How to fertilize Fewflower Milkweed

Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Fewflower Milkweed after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Help save my milkweed ! 😢 Hi there! I transplanted my milkweed from a nursery into my flower bed about 5 days ago. Since then it has been very up and down of looking normal to shriveled up like in the photos. Today it is very limp and I am worried about its survival. I read that I could be over watering or under watering. For context I am in south Texas with high heat and this is a full sun location. I appreciate any and all advice.
