Hi Granjan. Your indoor plants should always be ever so moist especially during the winter season. If you stick your finger in the soil and you feel moisture, then it doesn't need water. If you feel dry, then add water. It should never be muddy. It's a good idea to run a vaporizer during the winter. Your plants will love it. If you don't have a vaporizer, put your plants in the bathroom when you take a shower. But don't leave them in the bathroom. Good luck Granjan and Happy Holidays.
For under $15 you pick up moisture meter at walmart. That will last for many years and you will always know when to water and when to let it go another day.

If they're just recently drooping, I'd say they need water, but put your finger about an inch into the soil and see if it's moist. If the plants are turning black at the ends of the leaves (and the soil is wet to the touch) then overwatering is the culprit. Good luck!
Cindy’s tip is great. Some plants can go dormant in winter. If leaves aren’t browning near the bottom, it’s underwater; brown atop is over. Check with a garden store for more help.
