Photo of Chiritas- Advice needed

I have 2 chiritas that the older leaves appear to be wilted and hang down. The newer leaves are turgid and erect. They are not lacking in water, but may have had too much or too little in the past. What caused this and what should I do? See pics below. The one with variegation is is Moonlight, and the long larrow leafed one is Crossroads.
Also I have one Chirita that has outgrown it's space (see back lit pic below), If I cut the top out, what will happen? Will it die or make multiple crowns? will the top cut off part root? This is C. flavimaculata, according to label.This one came out sideways. sorry
