I just recieved a lovely Gerbera daisy plant as a gift but in has already started to wilt and become droopy?

This happened in just a day, I set it out on the porch last night so it could get some direct sun in the morning. Around 7:30 in the morning I walked out to see it starting to come back up to life however by mid afternoon it had returned to it%26#039;s wilted state. The soil still seems moist and I have not watered it since I recieved it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you!

u musta be kidding me. u took a plant from store and put it under direct sun light and asking what is wrong? it is dying from shock, this is what is wrong. u never ever take plants from inside and put them under direct sun for the whole day. u start from shadowy place for some minutes first, then for some hours, then u put it from shadowy place under open sun for a few minutes, then for a few hours and u never ever put house plants under direct sun. never. there re special plants which like open sun, they re rare, gerbera is not the one. and another thing to those who adviced to replant it into another pot - u do not replant into another pots right after bringing a plant to your house. u put it first out of direct sun light for a few days, then to a spot where u intend it to be and wait a few days. a plant is a living thing, it should adapt to a new enviroment. if u start replanting it right away u give it too much shock. sure it might survive, but mostly it won%26#039;t
Reply:water it. Indirect sunlight till it comes back.
Reply:If it was in a store pot, you should transplant it into a new pot, preferable ceramic, about 1 1/2 times as big as the current pot. If a plant becomes root-bound it will die. Also, the pots that plants typically come in do not hold water well.
Reply:If there is foil around your plant take it off as it is sitting in water trapped in the foil. Too much water will kill quicker than not enough. They can take full sun once they are established, they also do not like to be moved once you plant them in the ground. EDIT: Being an all knowing rude person to others will surely make plants grow.
