The soil looks too wet. It’s possibly overwatered from the green color of the topsoil, but, it’s hard to tell. The top soil should dry out about 1 inch between watering.

Check for proper drainage of the soil. Check for root rot. You may have to change out the soil if overwatering is the root cause.
