Welcome! 6064. The plant may simply be going through the stress of re-potting. It can take days and sometimes weeks before those roots can once again take in water and nutrients, thus the wilted leaves. IF the soil is wet you certainly gain nothing by watering. Keep the plant in good, indirect light and be sure it is kept warm. Let the top 2" of potting mix dry before re-watering and if you have a saucer under the pot, empty that saucer after each watering. These plants are easy to grow.

Good luck. By the way, please post where you live.
