In my opinion your 1:1 mix is super-draining with all that perlite you have added. I think additionally, Miracle Gro already has perlite in it. Sooooooo, with all the perlite plus our hot weather, your soil is drying out way too fast. I think you need to modify your ratio and use 1/3 Miracle Gro, 1/3 Black Kow, and 1/3 perlite. .

Actually the soil is still pretty moist. I do have to say that the bag of miricale grow soil was a big bag and the perlite was a small bag.
So were actually looking at 1/3 perlite to 2/3 soil. Again I did pack it really really firm when I repotted them.
