My plant leaves are drooping very badly it looks like. What do I do to fix this? They have just done this throughout the day.

Over watering. Let the soil dry out. The solo cup should be very very light when you pick it up indicating its dry. Sometimes the top layer of soil dries out but when you pick up the solo cups you feel weight at the bottom. Its not time to water. Let them try back and make sure there is adequate drainage at the bottom. Just looking @ the pics possible light stress aswell. What light and distance are you using?
 
Need a bit more information, are you using soil, coco? Are your cups heavy could be overwatering, what are you feeding them? Ph levels? Temp?
 
I thought that was it. They were pretty well bone dry this morning and they got maybe a half to 1 shot glass worth of water. But thanks. And the light I turned on high just to take a Pic. I've been thinking the light was a little low at a little over a foot up, but if I got any further up, they really stretch on me. Still trying to find my sweet spot

Soil. PH around 6. No feeding yet. Just happy frog soil. Temps between 72 and 78. Cups were pretty light this morning and gave them small amount of water
 
Drainage is very important if it were me I’d mix up 1 tsp cal mag per gallon increase size of drainage hole slightly and feed 1/4 cup keep light about 20” above plants for a week-10 days they’ll be fine

Awesome thanks. I'll try those things out. They've been doing great until today, so I'm sure it's nothing serious.
 
It's an aloe plant that froze and its slowly sort of starting to come back to life. I'm not too sure about it. Lol
 
I grow aloe for food, beauty and garden. It's pretty amazing in the garden if used moderatly and the right way..
But you'd be better off getting a new plant 4-6" tall. Use cactus soil, it's a fast draining mix. Aloe loves light but requires very little, just a drink every so often. Less is so much more with aloe.
I have 2 indoor aloe plants that together in one pot weigh around 75lbs. Right now they're in the dark side of the basement, I watered them 2 months ago.

If you want to try and revive the one you have, put it on the kitchen counter or somewhere it will get natural daylight. Target medium -low levels of light.
