Does underwatering your plants also cause the leaves to be droopy?Cause I know when you overwater they tend to become very droopy.

yeah but sometime they will become very dry. This is how my plant is right now. I went out of town for the weekend and i thought i gave it enough water but i guess i didnt. When i came back on sunda night my plant was droppy and the tips were brown. I am now takeing care of if but it still looks dead, its been about 1wk since that insident, but it will go back to normal eventually but will slow down my grow a lot

.. best way i've personally found to know when it's time to water is by 'hefting' the pot. Feel the weight of it after u've watered- pretty forkin heavy. Water when u pick up the pot and it 'feels' empty. If the leaves are droopin then u've waited too long to water. I heft my pots, and it works well for me. Good luck.

Yes, over-watered and under-watered plants can both droop, though under-watered plants tend to appear much worse than over-watered.

I can vouch for this as well.... one of mine got real thirsty once, and overnight the entire plant was droopin, badly. Gave her some water and she was perked back up within a few hours!!!
