I think you might be overwatering her.

I think you are right. I repotted it and it was pretty wet. No nets or cages though. I only water once a week and its in a nursery pot so plenty of drainage.

I bought mine from a big chain grocery store and it started to do the same thing and seemed like the leaves were starting to get mushy. Turned out that the roots had a mesh ball around them causing the roots to start rotting. Might be worth looking into and repotting with new soil if so!

I’m going to check that out. I also bought mine from a big chain grocery.
