This could be due to underwatering

Ok, I’m using planta’s schedule, which says every 6 days. Should I water more frequently or give her more water on watering days (I see the soil is wet but it doesn’t leak out through drainage holes when I water as of now)

When you water it, make sure it is wet the whole way through, so water leaks out the drainage holes. Basically just soak it until water comes out the bottom x
