It is doing well in the summer heat but I am not sure how well it will survive the 30 deg. winter.
Hi Mirella, if its over watered you might want to try and set it out in the sun so it has a chance to dry out
If it's in a pot, make sure you have enough holes in the bottom for drainage. I had one with this issue. One more hole & problem solved.
You can take it out of its pot and remove the wet soil. Allow the soil to dry outside or replace with fresh soil.
Thou can put a few paper towels under it so they soak up the water. Make sure it has plenty of holes on the bottom of the pot, try putting some small rocks on a tray that it sits on. If you pot has no holes on the bottom then the water has no where to go, holes are a must for drainage. You can try patting the soil with a paper towel
