Droopy leaves?

I have had Xena for a couple of weeks now. Her top leaves are nice and perky but her lower leaves are rather droopy, even after watering. Is this normal? She looks otherwise quite healthy. I purchased her from a local nursery where I have bought quite a few other plants and never had issues. She is directly in front of an east facing window. I have been watering her about once per week, but her soil does seem to dry extremely fast (within just a day or two) so Iโ€™ve considered replacing her soil with something that wont dry out quite so quickly. Any advice is appreciated! #Ficus #ficusburgundy

If she dries out so fast you might have to repot her to a bigger pot.
As for the leaves, if she looks otherwise healthy and it's only a few lower leaves, it could be just old age.
Lower leaves die off eventually.
