I repotted my rubber plant because I thought he needed more space. However ever since then he has become droopy, losing leaves and his leaves have become really really soft droopy and not thick and hard like before. He still gets the same amount of light (12hr grow light) and I follow his watering schedule. However I started to notice that when I water him the water drains like normal but if I dig further into the soil it stays dry. No matter how much water I give him the water drains out normally but the soil especially around his stems/roots remain dry. I’ve squeezed his pot to break up the soil but there’s still a lot of soil that remains dry. Did I give him way too much space? Please help he is my first baby and I don’t want him to die :(!!!!! I haven’t changed the type of soil or water (distilled water) so I am so confused!!

    The soil is hydrophobic. If you immerse the pot in a bucket of water for 30 minutes, you can break the hydrophobicity and hopefully that will help your plant bounce back.

      Thank you! I did that this Saturday and now my plant has started coming back to life! Do you know any way to avoid this happening? Is it a drainage problem?
