Hi everyone! I’m a new gardener and could really use some advice. I recently bought a few plants and repotted them, but they’re not looking too good already. They’ve been getting plenty of sun, I’ve been watering them daily, and the pots all have drainage holes. The soil doesn’t seem overly wet, but it doesn’t drain super quickly either. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong—any tips or suggestions would be appreciated! 🌿🪴

are they getting too much sun?

I’m so new at this, I honestly don’t know how to tell what too much sun would look like. I just know the women helping me at the garden nursery said to give them lots of Sun but maybe it was too much?

They look like they might be overheating. Try slightly less light and water twice a day if it's extra hot out. For reference, the soil in your photos looks dry enough to water

Thank you!
