"This guy"?? Ha! ;)
Yeah, of course "drooping" can happen for a few reasons, and quite often there's nothing wrong.......or there's an overreaction to it. That's why I think once you've got the watering thing down, thorough, moist everywhere, not soaked, letting the soil dry out betwern waterings doesn't mean let 95% of it get bone dry. There should still be some light moisture felt down many inches. All these things that find that sweet spot of balance. Not too anything.......yeah I don't know if dry soil pockets cause localized plant problems, but roots don't like it for too long, and if the pockets are bone dry, it's hard to water.......the soil is now so dry it repells water, water rolls over and around it, it doesn't soak up quickly. Like drizzling water over a hard dry sponge, it rolls right off. That's waiting too long to water.
once you've got that down, you can put that aside and focus on other things (if there's something wrong). There's plenty of lists and charts/pictures that show leaves and plants with every kind of nutrient deficiency. Match it up, then go light, see how it works, you can always add more in a few days.
