The soil looks dry to me & your mention of them being dry for two days would indicate that they likely need water.

I use the MG Garden soil in raised beds and containers.  The product may vary across the country, but down here I would not dream of using it without mixing in generous amounts of perlite.  It is just too wet & dense otherwise, imho.
