Hypoestes phyllostachya ????

Franklin, LA(Zone 9b)

ok.. i went to walmart the other day, and ofcourse was drawn into the garden department *sigh*
anyway.. they had a table of these marked half off... ($.86 apiece) so i picked up three of them:
one green and white variegated
one pink and green variegated
and one red and green variegated

they were completely dried out and appeared to be knocking on death's door
so when i got them home i gave them a good drenching and they perked right up
these are pretty small plants, in 4.5" pots
should i just leave them in these pots... should i repot them?
i really have no idea how to care for these, so any advice anyone can offer me would be appreciated :)
TIA
