If you’re going to use the bag,, maybe put some sticks around the edges to create a tent,, Don’t let the bag touch the plant

This ^^

Or upend a big clear storage container over the plant and spritz the inside of that. Just something to hold a higher humidity environment immediately around the plant.
 
And, what's in your mix? Is there enough perlite or something for aeration? We often see droop like that and call it overwatering, but what it really is, is lack of oxygen to the roots.
 
Shake and feed??? What is the NPK ??? You need to go lite on a young lady, you need to get a water soluble furt . Not a granular . Especially If you’re going to water from the bottom.. granular could burn

This sounds more like what the issue is. Once the plant stabilizes a good flush may be in order. Or maybe a repot into a gentler soil? She's definitely not liking something in there.

How long ago was the up-pot?

When mixing organic amendments into the soil, a "cooking" period is usually called for to allow the microbes to break down those ingredients. This happens before you put a plant into the mix. The worm castings are likely fine but the feather and bone meals definitely need that extra time. The microbes will cause the mix to heat up as they consume and digest the material and each other, much like happens in compost. Once the mix cools off it is good to use.

So I'll bet that's a big part of your issue. Shaking that mix on top of the soil allows that process to happen over time without burning the roots. Mixing it into the mix however introduces complexities you don't need in your life right now.

I think you should repot into a mix without any of that in it, let it regroup and then you can add a sprinkling of that feed to the top of the soil if you want.

She is in my laundry room so I put a load of laundry in on hot to get it humid in there and I guess it's helping..

Ok good. Might as well keep doing laundry! :laughtwo:

But certainly keep a good eye on it as I think you have a grow mix issue that could be burning your roots. If she's looking better I'd hold off on the repot to see if she stabilizes on her own, but just be aware to use the nutes as recommended.
