use good soil, this is way too dense as a substrate

Soil looks like clay – thats to hard/dense. Roots have a hard time in this, it is like cement to them.

You’re gonna need *potting soil* for pots/containers. The clue’s in the name. Replant them in appropriate soil and they’ll be fine.

Did you plant it in concrete? 😂

Where did you get the “soil”?
ghidfg
the soil isnt necessarily bad. I have mine planted in something similar and they are doing fine. it does look dry though, how often are you watering them?

Better soil and mulch the surface

Start over. Watch some YouTube videos on gardening or read some books.

Damn. That’s the most compact soil I’ve ever seen in a fabric pot.
Also when you buy potting soil. Fill it to the top.
You’re asking for trouble filling it part way

That’s dirt not soil. Better off starting again with a bag of real soil. Not that crap dug out of your yard that basically amounts to cement.

I know you are from India here we mostly plant in soil in ground which is tilted.(in ground not in pots) for pots try mixing compost to that soil .
Also for the people making fun of him here some nurseries sell fucking clay as potting soil he might be a beginner so most likely got scammed buy the nursery.

Give it the ol hawk tua, water that thang

You’re growing in clay/mud, you needed better soil to start with.
poopmangler
Wow, that’s really dry and dense
Thousand_YardStare
That soil is WAYYYYYY too dense. You need a potting mix or potting mix-natural soil blend in containers. This appears to be very clay-dense.

As others have said, 100% the soil. It doesn’t look like there is any drainage there whatsoever. You don’t need to go crazy, just mixing some potting soil with some perlite or other medium to allow drainage will be more than enough.
People calling out for NPK and organics and nutrients and stuff aren’t wrong but the issue isn’t that at all here. This is just too dense and too wet.

That looks like some really heavy clay 🫣

You should be using potting soil. You can Google how to make your own.

Did you plant it in refried beans?

You need a liquid fertilizer. Water every day. In the water add 1/2 of the recommended dosage for the liquid fertilizer. Do not exceed. Your plant will look different in a week.

That looks like topsoil when you should’ve used potting soil

Quit buying stuff online or at a hardware store, go to your local garden center

Not enough aeration in the soil and in turn, poor drainage.

indians are rice eating people too, so im pretty sure your place has a lot of rice husk, why you people dont use it for gardening? rice husk are good substitute for perlite, also burnt rice husk is a good organic ferrilizer, not as good as compost but its better than none at all, it also helps soil aeration and good source of calcium, it is used often in seed germination here in my place

Looks dry

That is garden soil not potting soil, it’s getting smashed

You may want to buy some planter soil from lowes or Walmart and replant it and water it welll

that soil looks awful bro wtf is that??
Bitter_Currency_6714
That soil looks lifeless. Try using fresh compost mixed with some volcanic pumice for drainage. Pretty much what I grow in and have fantastic results

I never have had luck with those potting bags. Terracotta is the premium standard in my opinion, it lets the roots breathe without getting too hot in the sun. Or just put ‘er right into good old, stinky Mother Earth’s natural soil.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 yes… you don’t know plants basic needs
toolsavvy
Hard to say without being there, but looks like you put only mineral soil (aka earth) in that bag and looks like it has a high rate of clay in it.
For pots/bags, you need soil with high tilth. Earth soil can be used in a pot or bag (and I recommend it), but you need to combine it with organic matter like compost, peat moss and perlite.
What to do? Hmmmm. I would say at this point you have nothing to lose, so…
– Dig the plant up very carefully, and gently remove the bulk of the soil around it’s roots.
– Remove 75% of the soil in the bag and replace it with a potting mix. MiracleGro potting mix in the yellow bag will be fine. Make sure to mix the 25% earth and 75% potting mix really well.
– Replant your plant.
After this is don’t I would keep it in a part-shade area for about a week. I will define this areas as an area that gets only morning sun and by noon it is shaded.

as others have said, use potting soil. if it doesn’t come with perlite, add it. you need drainage as well as good soil.
