The overwatering will give you a crappy root zone, leaves won't have to be wet or soft for it to be overwatered. I still think bad watering practice. Let it go dry, feel the pot, lift it and you'll know if it's dry all through or not. Look at the holes in the bottom if you have to to see if the soil is wet. When it's dried out give it a light feed (because of the yellow leaves) , and do it so you get a small trickle come out the bottom, not a gushin, a trickle, then it's watered through. Then give it a few days and lift the pot again and you'll get used to knowing when it needs water/feed. Atb
