Soil problems

if it's not repelling the water, and it is absorbing all is fine. sounds like maybe you are trying to water too soon or the substrate is hydrophobic. if the pot is heavy and you can tellit is absorbing water, it is not hydrophobic. seems like you are choosing how much water to give instead of allowing the soil to dictate. It may have a different water-holding capacity than what you used before, so it will take a different volume to get the job done. 1 - Water until you get a little runoff -- in soil you minimize this to avoid leaching out your amended nutes that you paid for. 2 - Wait until top layer dries, and re-irrigate. if deviating from that, you are doing it wrong and that is the problem. now, if you have hydrophobic soil, the water will run off without absorbing... this is a very poorly made potting soil, if true, lol. They didn't add a wetting agent. If this is the case, look up using yucca extract or some other wetting agent/surfactant to condition your soil.

Doesnt look like your soil got too dry, which would make it go hydrophobic. In that case you would want to add a wetting agent like yuccah and water really slowly in multiple small doses. (wait an hour in between multiple tiny amounts of watering) Im watering my soil with a maximum of 10% of the soil volume as water. In your case this would be a watering of 2-2.5 liters. Wait until the soil dries out for you to be able to add another 5-10% before watering again. Having 2 liters of runoff means your soil is fully saturated and you have watered 2l too much.

Wasser läuft aus entweder weil deine Erde zu trocken ist und durch die Luft im inneren der Erde das Wasser an den Seiten runter läuft. Deine Töpfe müssten entsprechend sehr leicht sein. Die andere Variante ist, wenn die zu viel Wasser haben, dann ist die Erde mit Feuchtigkeit gesättigt und kann keine mehr halten, daher läuft es ab… Zusätzlich kommt es auf die Beschaffenheit deiner Erde an, ob sie gut Wasser speichern kann oder halt eher weniger, aber ich denke das es bei dir überwässerung ist.
