underwatered
Dried out, neglected
Underwatered describes a plant that hasn't received enough water, showing signs of stress like wilting, yellowing, or dry soil: The underwatered tomatoes were starting to droop.
Less commonly, it describes the condition itself or the act of insufficient watering: I tend to underwater my houseplants.
