soil. I helped her get a new non-woven flowerpot with perlite, but her roots were also damaged, and I didn't know if the girls would survive.
