I just got this guy yesterday (repotted) too and noticed he was drooping. How can I help it recover from shock faster?

Mycorrhizal... past that did you water it before repotting?

I pulled it out the ground

It may or may not survive. Different plants have different tolerances for having their roots disturbed. I tried this with 2 different ferns recently, one did great and acclimated in no time while the other just slowly perished. This is all part of experimenting with plants. If it’s a full sun plant, keep in mind that disturbing its roots AND taking it out of full sun suddenly could be a lot to handle so you might consider having it get used to its new soil environment while keeping it outside and slowly weening it to the the inside environment. Or supplementing with a grow light. Also I can’t see from your pic but does your pot have drainage? I would be careful with that too. If you’re a new plant parent, managing watering requirements when there’s no drainage can be challenging.
