Help! I left for a few days and my calatheas just wilted. I watered and moved them closer to a window for added sun but…  
See before and after pics. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

That happens to mine if I’m a couple days late with watering. For me I drown them and let them be and they bounce back. Sometimes some leaves will die off but the plant it self revives itself after a good drink

They are such drama queens when it comes to watering

They are!! I looked to YouTube university and pruned offf all the drooping leaves, and watered it a BUNCH! I think it’s looking better so thank you all!!
