Over watering?

Dude, what's the problem with this girl? The transplant was done 1 week ago because the pot was small. But since then the leaves have always seemed curled and dry. Could it be above water? The top and edges of the pot are dry but around the root ball is moist.

Leaves. Curl up

Hi ! Ze is wat aan de late kant getransplanteerd, maar ik begrijp dat je niet anders kon als de pot echt te klein was. Ze gaat hiervan herstellen, maar heeft wat tijd nodig. Je vorige pot was geen textielzak als ik het juist heb, dus dit is ook een aanpassing voor haar. Deze stoffen potten houden lang hun vocht vast, dus het is zeker niet abnormaal dat de kluit vochtig is. Weliswaar is het beter om water te geven verder weg van de kluit, zo gaan je wortels op zoek en word je aarde overal wat bevochtigd. En nooit teveel water ineens geven, maar beter meerdere keren kleinere watergiften. Zo deed ik het met deze stoffen potten en het werkte zeer goed. Zolang de kluit te nat is, geef geen water, ik liet dit altijd goed droog worden. Want een natte kluit geeft uiteindelijk ook weer problemen. Ik hoop dat ik kon helpenšŸ™‚ Veel succes!!šŸŒ±

Give your plant a good drink, ensuring the substrate is moistened from top to bottom and from side to side. After transplanting, the roots, no matter how careful you were, generally suffer some kind of damage, which then leads to the temporary loss/reduction in the plants ability to scavenge water. If the sides are dry, this indicates to me that she is most likely suffering dehydration. This is why after transplanting it is vital to give your plants a good "settling in" drink/watering, in order for her to stay hydrated while her roots readjust to their new home. I am positive your plant will recover and be much happier once she has received a thorough and even watering, extending the entire volume of the pot, from side to side and top to bottom and not just next to the plant. There is almost zero chance of your plant suffering with over watering in the textile/fabric pots, this is what they were invented to stop this from happening. The root pruning was an added benefit. After this try and maintain an even moisture level, not too wet and not too dry. This might take some juggling to work out, but once mastered, will become instinctual. Waiting until the top inch or so is dry is the basic yardstick of when to water again - stick your finger in the substrate, as your finger is the most effective moisture meter ever invented and cheap too. Sticking your finger in multiple areas can give you a better indication of the moisture level of the entire pot. How long until she dries out before watering is hard to judge and relies on many variables (this is the juggling bit!), such as temps, pant size, plant strain, air flow, and the actual type of substrate and its water holding ability. A bit of careful observation will get you there. Hope this helps ,,.... Organoman.

Unless your soil was hot your transplanted to I don't see what you mean in the pictures. Also go off weight of planter to judge how much water is in it. In a fabric pot you wanna soak all substrate when you water. So roots head to edges and get pruned and more developed thus improvement of root efficiency.
