Nice Rojo!!! I think it needs water. Looks pretty dry.

Or if you just planted it recently it could be transplant shock too...if that's the case then make sure you check the soil and make sure it needs water before you water it.

I just transplanted it. I'll check to see if it needs water.

Looks like moisture stress to me.

Yes, it seemed moist.

It could be too much water then, or if it's in a sunny area and your days have been warm, with newly planted plants often their roots can't take up water fast enough on a warm sunny day to keep them from wilting and looking sad, and it's important if that's happening that you don't add more water every time you see them wilt, check and make sure that the soil is drying out first. If it is sunny and warm, you could try rigging up some shade over it to help it out a little bit.

Thanks, ecrane, I'll make sure to test the soil before watering and consider putting up a shelter.
