I would agree that a few droopy leaves are no cause for alarm - it may be a combination of genetics and/or having gone through a period of slight stress. Most of my phals that have been under my care all have very stiff non-droopy leaves that stick out like a board. However a few of them, under exactly the same conditions have a "stiff" droopy leaf or two - there is droop and then there is "droop" too - do you mean soft pliable droopy or what appears droopy but is actually quite stiff? If the leaves are soft and floppy-droopy this can be a first sign of needing more water - from inadequate watering or the converse (root rot) - too much watering. Chances are yours are just fine/normal. Enjoy! mike
