it looked like this, a few people said probably over watered, so i waited till today to water again, soil was really dry and light so im sure it wasn't too early. Now a few of the leaves are even more droopy and canoeing and limp,. any idea what caused this or how to fix it?? temp is around 80, haven't been giving any nutes lately cuz last time i did it burnt it.
2 days ago,

today

I think you should leave it alone until it shows signs of needing water. My plants get their soil flooded with water every 6-7 days. Dousing the soil with lots of water will only unlock the nutrients faster, which could cause nutrient burn. She will let you know when she needs water, she doesn't need it every other day. When it's small, only water where you perceive roots to be under the surface, eventually when your plant gets bigger, it will be necessary to water all of the soil.

Oh yeah, make sure that your container has drain holes. You want the soil to dry out a fair amount before re-watering, and if your roots are suspended in stagnant water, it will develop root rot/fungus/mold which will definately kill your plant and could be harmful to humans; don't hurt yourself.

Alright i'll hold off on watering. It has a bunch of drain holes in the bottom i think i'm safe with what. I think it might be burnt from the shitty miracle grow potting soil.. i wanna get some ocean forest but currently broke.

you wanna water slowly, but water till there is a lot of runoff..

water again when the soil is dry to the touch about an inch down... and yes do not use miracle grow soil. get fox farms happy frog or sunshine mix 4
