I would agree with Karri. It is very important to
keep your plant dry and avoid getting the leaves wet.
Water from below (drip or hoses), thin out any crowded
leaves to allow air to freely move around, use an
electric fan even to circulate the air a bit more.
I've had similar problems in the past so I know what
you are going through. Good luck.
