Why is my Prayer plant drooping?

I bought this baby a few weeks ago and he seems to be drooping or folding over. Ive checked his soil and lighting seems to he ok. Any thoughts?

This is the most recent picture of him vs. His profile picture of when I got him.

They are called prayer plants because they will put their leaves up at night and during the day they fold them down to get the light they need. That is normal for these plants. It’s beautiful 🤩 enjoy!

If the above is not the full answer, look for mealy bugs under the leaves. Soft, cottony looking little bugs that hah out under the leaves.

@ExactSpangletop Larry is quite handsome!! As @VipSeraphina already said it’s normal for the leaves to be upright at night (praying 🙏) and down during daylight. Your plant profile for light, drainage, etc for him looks great! Enjoy!!

@ExactSpangletop hi Kendra! This type of plant is very needy and likes a lot of attention Lol. If you haven’t already heard, they do not like straight from the faucet tap water. Distilled or rain water works best for them. In addition, keeping a strict watering schedule is a must. High humidity is preferred as well.
