i would add some perlite to the soil it will make it easier for root development and drainage, if it has roots you can get rid of the make shift dome.

Your over watering it that's why the leaves look like that. Lay off the water for 48 hours maybe more if needed.

If your clone was already rooted then it must be suffering moisture stress from being potted that way.. don't be cheap and lift the plant. Get some perlite.

Is it in rockwool? Coco is also a good method for improving soil. Go easy on nutes, water a lil bit less, try foliar feeding for a while. Good luck

I wouldn't say it's dying. It may be moisture stress though, my plant had that because I put my rockwool cube into the soil absolutely saturated with water, once I took it out, drained it, and repotted, my plant is coming back to life. I'm not saying to do that with yours because I am not fully convinced your plant has the same problem, I just want to illustrate that these plants are tough and can take a lot. Focus on how the new growth looks, while it's important to pay attention to Fan Leaves as well, if your new growth is coming in at a good rate and looks pretty good I wouldn't stress too much

I'm not a expert but im not sure thats the right way think you need to put the clone into rockwool first? What soil are you using?

I am pretty new at this myself but my clones always do this...right when I think they are dying they get roots...

I would never have a clone in plain soil, too hard... Yes i would water when the top few mills are dry. And btw, rockwool clones are great because once there ready to be potted there is already a nice root system in a moist, nutritious environment. But overall, u need better medium/drainage. Good luck

What a bad friend you have.. to give you an unrooted clone, lol I should do that prank.. if only I could tell real people :(

I would definitely not pay for a rooted clone...although does it wilt over if you leave the dome off? Or does she keep standing straight? If she stands straight then she has roots, just not enough, and if she wilts she doesn't yet...and needs the dome. It it has roots beginning then this is normal...
