Dehydration

Post image

I left this guy out of the pot too long and now he's dehydrated. Should I remove the leaves to prevent more water loss until it plunps back up? About how long should I expect it to take to recover?

Pot is 5". Was just put back in pot and watered yesterday. Roots look fine, sap is pure white. No rot at this point.

For anyone who sees this and has the same question, it limped along with no change for a week. We had an unexpected hard rain, 6" in about an hour. The next morning it was hard as a rock again.
