Check for a dry root zone

What this suggests
Too little available water may explain the symptoms. Verify that the root ball itself is dry before watering.

Confirm the clues
• Feel more than one spot; the surface and root ball can differ.
• Check for water running around a dry root ball instead of soaking in.

What to do now
1. If the plant is due for water, apply it slowly across the root area. Let a container drain completely.
2. Recheck moisture before watering again. Cacti, succulents, and dormant plants need different drying intervals.

Hold off on
Do not repeat small daily splashes or add fertilizer to a wilted plant.

What to watch for
Check posture later today and again tomorrow morning. Persistent wilting after moisture is restored needs a closer root and stem inspection.
