Tell us about the medium they’re in and water and feeding. Pics of the entire plant as well.

The medium, before it was soil dirt, perlite & some other stuff for aeration, but I realized it was too compact cause the water would pool up.

Water I used spring water.
Feeding, I used joyful dirt, I recently started feeding it. Like a week ago.

Now (like a hour or 2 ago) I removed it from the pot u see in the picture, took off most of the dirt I could around the root ball (some fine root came off with the soil, not sure if that's gonna mess anything up, but..

Now it's in a much better mix; soil dirt, a little fox farm ocean, coco coir, perlite, worm castings with some other stuff added for aeration and now the water is running through the medium much better, no pooling.

Roots. Compaction of the medium as you noted. I grow exclusively in Pro Mix and it can compact and does. I regularly use bamboo barbecue skewers and pierce the living shit out of my plants. 3-7 gallon bags depending. It not only doesn’t hurt your roots they love it. Aerate and oxygenate when you cultivate. They’re not drooping in the post transplant pics. Happy to be free.
