is their best soil. My favorite potting soil for all my plants is Fox Farm Happy Frog. There are other soil blends for holding moisture etc, but their Happy Frog is my favorite as it has mychrozials (little fungal creatures in the soil)

Clay pots tend to pull moisture from the soil into the pot, I'd use plastic or those new super duper potting bags, they breathe and are better all around.

Did you add fertilizer? Sure looks like overdose of flowering elements. Good Luck. You should look up how to grow on the internet and you'll find a wealth of information.
