to make sure your not over watering, dont water it until you can stick your finger 2-3 inches down and its dry, and then rewater, experiment with this, if 2-3 inches makes it wilt a little it could just be a more dependant strain on water, so add more often to make it about an inch down

Don't be scared to let that plant start to droop with the leaves. The plant will tell you when it needs water. The leaves don't always stick straight up in the air. You can always grow with coco coir and you can't overwater that stuff....grows really good too!:smokin:

Your soil should be dry at least 2 inches down and even deeper with a bigger pot.

I knew someone would make a comment about those haha .... I thought about photoshopping it but that wouldnt be any fun plus I'm lazy ....well this all happend pretty much over night .. and the leaves were really soft and mushy almost now they are a little drier and some even have began to perk up (the ones that were droopy and looked wilted) Hopefully it will revive itself .... now other than watering like I usually do with miracle grow is there anything I can spray on the leaves themselves to help it grow or any other helpful trick anyone knows of ??? thanks .. -T'rey

I think your best course of action is to pull the plant out and inspect the roots. That looks like overwatered but I'de bet there is a little root rot going on. That planter doesn't look like it has hole to promote drainage. A transplant asap may save your plant. Good drainage is key.
