It has been droopy for 2/3 days
Is a normal supermarket potting soil with no fertilizers...only organic compost
Ph is around 6.7
No perlite? Looks heavy on the compost. No oxygen to the roots.
How big is the pot, and how much water do u give her, and how often

Nope
Only expanded clay that's almost the same thing

The pot is 3 liters
I water with 150/200 ml of ph water every 2 days
Interesting indeed
Maybe root bound, that's a pretty small pot, but pics are misleading, they look bigger

A good test for soil is to grab a small handful of moist soil and squeeze. When you open your hand it should hold. When you poke it , it should break up easily. If the soil is staying tightly in a ball when you poke it, it is too heavy. It's a quick test for troubleshooting.

The plant is very small compared to the pot...so is almost impossible to have a root bound, I think...

Thank you...I will try as soon as l come back home
Like Virgin said, I'd re evaluate your watering
If your soil is too heavy, the top can dry out but the middle could be saturated. Do you lift the pots at all to gauge how dry they are? I kept an extra pot filled with soil next to my plants. Compare the weight. When they feel to be similar weights, it's time to water.
If you feel your soil is too heavy, I would repot. Try to find your soil bag of you can, well have a look at it. Go from there.

Ok...I tried...and the soil is perfect
Now the leaves are lifted up...but they are still clawing..
Cool. You probably just need to reassess how you water. They really need a wet to dry cycle.

Lol
Do the weight test Virgin recommend, it works great
Watering can be the tuffest thing to master, and, it changes every few weeks as they grow. Focus on it and the rest will fall into place

Now weigh the pot, judge the weight and remember it
Water it, not over water, but water it
Weight it again, judge the weight
Now u have a base on watered and dry pot

I would agree that it could be nitrogen toxicity. If the pot is truly dry my guess would be the compost is to blame. If the compost is "hot" or contains any manures it could just be to much for a plant that size. Next time try mixing in some sand to cut the compost and add aeration to the mix.
