Always check the roots 1st before making any conclusions.

You must know what is really happening with the plants, not blindly guess at what's happening.

Just because the leaves are shriveling doesn't necessarily mean it's because of lack of water just by itself.

It may mean the plant isn't getting enough water because the roots are mostly dead.

Finding the true problem is the challenge, there's no way to figure it out in simplistic terms necessarily speaking. Sometimes it is simple, other times the problem seems simple, but is actually much more complicated.
