Hey guys, I'm a little worried about my vft looking droopy... I got it the day (or rather night) before yesterday and it's a tiny baby (7cm/2'5 inch). Yesterday morning it was looking great, and I let it sit on a south facing windowsill for 5.5h to acclimate it to the sun and later moved it to a north facing one. I also put it in less than 1cm/0.5in distilled water (? vapour collected from boiling tap water). At the end of the day I noticed that the leaves were not as upright as they were in the morning, and today it's even worse, plus a tiny leaf hidden under there is turning black. (Btw I let it out on the south facing patio for 5.5h today and used a tiny bit of store bought distilled water.)

I think there might be a few reasons why it's wilting:
- general stress from relocation
-me moving it around way too often
-soil too wet (perhaps I let it sit in water for too long, especially since it's a tiny pot)
-sun exposure not gradual enough (bought from a metro station flower shop)
-?

The first pic is from yesterday morning and the second from this afternoon.



It would be greatly appreciated if anyone could give me advice on what to do next!

Idk if the images worked so here they are...

Looks perfectly healthy to me. Just wait for it to acclimatize. If you really want to, bag it/ put on a humidity dome.

That's reassuring, thank you!
