All of the plants look very dry. Clay pots soak up a lot of water. You can bottom water to allow both the pots and soil to fully soak up water.

You have to fully soak the pot and soil whether you top or bottom water. Moisture bleeds through to the outer clay pot. Mold can build up under the pot and the floor/stand when the clay is soaked. Protect the areas.

The pots look too big especially the pot holding the aloe vera. The new pot should be about 2 inches wider than the original pots or the plant can’t use up all the water particularly when the soil is fully soaked. 🍀🪴
