what soil are you using and have you added nutes yet, i agree with both comments from the other guys, nitrogen def yes, but why. if you have been adding nutes then it could be over watering. have you got good drainage in that pot? also how are you deliberating if the plant needs watering, can you lift the "pot" or are you using a moisture meter. its just it looks like if you tried to lift that then you could damage the roots with the soil breaking up, if you know what i mean.
