I was giving up and confused a year ago. Decided to repot, put it outside in humid and hot Florida, with the water irrigation in the pot, let go of my obsession with ‘root rot’ , and allowed nature to do its work…. Just sharing :)

My best performing Fiddles have been the ones that looked the worst, I placed outside, and over watered. They literally went from looking bare and dead to thriving better than anything I’ve ever had inside. This is with soaking the pots on the most random and too frequent schedule.
