It might have been overwatered. Check the roots and if they have any brown mushy parts, remove them. Spray with hydrogen peroxide and repot in fresh well draining soil.

\+ make sure the pot has drainage  
you’ll want to use planta’s watering schedule as a guide, not rule! check the actual moisture of the soil before watering again

### sarita commented on 2024-10-12

\+ do it soon! rotting will spread
