Take a look under the leaves and be sure there are no little brown things on it. Scale sometimes causes them to look droopy because the scale mother lays the eggs and when they hatch they suck the life out of the leaf as they grow. The brown little shellsof the older scale stay on the leaves otherwise you can not see the babies. I found some on my spider not too long ago and they spread quickly so be sure it is not them.

I find mine are happier when they are in low light and on the dry side, once they perk up they can take some sun and some water. I also leave mine get really pot bound and Cheryl has a point, do not plant it too deep in the pot if you decide to repot it. Please keep us posted on how things are going. Big Grin
