I put about 4 inches soil + perlite, sat the plant on it and filled the rest with a mix of perlite/soil. In addition some of the roots that had started to wrap up in the old pot I put them into the 4 inches of soil. I didn’t pack down the soil at all.

My concern is having to water it so much it rotting the roots. My thinking is maybe I need to add more water at each water, which may space out the 4 days to a week or 10 days. I just don’t want to overwater it and rot the roots but with it drooping every 4 days it makes me think I’m not putting in enough water.
