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.

Hi Katie! I am wondering if your plant is just going into complete shock. If it was in a nursery, now moved to a flower bed. Did you slowly acclimate the plant from a β€œnursery” environment to the outdoor space?
I did have it on the side of the flowerbed in the pot it came in for a day, and the first two days I had it in the ground it was a little droopy but then it sprung back up and then droopy again. It's been like a roller coaster, but today is the worst it has looked. I didn't water it yesterday because I was testing if it was over watering
