I take my plants do this mix and now they all are looking bad, leaves are wilted bad and I think Im going to loose them, any ideas for me?? Thanks.

For potted plants:
1/3 horticultural or rinsed stucco sand (not playground sand, it contains herbicides and pesticides)
1/3 ground coir or peat
1/3 hard pumice (preferred) or perlite (o.k.)
The whole reason for using a pot is to keep it out of the local soil.
The place to check the soil is at a hole in the bottom of the pot. Stick your finger in there. If it is moist, it is not time to water yet. If the pot is sitting in a tray, make sure no water is standing in the tray.
