I'd completely soak that medium. Let it drain and she should perk up. What ya feeding her?

Over watering is usually a matter of frequency, not volume. I'd recommend watering very slowly until you see some runoff, that way the medium will be fully saturated. When it is saturated, pick it up to gauge the weight. Do that fairly often. Eventually you'll get a feel for when it's had enough of a dry back that it's lost a significant amount of water weight.

Exactly what he said Basic watering technique. Can't go wrong with weight. Soon you will see the need for moisture in the plant. Pick up the pot...yep needs water. If her leaves aren't reaching for the lamps..somethings up.

I've never used your specific medium, but by the time any soil I've used has gotten dry enough that the plants go limp, the soil is usually fairly hydrophobic. If you water too quickly, it'll run through without actually saturating very much. So I recommend taking your sweet time adding water.
