LEAF DROOP: How much droop is normal between watering?

Some of my Cinderella99s are droopy. Based on touching the soil, I would wait another day to water, but the leaves say otherwise. What do you think about this?

Leaves. Curl down
Plant. Wilting
Feeding. Other

As a rule of a thumb you should repot when leaf line reaches the side of the container. They are getting too packed in their pots. Pop them into at least 10-15l pots and they should be fine for the rest of their life. They will need about 1-2 weeks to adjust, then they will bounce back rapidly. Good luck :)

Okay! thanks everybody I will definitely transplant now. an experienced local grower told me it needed to have 5 nodes before doing that, but I guess size is the main characteristic to judge that by? thanks everyone!! 😁

I agree that it is past time to move them to a larger container. I really like fabric pots as they make it very difficult to over water and they offer more oxygen to the roots. The downside is increased evaporation so you need to water more frequently. I don't bother with small, starter pots. I plant my seeds directly into their forever pot. I don't want the roots to be constrained by a small pot and I want to avoid the transplant shock every time you move them to a larger container.

I would transplant asap then do your watering. Also give them some epsom salts with the watering helps with shock.
