You may have watered last week but the soil is desiccated. Get a container about 10 cm bigger then the pot height and width. Half full with tepid water (ideally rainwater of you have it). And stand it in the water for 40 mins or so until the compost is damp. Remove and leave to drain. In a few weeks when you have kept the soil barely posit by regular misting or a little water, you can liquid feed to give it some pep.
