Hey I just got a nerve plant  
Any idea how to take care of it ?  
Yes it’s still alive just no water  
In I’d say a week and root shock😐

They are difficult. They need high humidity, above 50%. Top half of soil can dry out but no further. Don’t count the days as to when to water. Too many variables. Check the soil with your finger or a meter. The leaves on your plant are gone. No fixing. Cut down to soil. And hope it sprouts new leaves. This is what I did. And if it wilts too many times, it becomes very leggy. Mine is a red nerve plant. And the curled leaves are normal
