Wrinkled leaves means thirsty plant.

When you repotted, how were the roots?  
What king of media did you use when repotting?  
How often do you water?  
How do you water - top water or soak?

when should i soak?

I would wait until the media is dry. A good indicator is when the roots inside the pot turn silvery.
