Re-potting usually puts some stress on the plant; you've repotted twice in just a few days. Any stress you are noticing could just be from that or there may be underlying issues. Close up photos of the plant would help.

Winkly leaves can indicated that the plant is thirsty OR over watered, confusing I know. When was it last watered? How wet was the soil during the times you repotted it?

Can you elaborate on the soil mix you used? Is the garden soil from a bag? Does it contain peat? About what size is the gravel and was it sifted or rinsed? Sand is generally not recommended unless it's very gritty type.

Hello Cari.

the plant was watered when i bought it, like soaking wet. So i repotted it because the soil stayed too wet after two days from my purchase on Sept 8. i checked the roots and stem, and no rot.

my last watering was yesterday, sept 12.

the soil mix is from my yard. So it doesnt contain peat. The sand was not sifted and rinsed. I will update this post once i get a close up photo :) my camera is quite poor in low light situations.

thank you cari!

I agree with Cari, sand fills in the small air gaps that benefit the plants. Even though you have repotted twice, I would repot again w/o the sand(and garden soil worries me if it has a high clay content). There are several soil options, and a search of this forum may help. Since you have repotted, I would not water very much. These plants would much prefer being too dry rather than too wet. When I see that my portulacaria needs water, I wait two more days then water thoroughly. It is normal for these plants to start out with red stems that harden off brown. Good luck Maria!

Garden soil and sand is not a good idea for a container, even in the Philippines.

The wrinkled leaves are from the recent root disturbance.
