ive been watering it weekly but i guess the soil was still a little damp. i just thought i week would be long enough. should i leave it longer than a week then? ive only just got a vent put in, would that effect it?

just let the soil dry out.pick up the pot and see how heavy it is when you water. this will tell you how heavy it is. then pick it up in a few days see if its lighter. or you can stick your finger in the soil up to you 2nd nuckle. if its stillwet or damp hold off for a day or 2 longer.

yup, over watering for sure. common mistake. not to worry, just let it dry out for a few days.
