Root loss isn't due to water, it's due to suffocation. In as coarse of a potting mix as that it, I doubt there'd be enough trapped water to block any air flow.

Water it!

Water it!
It is normal that the roots are pointing towards out the pot? (the new one)

I run the water through the pot instead of soaking it.

Thanks
