There's a simple, for all I know go-to remedy to this in my head, so maybe I'm going to answer my own question...
I dug up and transplanted a robust Large Orange Thai from the 8th acre last week, and after a day of dying it once again became robust. The medium I planted it into was a mix of the soil it came out of, a large dose of Schultz potting soil and about 6 cups of Miracle Gro Perlite (which means, of course, there's ferts in it....).
I had left it out for a week, including a day of solid, soaking drizzle, which unfortunately saturated the plant. I brought it in to dry out, but the medium is loathe to release all that moisture and the plant is beginning to wilt again...
My solution is to use a long, thin screwdriver and perforate the shidt out of that soil, thus aerating the medium and giving the roots some access to air. I just last week shocked the shinola out of it, I don't want to put it through any more drama....
...though I haven't ruled out trimming a lot of the tops and giving the plant less work to do....
As you can see, she ain't petite...
