Help my friends gave me a baby nerve plant today and it looks absolutely sad now… is it possible that it’s just in shock from being removed from its pot?

Very likely that it’s in shock. Give it high humidity if possible

Water it. It will probably spring back. They are very dramatic when thirsty.

That’s a big pot for a little guy. Could definitely be shock or dehydration

It eventually put it in a 2 inch I just needed to get it home :)

These are kind of tough. I keep mine in a terrarium setting and it’s thriving. Otherwise never could make it happy

Mine may not be exactly the same but these both like the same conditions

They are drama queens and like to stay moist not soggy!!
