Try to be more patient. 1.5hrs isn't alot of time to get responses. Pics of the entire plant would help. What is the soil Ph? How often do you water? What are the temps?

There's your problem, or the main one anyway. Watering cycles should go from very damp all the way through to nearly dry. You need to wait until at least the top third of the soil is completely bone dry before watering again. Depending on your soil mix, that sized pot might need to be watered about once a week. Make sure there are drainage holes in the bottom that are large enough not to get clogged. Keep in mind that mature, healthy plants can survive all of the the soil drying out completely.

If you mean the brownish crispy patches, those are likely Phosphorus deficiency. Overwatering can cause more problems absorbing and/or making use of certain nutrients than others and is probably the cause of most if not all of the plant's drooping. The plant will probably need more P but be sure to let the soil dry out extra well one time before feeding it.

More to the point, the drooping is probably a separate issue from the brown crispy spots, in which case the overwatering isn't causing the crispyness but it's still the most critical problem.
