You’re likely watering too frequently, are you letting the plant dry out completely between waterings?

I was until last week I watered it sooner than usual thinking it needed it. Probably guessed wrong

Agreed. It looks like it’s currently in a pretty large pot for the size of the plant’s supposed root system. That might also be contributing. I’d recommend allowing it to completely dry out between waterings (waiting at least 18 days before watering, or more if necessary), and repotting it into a pot with no more than 1-2 inches wider in diameter than the width of the plant’s root ball. Hope this helps

I’d make sure it’s in a well draining pot with drainage holes on bottom, they like to be pretty dry
