Swedish Ivy (Plectranthus oertendahlii) Looking Unhealthy

Hi everyone,

My Plectranthus oertendahlii doesn't seem to be doing too well. I think it's called Swedish Ivy "Emerald Lace".

I've had it for about a month and a half at this point.
When I brought it home it was bushy, but a little limp. I watered it and it perked right up.

Unfortunately, it's always wilted now and isn't as bushy, despite the fact that I don't recall collecting any significant number of dead leaves.

I was going to water it again, but the moisture meter said the soil near the bottom of the pot is still wet.

The pot has good drainage. I believe the pot is the proper diameter for this plant, but I'm now thinking it may be a little too deep.

Could it be root rot?
How I could I tell if this was the case?
