That looks to be clay, instead of potting mix. Clay is not going to allow the plant roots the aeration that it needs. This will, ultimately, lead to overwatering, as the top of the soil dries out but the bottom remains saturated.

These are xeriscape plants, and will require far less water than your average houseplant.

Try watering less, and providing a well draining potting mix that does not contain clay. This should resolve the drooping.
