| The roots look just fine to me. I don't think I see any signs of being too wet. However, the important thing is not how wet the roots are at the top of the mix, but how wet the mix stays down inside. Use the skewer method mentioned above, and written up by me. Read it using the link in atcrosby's post. If you are worried about the exposed roots drying too much, or being dry too long, you can mist them in the morning (be sure the leaves are dry by the time the temp starts to fall), but be sure you are not misting so much that you are actually watering the plant and keeping the mix wet all the time.
The wrinkled bottom leaf looks like it is being cast off by the plant. If wrinkling is only in that one leaf, it is not a problem. Leaves eventually get old enough, they must be discarded by the plant.
