Don't do anything. You transplanted. That will cause them to droop. Especially if you were a little rough.

Last thing you want to do is move the light closer when they are already stressed.

Chill, they will bounce back.

If the soil was totally dry they were probably just thirsty. They droop when they're dehydrated. Did you water them since you transplanted?

In a soil like medium it is best to allow the medium to dry out and transplant at the point of watering. After the transplant give them lots of water until they come out of the transplant shock. After they have become stable then you can safely move the light closer and slack back on the water.

I dont think its best at all. You should try transplanting one time when the plant is 50% damp. It must have a good root system so it doesnt fall apart. If it doesnt have a good root system then its not time to transplant. Then you wont have to drown them and throw them into shock. You can give them a reg size drink after transplant and they will jump on you watering schedule faster...wont suffer from over watering stress at all. Its not transplant shock here, its over watering..trying to compensate for the complete dry out of the plant before transfer
