Reviving an underwatered plant

My small plant dehydrated all at once in a solo cup. It happened a day and a half after I last watered it. Maybe the plant was to big for the cup idk. I had to remove the the dried out crumbly leaves so now it just has half of what it did have but the stems are alive and well it seems.
What's the best thing I can do to revive it? I put it in a bigger pot and watered it heavily. Should I turn the lights off for a while or something? I'm very worried cuz I've puta lot of effort into this first grow and it was so healthy just the day before this happened.. sucks
(Idk how to upload pics from my phone or I would post a pic)
Thx in advance

Give it water would be my first reaction

Give it a good soaking. The leaves will be bck to perky in a few hours time.

Dont play with the lights or do anything else that may cause it to stress (even a little bit)

Smaller pots water more often bigger water less often rule of thumb

Keep watering they're perk right up a lot of water drown them

How about try watering it a normal amount, removing dead leaves so they don't mold, and putting it in a humidity dome. Leaves transpire much less in high humidity environments, which is why you need high humidity for clones. How about give it one normal watering and leave it in a humidity dome until it stiffens?

The "stiffness" you're referring to is a direct result of the very transpiration you're suggesting to stifle.

yes I know, but it's also a sign that the root system is good enough for the shoot system.
I'm sorry, I guess I didn't elaborate about my suggestion. I'm assuming that the reason the leaves were dying is that the roots that supported them died of thirst. New, young, lateral roots account for a lot of surface area and they are the first to die when the soil dries out. So I'm worried about them. If they recover the plant will recover. That's my logic.
