These leaves just came off in my hand, any idea what the problem might be?

Pink Nerve plant, she gets watered about every 4/5 days as the app recommends. She also sits next to a window and a humidifier.

Is it mushy?

No? The leaves felt half dried out and half normal

It does look pretty wet. App is more a suggestion than a rule, to remind you to check your plant.

Are they all lower leaves that were touching soil? I've found that, as much as these like to stay hydrated, they don't want leaf tips touching moist soil and will pitch an absolute fit about it.
