Is the soil too wet, too dry? Is it only one plant? If there’s more than one plant, they may be root bound? I’d snip the ends off and use them. This will encourage more growth. @KariSamuel your thoughts?

Thanks for the tag, @brightcolours. I agree that it is likely too wet. It is the main reason most go limp. But, as previously suggested, if you start snipping it for use, it should rebound, or you may have it growing in a too small of a pot. Welcome to Gtags and we look forward to seeing more of your gardens and plants.

Thank you so much!! @brightcolours and @KariSamuel will definitely try snipping and be cautious about watering

A thorough watering encourages deep roots = more resilient plant.

I think it needs a larger pot.
