Overwatering or under watering

It’s in a self watering pot and I wait until the dial shows nearly empty

I have my sliver dragon in a self watering pot too. It was doing the samething. If you going to use a self watering pot for this type of plant the soil as to have almost no soil in it. Need to be extra chunky

It came that way, I left it because it was doing so good, I will repot soon. Thank you
