Dump the pot in a bucket of water to try and moisten up the medium - I
assume you are using peat here. Peat can be very awkward to get wet
again. You may have to weigh the pot down so it stays submerged.
After letting it soak for a while take it out and water as normal.

The plant _probably_ will be ok, since it has a rhizome it can
always retreat into that and have enough resources to come up again
when things get better
