Looks like overwatering to me. Is the soil wet when you water it?

With the type of pot I have I can’t feel the bottom of the soil, but I always make sure that the top couple of inches are dry before watering

Try putting a clean bamboo chopstick to the bottom of the pot for around 2 minutes. If it comes out clean, you can water. If it comes out dirty or wet, dont

Thank you for the tip! 😊

how long have you had it? start lifting your plants and getting to know them! after a while you can tell by the weight of the pot if it’s still wet or not.

I sprinkle food grade diatomaceous earth into the soil of mine.  
There’s silica in it and it helps them with firmness.  
Also, it’s a natural way to kill pests.  
Good stuff.
