Here's my problem folks:


I water my plants every 3 days, or when the upper 1 1/2" layer of the soil feels dry with 400ml of water. This gives me a 10-20% runoff each time. Pretty much 20 min. after I watered the plants I can tell how the top leaves of each plant curl down, showing a dropping impression. The leaves do go back up after 1-2 hours after watering. I am now not sure if this a form of over watering, as I believe over watering comes from leaving the soil soggy and watering it again without properly drying the soil out for the roots to breath. All 5 plants look very healthy and are a little bigger than 2'.

I appreciate any form of advice for this particular problem.

Thanks!

Cheers
 
Pick your pots up, when they get light water.
If your plant bounces back, IMO i wouldn't worry about it.
Get a soil moisture meter. You can see what the moisture level is deep in the soil.
The top may be dry but 5"-6" deep the soil might be good and moist.
