They droop with either over or under watering. If the leaves are drooping and you haven't fed them for a few days then common sense dictates...

Asda, as in the supermarket?

Try watering your plants with at least 2 litres of feed per pot. It should then take about a week for the next feed.

Just slice the bottom of the roots so that they are all pointing downwards.

I asked about ASDA, because that's what it's called in my country. we don't have walmart. Walmart bought Asda out a few years ago.

yours sound like heat stress. If you had lots of air the temp wouldn't be so high. get it down. More circulation. When you think you have enough circulation, double it.

twisting? How so? are leaf fingers turning to the side, or are they completely twisting around?
