bought.

Too much water?

I think it is too much water,

I have 2 of these plants and only water them about once a week, stick your
finger in the pot to see if the soil is moist before you water, no point in
watering if it is moist.

Also one of my plants has grown twice as much as the other, one is at the
front of my house and one at the back, the one that has grown the most is in
the front which gets the morning and early afternoon sun.

I got both plants from similar stores to b&q
