Droopy hibiscus leaves.

I just bought a small hibiscus from a home and garden store. It looked fine until I put it in a new pot and watered it. Now the leaves are drooping a tad. They aren't turning yellow yet and they really aren't wilting. There are buds on them that seem to be doing fine. Is it a water issue? Should I water it more. The tag says to let the soil dry before I water.

    could be shock from being replanted. wait a week or two before watering again.
