Nerve Plant Help
I watered my plant more than an hour ago and gave her some more water just now, but she hasn't perked up at all. Does anyone know what's wrong? It feels like this happened overnight and I think she was fine yesterday.
2ft to light, indirect
4” pot with drainage

@WinAmazonlily hi Audrey! How long has it been since it was re-potted? These plants LOVE water and humidity! You need to keep the soil moist at all times and they need 60-70% humidity as well! I can’t give mine enough water! BUT- you don’t want to allow the soil to be completely soaked either! They will drown as well. You have to find that happy place, Goldilocks zone, the soil needs to be just moist. This is absolutely lack of water and once it gets to a point, it’s hard to bring them back. There is a lot of soil in the pot! I have always had better luck using a shallow pot for these guys because you have no idea what is going on deep down in the pot. If it were mine, I would clip away the brown parts, because they are not coming back, and sit the entire pot in a bowl of water to that the soil will soak up the water from the bottom. If it’s old soil it could take awhile! Maybe a couple of hours but once all the soil is wet allow all the extra water th drain out. See what it looks like in the morning! I will send you all my plant parent energy! I hope it helps you and your lil nerve plant! Good Luck!🪴🌺
I think you just need to give her more time. In my experience, it takes more than an hour. Hopefully, she’ll look better tomorrow. While they like high humidity, mine do fine in self watering pots in intermittent very low humidity and right now in this part of the country, it is really really low and my nerve plants are fine.
