Watering habits?
Hi guys! Yesterday I bought this snow white waffle plant (at Walmart, if you can believe that 🥴) and repotted her as soon as I got home from work, because she was incredibly rootbound in the tiny, itty-bitty nursery pot they had her in. Apparently they had just watered their plants, and she looked great! After a few hours though, I noticed the leaves drooping, and I was wondering: has anyone noticed if waffle plants are particularly expressive when it comes to watering?
I gave her a bit of water, and she's mostly perked up again, but I was just wondering if this was a thing with waffle plants?
Some pictures from today for attention! The stem that you can see hanging down in the pictures isn't actually all that limp; last night before I watered it, it was touching the rim of the pot 😭

I have a purple waffle and a Snow White waffle like yours also. You’re in for a ride. They are EXTREMELY dramatic plants when it comes to watering, so when mine starts to wilt I water. If it looks like yours is completely dead if it’s dry for to long it’s not soak that baby and in a few hours good as new I’ll tag a pic of mine dead when I get home tonight because I forgot to water last night, you’re good everything’s okay they’re are just very water sensors
@HpflHeart Hi! It's been a while, but I'm living in a dorm with who has a cat now, and the cat definitely wants to eat my waffle plant :') trying to rig smthn up now to keep her away, but there's not many options, so I might just have to find a shelf somewhere 😭
I also saved a waffle plant from Walmart, with same thing going on. They seem to like to be watered about everyday or mine will start curling up and looking bad. It's a beautiful plant but very finicky.
