OK, thanks Blackflame, I got water/nutrient to normal/normal, so I'll let it go and hope for the best. The status is wilted/wilting now, but it seems to take 6-8 hours to change the status once you have changed the water/nutrient thing. Anyone confirm or narrow down that time estimate?

Here we are 12hours later, and now the plant is:
Health: Perfect Condition
Growth Rate: Fast
Water Level: Dry
Nutrient Level: Above Normal.
Im not entirely certain about when it updates, but on 2 seperate occasions, each time I had return to inspect the plant after 24hrs, I immediately added nutrients to maintain the "Above Normal" rating. I then altered it to "High" and within a minute, I examined the plant again to notice that the Health went from Full of Life to Perfect condition, but the growth rate had decreased from Fast to Above normal.
From this observation I can only conclude that the nutrient level is more important than the water level, as long as the plant is maintained within a given stable setting.
Mine has been at "Arid" for 2 days now, and all I adjusted was the nutrients.
I have no idea what the cycle time is, but there can be an immediate change after you adjust nutrients/water after you've returned from a 24hr period.
I also have 2 Blue-leaf standing lamps on either side of the plant.

Yes, I added two lamps next to my plant also
Figured it cant hurt.
I have changed things a lot, including nutrients, and have NEVER seen an immediate change in health or growth rate,so maybe yours was just cause it was due to change anyway ... ?
Anyhow, Im taking advice and got normal/normal water/nutrients, going to leave it overnight and hope it stops wilting!

9/7 - H: Full of Life, GR: Wilting, WL: Moist, NL: Above Normal
9/7 - H: Perfect Condition, GR: Normal, WL: Moist, NL: Above Normal
From reading this thread, tommorrow I may try increasing only the nutrients to see if I can increase the growth rate.

After observing my plant for a few days I have come to the conclusion that changing the levels around isnt going to instantly change things. I believe it all has to do with consistency. I've kept my levels at normal for a few days and here are my results
Health: Perfect Condition
Growth Rate: Normal
Water Level: Normal
Nutrient Level: Normal

Day 3,4,5 and 6:
Condition: Good
Growth Rate: Slow
Water: Normal
Nutrients Above Normal
I have changed it to
Water: Wet
Nutrients: High
I am also going to get some lightage!
Maybe a green light will make it feel more at home

I have something interesting to report for my Aurilian Plant.
I logged in and went to check on it status. It was:
Health: Excellent
Growth: Slow
Water: Below Normal
Nutrient: Normal
I had been maintaining a Water: Normal and Nutriet: Above Normal approach so overnight the levels and obviously sunk. So i put more wate rand nutrients in to bring it up to my plan (i figure slow growth is better than wilting!)
I examined the plant and nothing changed. Then i had an idea.
Some people believe talking to their plants helps them grow.
So i tried it.
i did this: %TT, what is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
I then re-examined the plant and to my incredible surprise the plant now stood as:
Health: Vibrant and Colourful
Growth: Above normal
Water: Normal
Nutriet: Above normal
Woo hoo 
Maybe its just a coincidence, and maybe the plant was just updating to the next level after a few days of my water: normanl nutriet:above normal routine... but it was darn funny anyway

I just tried the talking to another plant i have admin access to. It was
Health: Vibrant and Colourful
Growth: Below Normal
I fed it it 50 water and 50 nutrient to bring it to Normal/Normal and nothing changed. I tried talking to it with the %TT method.
Nothing happened.
I left the building but decided to check it one last time and headed back. Examined it to find it
Health: Full of Life
Growth: Slow
Off to talk to another plant now!
PS dont accidentlaly miss tell into guildchat with "%TT come on grow! you can do it!" . You look like an idiot

Third Test
I went to a plant which i do not have admin access to. I examined it and it was:
Health: Full of Life
Growth: Normal
Water: Normal
Nutrient: Normal
I talked to it and asked it:
%TT what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
%TT come on grow! you can do it!
and asked it the swallow question again 
I reaxmined it and nothing happened. So i took a stroll around my guildmate shouse looking around, and returned about 2 or 3 minnutes later to the plant. I examined it and found:
Health: Perfect Condition
Growth: Normal
Water: Normal
Nutrient: Normal
The condition HAS improved before my very eyes! I will be trying on a 4th plant later but as for now i urge you all to give it a go.
Out of 3 tests it seems that talking to it increases the health, or perhaps causes an update? More tests from others would be beneficial

Well I guess it couldn't hurt to talk to the dang thing, I'm getting pretty frustrated with this.
After trying many things yesterday, I reset WL/NL to normal/normal, as people suggested, and left it overnight. This morning it is still wilted/wilting. What else can I try to keep this thing alive?? Any other ideas?
