When you say ‘wilting,’ do you mean that they are a little limp? I see no discoloration and only some very minor wrinkling on the lowest leaf. When was the last time you repotted? Do you know how your roots are doing? I can really only see one, a bit, in the pic, but it looks decent. If your roots are fine, then I’d just increase the frequency of your watering a bit.
