Basil plant drooping

I adopted this sweet basil a couple days ago, and the bottom stems have been very droopy. What can I do to fix this problem? Am I overwatering, is there not enough sunlight, or what?
If it’s only been a couple of days, it’s likely your plant is still just not used to it’s new home yet :) plants may take a little while to get used to the climate of your home as opposed to their greenhouse/place they grew up in! slight wilting/loss of a few leaves/some yellowing leaves on the bottom is considered normal for the first week or so. However if it gets worse I would consider a pest problem, climate problem, or if it hasnt been repotted it may be root bound. Hope this helps!
