It doesn't get totally dry, but for the most part...like when I can see it beginning to crack at the top of it, which comes about to near 24 hours. And it's been I'd say about 24 hours since this has probably happened. It's apparent that someone used a knife or screwdriver to gain entry to my closet..and my mom is incredibly pissed that he would stoop to doing something like this...and I'm pretty sure that it's the case here. Leaves are wilting and becoming incredibly thin and then continuing to die...not yellowing, turning a brownish color..
