Work up to my plant looking dead and I checked the roots and no rot so I just put watered it. Anyone have any advice to care for Polka dot plant?

Some plants can be really dramatic when they’re thirsty

This is true for this one!

They are mega thirsty, I’d move it into a ceramic or plastic pot to reduce the watering need. Terracotta is doing you no favors in this case.

Echoing everyone else to say this is a super thirsty plant. Sometimes they take a few hours to “bounce back” after a thorough watering.

echo again to emphasize these guys are so dramatic when they’re thirsty
