Any tips on bringing this plant back to life? I believe it's a nerve plant. How often should it be watered when it's young?

Red nerve plant. They looooove moisture. Keep soil moist with good drainage and near a humidifier.

These are very thirsty as plants go. They also faint dramatically if they go too long between waterings. It should recover very quickly, but try not to let it faint often. Always give it good drainage in its soil to help prevent root rot
