The usual reason is lack of moisture causes the stomata underneath the leaves to close,to stop transpiration, this gives the appearance of the leaves flopping. This effect can also be caused by overwatering.

Why will wilting of a flower occur?
A plant usually wilts because it needs water.
When water becomes limited what generally happens to the rate of photosynthesis?
it stops and the plant wilts due to osmosis
When does plant wilting occur?
Plant wilting occurs after excessive loss of water by transpiration and lesser absorption by the roots. The deficiency of water in the cells make them flaccid and the plant wilts.
What happen to the plant's root if the plant is over watered?
The water forces air out from the soil, and the cells of the root hairs get damaged and will eventually die due to the lack of oxygen. At this point, the plant becomes unable to pick up water, wilts and dies. The symptoms are confusing, because at first glance, the plant reacts the same way to the lack of water as to overwatering.
How does competition with other plants effect plant growth?
When other plants need the same nutrients and water that the other plant needs they compete for the nutrients and won't get as much as they should do. When a plant doesn't get the required amount of water, it wilts

Damp soil around the stem or collar of a plant can cause it to rot, when this starts the conductive tissues in the stem are damaged and the plant wilts as water cannot be drawn up from the roots - in most cases the plant will then die
What life characteristic happens when a plant wilts and dies from drying out?
Deficiency of water in plant cells due excessive loss due to transpiration and less absorption
Why a tulip plant wilts if it is not watered?
